Walking for Life!

[Mitch86]

I walk 2,000 steps in the morning and another 2,000 steps in the late afternoon. I use my Samsung phone and watches to track my walking, Oxygen levels when sleeping and sleep time and phases every day. I am 88 years old and never got cancer or heart disease. I also read the Bible using Logos every day. The verse for today in "Morning and Evening" is "16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on him. 17 And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.” Extensive commentary is shown each day. I suggest every believer in Jesus should buy Logos Software.

@Mitch86 Keep on walking and keep on reading your Bible and believing. Amen

I am a huge advocate for healthy living and fitness and there is no better way than walking, especially for the elderly. Swimming is also another fantastic healthy activity as well if you have access to a pool.

Keep up the wonderful work.

Wonderful, @Mitch86 ... you go! I really need to start walking more... maybe it will be easier in the spring and summer. Certainly not tonight or tomorrow morning because we're in the middle of an ice storm.

I only walk outside if there is good weather with the outside temperature above 60 degrees and no very cold temperature nor rain nor snow. Then I do the same walking in my house around the main floor with my Amazon Echo Shows playing Christian Music. This is a sample:

You're never too old to be a slave to technology or believe in fairy tales. However, I do agree that walking is good for you, especially if you have pleasant surroundings.

By the way, I ONLY do my walking inside my house. There are no sidewalks on my block so I'd have to walk outside in the street. Due to my age of 88 I'd be worried that either a driver or me would make an error and I'd be badly injured or killed.

I have a treadmill that I use for walking. There are no sidewalks here and terrain is very rough and hilly. I don 't even walk my dog any more. Maybe I should each her to use the treadmill.

I walk everyday and it’s good for me and my Maltese.,

It is 2 to 3 miles/day - no excuses as my house mate (dog) insists on his daily walks!! The dog is a border collie -an energetic dog that requires lots of exercise.

Some days I may not be inspired to walk. Once I’m out, I feel so much better.

I'm a life long walker since I never felt comfortable behind the wheel
I take a early morning walk every day{weather permitting in winter its dicey at times} try to do another walk 2-3 times/day
When I was working, I would walk to my job at local hospital,3 days/ wk which was 8 blocks from my apt building
Its the best exercise, I rather be outside in fresh air than being inside at a gym
