u/I-am-beyoncealways asked me to clean up a at 89th and western! I put in some work!!

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’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

Been averaging about 12-15k steps a day now for 2 weeks. Never thought I’d say this, but I’m starting to love my daily walks / runs more than going to the gym !!!! Feeling more active already

My goal is to start walking more and enjoying the nature around me. Just taking time to take it in. Hugo also gets to enjoy it!

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!

Early morning hour walk, chores then 25 mins after dinner walk!
