[quote=Anonymous]I agree with this, though I don't think walking alone is a great way to lose a lot of weight or to totally shift your fitness. But I think it's great for maintaining a healthy weight and I also think it's a good way to just keep your body in a healthy place. If walking is part of your daily routine, it's hard to let anything go too much because you will notice issues immediately. I walk about 5 miles a day between school drop off and pick up, my commute, and usually running one or two errands. I've had a variety of health issues in the last 5 years since turning 40, including a lower back issue and some foot problems. Being a walker meant I had to address those things quickly and was heavily invested in ensuring I could continue to walk. Driving/parking where I live is a huge hassle, so I really didn't want to permanently switch to driving.

Knowing you can walk 4-5 miles without pain (assuming good walking shoes and no extenuating circumstances) is a good way to check in on your overall health and know nothing is getting too neglected.[/quote]
