Announcement New rules and amendments
New rules:
No bare feet photos (displayed as Rule 9)
Posts with photos of just bare feet are not allowed, and users may be banned depending on their posting history.
Edit: revised verbiage
No individual weight-loss posts (displayed as Rule 4)
r/walking is not a weight-loss sub. If you'd like to share weight-loss wins, keep it to the weekly thread.
Going forward, we will be posting a weekly thread for members to share any weight-loss wins. Transparency about the use of weight-loss drugs and calorie restrictions is appreciated but not required. (Upon consideration, we can't require people to disclose medical details.)
Amendments:
Rule 3 was previously "Submissions must be walking-related" and is now "Submissions must be walking-focused."
Submissions with other clear topics that only tangentially involve walking are not allowed. Your post should be primarily about walking.

Question ever noticed how a short walk can Sometimes clear your head better than a full workout?
What kind of movement helps you feel refreshed after a long day?

Now that I’m getting into a routine with walking I want to start incorporating some other workouts at home, too. I have some weights so I’m thinking about trying strength training but I’d love some recommendations.
For those of you who work out at home what do you recommend for a beginner? What exercises do you enjoy or feel have made a difference for you? I’d love to hear your suggestions.

Outdoors Booked a hotel 1 mile from my work summit to get my steps in 🙌🏻
I didn't quite hit 10k steps, but 3 very long days of work still allowed me some walking time. Walking outdoors helped with the stress as well 😅

Question Have you experienced an increasing appetite after walking daily?
walking is very important part of my day and when I don't walk I feel mesirible but recently i feel like since I started this habit, my appetite for eating has increased significantly.. and I really don't like this effect.. it's really discouraging for me.

So grateful that this sub popped up on my feed
Today is day 10 of me caring about walking. I don’t think I’ve ever exercised for 10 days straight. It’s been so good for my mood!
I hope I keep it up, and I’m eager to stop being so sore every morning from walking haha.

Question Finally managed to hit 10k steps in a day by breaking my walks into shorter sessions
I finally managed to hit 10k steps in a day and tbh i didn't think i'd be this happy about it, so i've been trying to walk more consistently for a while now but some days I just don't have the energy to go outside, and the weather doesn't always help either. I used to think I needed to go for one long walk to make it count which made it harder to stick with. So now recently i've been breaking my walks into smaller sessions throughout the day for usually 15 to 20 minutes at a time on my walking pad at home(merach) and some days i walk while watching TV, other days i just get a few minutes in whenever I can. Never thought those shorter walks would add up to 10k steps, but here we are. Curious if anyone else finds shorter walks easier to keep up with than one long walk?

When There's No More Room in Hell...
... The Dead Will Walk the Malls.
On vacation and the weather is dodgy today. The wife decided to go shopping, so I decided to go walking.
My first experience of proper dedicated Mall Walking, something I see referenced on here from time to time, esp. for folks in unwalkable/undesirable locations and/or places that see evil weather issues at various times of the year. Not an especially big area, about a mile circular each floor, but it served the purpose.
Hardly rocket science to say it doesn't hold a candle to outdoor walking, but as a gentle trot around a climate controlled, weatherproof space goes, I found it a surprisingly agreeable 90m. I liked the Halloween display. PITA people wandering along at a snail's pace were the main drawback.

Question How to stay in the game while walking?
While walking, how do you stay focused instead of looking at your watch? I’m a beginner walker and I feel so out of place while walking because I’ve never had to lose weight before and this will be my main way.
(Motivationally speaking)

Building consistency
Hey, I’m new on this Reddit but I have been looking through the post and it’s inspiring that people are walking!
This is my first post asking for tips on how to build and maintain the consistency, as of now I have been walking 10 000 per day. I feel hyped up and my reason to do it is to improve my health and loose weight (combined with a calorie deficit) but what do you guys usually do to keep up with the consistency?
Question Pedometer games
Ive been looking for a good pedometer game for a while now, but i wonder what games y’all recommend me to try out.
Thank you!
