Re: Indoor Walking (Re: Hello from New Member)

[Guest guest]

All,

I would think that anywhere would be excellent to

walk. The mall has sights, sounds, and people and

would be an invigorating environment for many I am

sure.

I have started walking outdoors and alone. However, I

would think those so inclined and who enjoy walking

with others as a social activity could benefit

handsomely from such an arrangement.

I would not knock it.

FYI - In my younger years, I used to do orienteering

in the " woods " and I promise I would prefer the mall

to that...

Never forget that time that guy in front of me fell

down about 15 feet in a ravine and frankly if I had

not seen him go off the deep end I would have been

quick to join him.

I think I prefer walking in my neighborhood for now

and I do have a nature trail immediately adjoing my

neighborhood so once I have gotten off to a point

where I can do 3-5 or even 10 miles in a session, I

expect I'll be using it.

Let others walk anyway they can. Everyone has a

different ideal venue.

Later...

Only in America!

How can someone consider a walk in the mall as their daily exercise? What about some fresh air? The only reason I can think of for not walking outside is if it dangerous for some reason.

Bernd

Yeah but how about a rainy day or snow?

I see allot of elderly walking around the mall were I live.
