Hi I am looking for other walkers like me for friendship. I love walking! My husband prefers to jog but he walks with me too. Happy to meet you all!

I am a daily walker. My friend and I do about 2.5 miles each day during our lunch break at work.

I'm a walker/hiker! My dog and I do anywhere from 4-8 miles a day. I've been trying to get him running with me but he just won't have it in this heat so we just keep walking early in the morning!

I walk! I also do cardio on the elliptical and do strength training but most of my calorie burns are from walking 20k steps a day

I hike and backpack. I simply go out my front door and there's a high ridge I hike to the top of with my dog. I wear a backpack with bottles of water, added weight. I keep my eyes open for large critters, baring in mind I'm not exactly at the top of the food chain where I live and hike. Bears.

Hi everyone! Its nice to meet you all. I walk four miles everyday except Sunday. I have not walked in about two weeks. My toe was hurting so much and not healing so I stopped to let it heal. I have big critters here where I live. The antelope have not chraged me yet. They just stare at me and go the other way as I watch them closely praying they don’t charge me. I will get back to walking tomorrow morning early as it gets up to the hundreds in temps here.

I shoot for 2 hours daily. When I can't do that, I have a glider in my basement, but I prefer the fresh air and changing scenery.

I walk 5 miles twice a week with my best friends. We walk pretty quickly so I feel like I get a good workout. I love getting fresh air and having time to talk with them. It does wonders for my mental health!

I started tracking my steps a month ago and hit my first 10 day streak of going over 10k steps each day.
I usually walk at lunch and in the evening on my non-running days.

Walking is a great way to burn calories and keep your core strong. I walked for the first 1.5 years here at MFP almost exclusively and lost 130 lbs. I now run and walk, but when the knees are angry at me I tend to walk more than run. I try to get in at least two 4-5 mile walks on the weekends and run 2 miles 2-3 times a week during the week.

I would like become a walker. I am also starting a strength training regimen again finally and cycling. But would like to incorporate walking daily. I cannot run because of foot problems but can definitely tolerate walking.

lorrpb · June 2018

When I started MFP 4 years ago at 300 lbs, I couldn't walk more than 1/4 mile without severe foot, knee, and hip pain. My goal was to walk 1 mile without stopping because I thought that would make it possible to do more things with hubby, I thought it would take me a year to be able to do that. I had no thoughts of going farther. I accomplished that in less than 3 months. Now 150 lbs lighter and hundreds of strength workouts under my belt, I can easily hike 10 miles including significant elevation gains. Wherever you are, wherever you start, you can make progress!

Yes ma’am. I started in FebruAry and have been walking around 10-12k steps daily. It’s really helped to strengthen my body!

Most of my exercise is from walking. Often indoors since it is unbearably hot outdoors right now. I'll often listen to podcasts while walking. I also do the Walk Away the Pounds DVDs some days.
