I also step up on every curb as I walk, increasing the work out. in other words I step into the gutter and then step up on the sidewalk curb.

that is part of the work out that allwed me to be in shape to walk in the woods...



Great idea! cheerleader

My dad used to walk 3 miles per day on grass, because it strengthened his ankles more than on flat sidewalk.

Last night, walked ~ 30 minutes pacing the halls with a colleague. A late night break. New rule this year has been, if i'm gonna talk to someone, it might as well be while we're walking.


Awesome idea Sue! cheerleader

I've been using that to distract my HOA people from complaining to me as well. I say, "let's go for a walk" at the park and discuss, give me a call. And they NEVER do!

I walked 2 miles today in my new barefoot shoes, and only stopped once to eat tacos.
