When I go to large stores I park as far away from the door as I can and often walk around the building fefore going in then walking up and down every isle.
Happy walking & don’t forget to to take a chocolatechip cookie along.

I'm afraid it's not exactly walking - I have been spending anywhere from 3-8 hours working in the yard and garden. I have averaged 4 - 5 miles a day without leaving my yard. Today I. got crazy and dipped my toe into the garage, which hasn't been thoroughly cleaned since our daughter's wedding here 7 years ago. I filled the big trash can, moved rarely used tools to a shed, cleared one shelf [and figured out there are 27 more to do!) and cleaned the floor.
Then I was rewarded with a gathering of gardening friends, homemade pizza and wine - the first in over a year and a half.

Hi,
I see less walkers out in my neck of the woods here in hot steamy Florida. I have been getting up around 5:30 to head out the door before 6 for my 2.5 mile walk. Some days it’s just too much humidity
to deal with and I turn back earlier. It’s exhausting.

I bought a Galaxy Watch Active which I love so far. My goal is 10,000 daily steps. It’s easier to get to that with a morning walk especially on gym class day but I find often my self walking in circles around the house to get my golden sneaker award for that day. The watch is a great motivator and I have 2 hour reminders on it to get moving.
@jakedduck1 I usually park farther away from stores also. It’s great that all the people here have walking on their mind even if you aren’t able to get much in on a particular day.

Here in Florida we have to watch for pop up storms..hurricane and rainy season here now. Last week I wound up walking back in a drizzly rain…gotta look to the skies!

Even if you can’t walk on a particular day any sort of activity or movement throughout the day is beneficial….get up and stretch. If I don’t stretch throughout the day I feel like a dried up rubber band.

FL Mary where we do humidity real well.
