For me being in a mall for two hours is called torture. 🤭

akindheart · 61-69, F

yes. anytime you are off your couch, that is exercise

CestManan · 46-50, F

Absolutely. And if you would like to go for a healthy run, just steal something from one of the stores.

Yes.
When it rains , that’s the place I go to.

I usually do 45mins to 60 mins.

I consider walking a mile to be a good walk for health, two miles if it's a slow walk.

Oh yes those steps add up really well. Better than being at home and sitting around all day. I get out to several stores in a day sometimes mostly just to get exercise and browse around.

absolutely. People do that in Minnesota at the Mall of America...to get exercise because its too cold and snowy to be outside.

Those particular walks are actually a state of mind. you take time for your self and put your mind off for a while.

Fitbit counts steps as steps. That's all I'm saying.

No, you need to get your heart rate up and keep it there for 20 minutes for any signifcant exercise.

Better than nothing. But you need to walk quickly between windows.

Chickie · F

Some people exercise walking or jogging outside of the mall

Elanor · F
