One of my goals for this year was to walk 45 minutes a day. Almost immediately I dropped into a pattern of walking for an hour or more most days.
I walk outside if the weather is pleasant. One disadvantage of living on this hill, is most of the time walking outside involves driving someplace, or taking the subway to someplace, to walk. The steep hill, is too steep.
If the weather is unpleasant, I walk on the treadmill in the gym just across the drive from the building we live in. I take my IPad, with WiFi I am able to watch Youtube videos while I walk, 60 minutes, at 5% of more incline, between 2.2 and 2.4 miles per hour.
When we are out of town, I still try to walk everyday. I like walking airports, city streets, and well maintained trails. In Chicago we explored the tunnels that connect a bunch of buildings below street level. There is a blogger who may well recognise the tunnel above, it connects a parking garage to a major medical center.
Walking clears my mind, keeps my body moving, burns 500-600 calories an hour. It gets me fresh air, and often sunshine. It is me time.
I walk at my own pace, stop randomly, and don't keep track of those around me. I may not be the best person to walk with. If you are too fast, I will get frustrated, if you are slow I will walk away leaving you behind. Sweet Bear has a long running collection of photos of me walking away.
Walking is good for me.
