Who likes long walks?

That is a true sign of lazines, however... if the health of this person was in a very bad shape, then it might not be the case. (I assume this is not the case here)

She was considerably overweight, but whether this was due to having already become inactive because of another health problem, or due to being lazy in the first place, I don't know!

Especially in fall and summer this is one of my favorite ways to relax especially when my dog is with me. He's a big active guy so he's happy to accompany for 2-3 hours at a time.

of short piers, not at all.

Love long walks alone in the forest.

I walk at least an hour everyday. On weekends I try to bump it up to to 2-3 hours. There is no need to make any special effort to get to a nature preserve. Living in Singapore, I start from where I live and just walk. I do agree that the time spent walking is never wasted and everyone who walks benefits. But for Aspies, long walks can be a form of an extended stim. The repetitive motion, energy burns, and the pleasant reward of a good night's sleep might very well be the only proven therapy for autism. Walking does not just unclog the mind, it can also untangle the cross wires and lay to rest the meaningless thoughts that are pinging to infinity.

I so agree and it truly helps me when get the time. A freedom to express my inner thoughts alone and not feel a need to overload on irrelevant things... but for me this has to mean walking alone and free to just be and do, maybe it also helps release me from the restraints of life at times...

I like to walk... Alone. The problem in town are the people on the street, it's tiring to cross them, to know there are behind you, beside you... And all the noises... I'm often feeling like in an hurricane's eye, trying to forget them... Don't really know if they can see it but I feel walking like some kind of robot...

It's better in the middle of the night, you just meet sometimes strange people. People I hang out with never could understand that I loved to walk like 45 minutes or 1 and 1/2 hour late at night to go home !

I like hiking, I like forrest and moutains (then not absolutely alone... but with someone who just don't need to speak !) but didn't do it since a few years...

The noise of traffic puts my stomach in knots. So even though I often walk places in town when I'm restless and hate waiting for the bus, I take the bus to the edge of the city and walk into the woods when I need to relax.

Today I was brushing out a trail on the lower slopes of a mountain, lopping off shrubs and branches encroaching onto the trail and tossing them as far off the trail as I could. I cleared out my first invasive species today, too - a few very small holly bushes that I cut up and carried out (they need to be removed completely, roots and all, or they grow back). Very nice, except for the fresh layer of snow. Melt, already!

I used to enjoy going on long walks when I was your age (10ish years ago) I really enjoyed long walks. Back then I didn't have a car so I hadn't gotten so lazy yet. I had either a Walkman or a Discman (didn't know what an mp3 was back then, if they even existed). I could literally walk for hours if left undisturbed. There was a low-functioning autistic man who lived down the street from me, and he would out his Walkman on and go REALLY far. I didn't want to walk in certain areas but he seemed fearless. He would walk probably 15 miles or so, from his house to basically all the way around that side of town.

I like long all day hikes in countryside, 20-25km but I have flatfoot so I am preferring bicycle.

I like walking and sometimes talking. I love just telling my mom I am going for a walk and wander around with no place to go. Sometimes I end up chilling at the fire hall sometimes not. Other times I ride my bike slowly to feel the wind and look at nature.

Last time I went for a walk I went into the mountains that surround my city, I was only going to go up there for a couple of hours but ended up walking for about 15 hours. My mum called the police and said I was a missing person.

I like walking around the mall. Back when I worked at the biggest mall in the state, I would always arrive a little bit early before all the stores opened so I'd have free reign of the mall without shoppers getting in the way. It was really nice.

I also like walking around downtown, especially along the canal. It's really pretty.

I hate walking in cities, yuck, the air quality on the side of the road is dishusting, too many exhuast fumes.

I never really thought about it. But it seems really clean. Plus it's actually very quiet on weekends. There's always a lot of people around, but there's hardly any background noise.
