Are there any walkers out here??
Walking is the best free way I have found to stay in shape. What I find motivating is to train for a local charity walk. It can be a short as a 5k, or as long as the Breast Cancer 3 Day.
It helps me to do this because it gives me a reason, other than myself to walk. It also gives me a tangible goal.

I went for a walk last night with the kids and it was a great feeling..since the weather is beautiful I may have to do that everynight! Hey maybe 1 day I will be walking those 5k's!

I'm a walker on my treadmill right now. I also like to mix it up by jacking up the incline every now and then to mix things up.

I am a outdoor walker for the most part there is more to see that way. Although I do get wet at times in the bad weather. Targes are also good for me, I incrice it every week a bit.

I like to walk...if not around where I live I will go to a school track up the street.

Walking is my cardio. I stay at a steady pace sometime on an incline for more of a challenge. I never enjoyed running like some people, but hey more power to them. Walking is good for fat burn because it keeps your heart rate at a fat burning rate.

HI! I love to walk also. I walk every morning for about 1hr & 1/2. I don't walk in the typical places though. I walk in the cemetary. Weird? see a little over a yr. ago my mom passed away and she is buried in my local cemetary, which is quite big. So every morning I go to her resting spot and like to think I take her with me, and I walk up and down the whole cemetary. It is a great walk! it is quiet and I get a great up hill walk too. Plus I like to think that it is spending time with my mom.
