I read somewhere that walking is very beneficial for our health.
so how often do you walk or run?
how many minutes or hours do you spend in walking or running?

Even when I'm not out in a park, I try to walk for about an hour at least a couple times a week.

We walk up to a street near our home that's about half an hour away, do shopping or whatever and walk back. It's a nice way to keep in touch with the neighborhood.

And there's a park just a few minutes away with a trail that goes around a pond, which is a nice change of scenery every now and then.

I try to get a walk in everyday.  In the months with daylight savings, it is pretty easy.  In the non daylight savings months, it gets a little harder.  I like camping in areas that provide some type of interesting hike, which most state parks have at least some minimal hiking trail.  On the weekends, which is not my favorite time to camp, if I am at a State Park or some other type of campground, I enjoy walking around seeing how other folks camp.

Was not sure if you were asking about it while camping or in general.  So I normally walk during my lunch break at work.  I get an hour for lunch and being a former Marine we tend to eat fast sometimes.  so I have normally at least 30-45 min to walk.  If it is not hot I walk almost a mile.  If it is hot then I take the short route and maybe 1/4mile at the most.  But the way I look at is something is better then nothing.  Still not at the 190 I was when I got out but I have lost 10lbs.  I also try and remind myself that muscle weighs more then fat.  Cool

At lunch at work I will take a few laps around the parking garage.  It seems to stay a little cooler in there in the summer.  The upper level is not really used much, so I normally face no traffic.  I work in an 8 story building and I try to climb the stairs once a day for a break.
