Walking is exercise regardless of where it's done. There are

several reasons for walking indoors - weather, traffic, etc. Many

senior people prefer walking indoors on a level surface where there

is no chance of tripping on a sidewalk crack, tree root or some

other obstacle often found outdoors.

One of the local hospitals sponsors the mall walks and provides a

monthly meeting for the groups to discuss other health related

subjects. I haven't walked with the groups for quite sometime but I

certainly enjoyed the company.
