    Oh.. for variety what I do is..

    Walking options:

    * Walk one of 3 tracks at my gym (2 are outdoor and 1 is indoor)

    * Walk nature trails

    * Walk at home to Jessica Smith Walk On DVD set (bought on Amazon... LOVE it!)

    Listen to:

    *Music (upbeat playlist, slow relaxing playlist)

    *Audiobooks (audible.com app)

    *Podcasts

    Recover with:

    * Epsom salt baths
    * Manduka massage roller (amazon)
    * Lacrosse massage ball (amazon)
    * Hoka recovery slides

    FitBit:

    * Join different challenges to hold myself accountable to getting steps in

    * Set a daily step goal in the program and meet it

    Some of us lose weight without walking. I'm talking about you @Sweets_Ross , but since most of us losing weight do walk, yes.

    Had a lovely 5km walk today, usually I'd run that distance but decided to enjoy the views this afternoon. Still manage to burn 370 Calories, it just took me over twice as long and was great for my mental health.

    Me! As long as its not cold, raining, or snowing I'm out there getting my lunch walks in. (Foul weather messes with my arthritis and sidelines me on those days.)

    I do! ( I have two reasons to run- I'm chasing it or it's chasing me....) I spend at least 90 minutes walking at 3.0+ mph on my treadmill or a 'brisk' pace outside

    Yes! I was out recovering from a hernia surgery and walking felt sooooo good! It helped me keep sane until I could run again!

    I walk a ton while playing pokemon go, and run about 3 times a week. I plan on using our small home gym in the winter plus walking if it's not TOO cold out.

    I walk about 8km a day, monday to friday (taking my daughter to school and back) and I often add in an extra daily walk listening to audible. It has kept me looking trim and toned as the 80lb + has dropped off with calorie counting and I feel great.
