If you saw a person walking down the road doing walking lunges?

I walk to work every day (2.5 miles) and I am thinking of doing walking lunges while I walk

    Who cares what other people think! You're probably working out harder than they are!!

    I would think "oooh. Those SUCK!" followed by "I haven't done those in ages! I need to start!"

    There's a girl who lives in my apartment complex who I see doing this literally every day when I get home from work. She runs/walks on the street my complex is on and she'll be doing walking lunges down the sidewalk. I say more power to ya!

    HA! I'd probably roll my eyes. But don't worry about what others think.

    I would join them in the pursuit for the perfect lunge partner!

    I'd laugh as inconspicuously as possible, but think "good for them!"

    We have a man in town that does that, air boxes and does planks at crosswalks. I had to take a pic of the plank part. It was hilarious. He also does it in a different colored suit every day. I mean yellow jacket, tie and pants one day, all red the next, maybe purple the day after. It is great. We call him the dedicated lunatic buisnessman.

    I'd think...now what new dance craze is this? More power to you, get the workouts in as you can. Great use of time.

    I would think they are badass! Do it girl!

    When I was a kid I used to be so embarrassed because when we could go to the waterfront by my house my mom would run while we would rollerblade and she would always end her run by doing lunges. Now I think it was pretty cool!

    I would laugh at them but deep down inside I would be jealous of their hard work, dedication, and unbreakable spirit. It takes awesome balls to do walking lunges in public. I aspire to be like them. :)

    Do it! When I lived in Chicago we would pass a man that ran sideways every single day. He was rocking it!

    I second that!

    I actually see it a lot. I don't give it much thought.

    I'd think they were cuckoo. Then I would think about something else.

    Why does it matter. You'll probably get a few honks, but other than that does it really matter? And if anyone you know sees you and is asshat enough to say something the simple response is, "yes, and it is some seriously hard work, what did you do?"

    this is exactly what I think every time I see someone doing them at my gym :)

    I would assume that the person works at the Ministry of Silly Walks.

    I drove by a girl doing some 2 weeks ago and all I could think was ' I need to be doing that'.
    Just do it...if not only for yourself, you may just inspire someone else as well.

    I would probably chuckle, but would admire you and know that your *kitten* will look better than mine!

    I would be to self conscious BUT if I saw someone I would think "wow, that person is so confident and healthy I wish i had the balls"
