What Gets You To Walking?
What Gets You To Walking?
I wake up and put on "I'm Walking" by Fats Domino, do a few stretches and I am out the door for a 3-4 mile walk. Once I hear the song, and the words "I'm walking", I know that I'll soon be out the door.

My dog. Walking has always been my favorite form of exercise, but I'm lazy. The dog gets me moving.

My pedometer. My minimum goal for my pedometer, which right now is 7,000 steps a day vs. the 5,000 I started with. I usually go a few thousand over the minimum, but there is nothing like getting started and seeing the numbers go up. Plus, it is definitely paying off. I am losing weight since I've been using the pedometer (the one I have in my ipod nano).

Yep, definately my dogs get me walking. At least once a day for an hour and sometimes twice a day (depending on my work schedule). I love to get out really really early before anyone else is up and I feel like I have the whole world to myselfwosnes wrote:My dog. Walking has always been my favorite form of exercise, but I'm lazy.

Lots of the above! The dog, my pedometer (and personal goal to get in over 10,000 steps everyday) and audiobooks too.
Also, just the reality that my overall well-being -- mentally and physically -- is significantly better when I'm an active person and, for me, that means walking.

That's awesome. Also, that happens to be the same reason that I walk so much. Nothing worse than having a fat dog. Can't have that.Kevin wrote:A dog you care about is the best exercise machine.

Many things, actually. I do "Industrial Complex Ranger" during my lunch break.
* The pleasure of being asked "Why don't you run?" by the runners,
* The pleasure of answering "Why don't you simply walk?",
* The fact that it is almost effortless, cheap, and I feel good afterwards.
* It gives me a good reason to be relaxed in the afternoon, whatever the pressure at work.
Sometimes, when I work closer to the city (like I will tomorrow, for instance), I just walk to the supermarket to buy my lunch. I willingly don't choose the closest vendor.

Walking is the best form exercise for people who don’t like to work out. I hated working out but had to do some form of exercise, so I started with walking and dancing. Doing both proved very useful. Now I walk 2 miles every couple of days, and dance when I am free. Walking and dancing have motivated me to do cardio as well.
