When the weather permits we would rather walk outdoors. The only mall walking we do is for shopping! And I hate mall shopping!

I have never mall walked for exercise.....malls are 30 miles away.

I enjoy walking outside, weather permitting.

The outside is the best, but if you live in a cold weather state and the temperature is being absolutely awful, specially this season, then the mall it will be the best place to go

I much prefer walking outside, but I also have a dog that I need to walk.  :dog:  Nothing beats walking outside on a sunny morning in Texas!

I prefer walking outside and I do that in the spring, summer, and fall.  In the winter, I go to the gym....occasionally.
I tried mall walking once, but I kept stopping in the stores to shop, and that doesn't contribute to the benefits of walking.

walking outdoors!
close to where i live there is a park and it is absolutely lovely. it was originally a mansion owned by an architect and he has  a lotttt of land. his driveway was super long so people walk, run and bike there. there's also lots of grass for sports and woods for hiking/exploring. they used to hold christmas lights there (you'd drive through thousands of lights) and still have concerts and things like polo matches there.
without a doubt my favorite place

While walking outdoors is always much more fun, sometimes the environment can make it near impossible especially if you are "sensitive" to allergens in the air.  On the other hand, walking indoors, like in a gym on a treadmill, can be a better environment sometimes.

I love walking. I could be anywhere, around the block, at a mall, or anything else I love it all.

Neither. If I am walking outside, I am heading to a store and I don't visit malls just to walk around.

Both.  Walking in nice sunny fresh air weather outdoors is great and mall walking when the weather isn't good outside.

I prefer to go walking outdoors around the neighborhood, the park, and anywhere else. I don't go walking at the mall because it is not a good place to go for a walk, it is too noisy, and it be too crowded

 :-\I don't live by a mall.  That does sound relaxing and comfortable being inside from the cold weather.  I hadn't thought about doing that.  I walk to work every morning.  Love it in the spring time when the morning weather is just so beautiful.  Ok really I would rather be doing my own thing like gardening and watching the sunrise with a cup of coffee at that time of year.

I prefer to walk outside, but if the weather won't permit that...I use a treadmill. malls are 45 mins away from my house.

I love to be outside more than anything....so I like to walk outside.  I live in Southern Oregon and I moved here because of all the outdoor activities and the mild four seasons.  I love to hike and garden and just breathe outdoor fresh air.  Have a wonderful weekend everyone.  Enjoy.

I like to walk outside weather permitting.  Otherwise I put my exercise DVD and get my mile in that way.  My cardiologist said to walk at least a mile a day.

I try to walk and/or walk a little faster than normal for exercise about two or three times a week. It's relaxing, reduces stress and good for overall health.

there is a web site from a large pharmacy chain that gives you points when you log in how much you walk so i try to walk everyday i find if i include the walking i do while shopping and chores i easily walk over a mile a day

I normally walk outside instead cause then I can take my dog with me and we can both get some exercise in.  I just need to convince her to walk with me instead of trying to pull me cause then we'd probably walk more.  My walks with her tend to be stressful so they aren't as often as they should be but I'm hoping to put an end to that when it starts warming up.

Walking out doors beats mall walking. Don't like to rebreath the air, but, on some days it is just too darn cold outside to do any exercise.  Then, it is great to have an indoor area to get the peds in.

I prefer walk outside though here is too cold and snow too much!! I can't wait for weather to change, so I can go out for walking again.

I walk in a mall to shop, but I don't like walking there per se as shopping makes me anxious and depending the place, it's crowded. I like walking outdoors generally. The only beef I have depending on the place of interest is smoking.

I love to walk so I would go for either one but in good weather i would prefer to be outside. Winter ice, cold and snow make the mall look pretty good.

I like walking outside as well, but some areas aren't that safe, so I prefer to walk around the mall early in the morning.

I'm the one that walks the dogs in the morning (unless it's really cold out.)  It's a bit of a chore to get them into their harnesses but 20 minutes is good to get some exercise in.

Wish the weather would cooperate, that way I could walk outside.

I walk all day at walmart putting up returns,  I give out easy, but I have a break everyone 2 hours.  That helps some but I wish I did not have to work at all but SS does not pay all my bills.  Hope everyone has a wonderful day and may God bless each of you and keep you safe.

I have never never participated in the mall walking circuit!  I have never been one to get in my car and have to go somewhere to exercise.  I absolutely love walking ourdoors, preferably in a wooded area, but the neighborhood streets are fine, too.  I love observing nature and you get a lot of that on a walk in my area.  I was having such a good time walking outdoors last fall, until my allergies set in.  What a bummer!  Then I had to switch to the treadmill.  That's like comparing apples and oranges, (rotten) oranges!
