Do you prefer to walk or run for exercise?   :wave:

Of the two choices...I'd rather walk.
I'm "training" for a 5k though next month, and so I've been running.
It's just too harsh on my knee when I run, so I don't enjoy it.

I walk a few miles most every day.  Once upon a time I was a runner. But the old knees suffered a lot.

walking - for sure.
running is for the really young who don't have the subtle hints of old injuries creeping up when they are running

I love to just take walks and admire the beauty around me. If I tried running, I'd probably fall and break something!!

Both.  Walk to see the outdoor views and run to burn calories faster.

I jog a little, then walk a little, then jog a little, the walk a little. I keep this up for 2 1/2 miles every other day and it keeps me in really good shape. I don't go if it is raining or snowing, but do go even if it's really hot or really cold, so it ends up being at least 3 times a week which is enough to keep pretty fit.

I go to a gym and walk every other day and do the weights the others.  When I walk I use the elliptical and the treadmill.  I like to break it up and listen and watch tv at the same time.  My 30 min. usually fly by. :wave:

      Walk and walk. We have very good sidewalks to walk in the city where I live.

I prefer to ride the bike and do the stair master. If I had to pick one though I would say walk because I walk my dog often.

Walking, even though I know that running is better for me. Walking is of course easier!

We like to walk, it seems to be a little better on the body. Not as much bouncing around on the knees and such.
