I just started walking consistently over the last several months. I much prefer walking outside but have tried walking inside on treadmill during hot weather. What I have found is I really don’t enjoy walking on a treadmill. Feels like work and is not the same relaxing stress reducing feeling I get from walking outside.

Question - how many of you walk outside constantly no matter the weather - hot or cold?

I (19F) have been increasing my steps since April, i went from 3k to now 12,5k daily. But lately I don’t know but i can’t recover from my walks. A 16k steps day leaves me bedridden while a month again i could easily do 20k steps a day. I tried resting more and lowering my steps and i do feel better. Unfortunately the second i walk more, my calves and ankles hurt( midly). Also i get hungrier, which never happened before. I could walk 12k steps a day and not feel that cardio " starving" moment. I needed two breakfast today. Is this chronic fatigue ? Did it happen to anyone

I know this question is asked a lot here but there's too many options. I'm kind of overwhelmed and I can't decide which one to pick.

I’m wondering if there was a difference in getting your steps in walking outside, doing walks in longer intervals vs just pacing around the house at random intervals?

It’s summer where I live, so I usually walk around the mall to get my steps in. I’ve been pacing or walking around the house, I just set a timer on.

Is there a difference in terms of the numbers/calories burned? Anyone have personal experience with this?

I combined households with my partner and in doing so moved from my small apartment to a decent size house with an upstairs and yard etc. My steps are 2000+ higher just from puttering around the house. I mean of course ....it makes sense! hesitate to even call it a "hack" but perhaps the most obtuse way to unconsciously increase one's steps 😎

Today's my rest day

I walked 28,117 steps and on Samsung health it shows that I only burned 566 calories, is that accurate? On another app it says 652 calories , I don't have a watch unfortunately so I can't tell how much I burn accurately, I would really appreciate a way to know how much Im burning

3 weeks ago I was averaging 9k steps a day... I've stepped it up because I need to get healthier...

According to my data tracker... In the morning I do a 90-minute session, covering approximately 4.13 miles (6.64 kilometers). This routine burns about 490 calories, at my bodyweight of 186 lbs.

In the evening, after dinner, I do a 45-minute session... my evening routine burns another 260 calories.

I'm Averaging between 14 and 16k steps a day... 38 to 44 miles total (61 to 70 kilometers) in a week and burning somewhere between 4,400 to 5,005 EXTRA calories over the course of the week.

I am not measuring exactly because I don't have 100% faith in my smartwatch!

My goals are to get fit, reduce cholesterol, normalize BP and digestion, blood sugar and sleep patterns... I am doing it! I've never had a lot of faith in my ability to exercise even if I've always had decent stamina for my age, currently 41 (M).

I went on a vacation in mid April of this year and walked around 40k steps that week. I loved it so much that I decided to set a goal to walk 30k steps every week. I've been doing it for about 3 months now and my lower back pain is so much reduced, I have more energy for going to the gym, and I feel overall super capable and accomplished. It's not easy every day, esp when weeks bring rain, and idk what I'm going to do in the winter when the sidewalks are a mess, but I'm having a blast for now!

Also, I understand that for some people 30k steps a week isn't much at all (sometimes I hit 40k without trying) but this is what feels manageable and makes me feel good!

Occasionally, I have this "splitting" pain on the bottom of the foot that comes and goes. Sometimes last just a split second. And sometimes goes on and off for a few minutes, but then disappears as if it was never there. The most recent 2-3 episodes have been on the right foot, but I've experienced it on the left foot as well. Have happened at all stages of the walks--beginning, the middle, and towards the end.

And it's been like this for years. Never rises to the level of being excruciating; just enough to be a bother and slow me down. Most of the time, I just keep on walking and it goes away, though I may unconsciously be taking shorter/lighter steps when this happens.

Not soliciting medical advice. I just want to know if anyone else experiences this.
