How long do you walk for to get a good exercise?

[Takes Two To Tango]

And I'm talking about a brisk walk without stopping, not a leisure walk.

Reason I'm asking, I've been doing an hour walk non stop and I get a pretty good workout from them.

My goal is to get to 2 hours.

Also, I prefer walking because I don't want to fuck up my knees.

Couch ............. to mail box ............. to couch again. Repeated once daily.

Jog 20 minutes to an hour. Sometimes I do light YouTube cardio for 30 minutes.

3-5 Miles in the good old Texas Heat

I'm addicted to filling in my exercise watch goals, what ever that takes. I tend to go in spirts with walking exercise. 15 minutes and then let thing rest and heal.

Walking does shit for me. I can walk all day and barely feel it.

@Takes Two To Tango if you really must walk:

 

[Pittie Petey]

I walk my sweet Roxie Sox about an hour every morning and another 45 minutes every night

She loves it and so do I

I get my 10,000 steps in and she makes friends all throughout the neighborhood, everyone loves her cause she's so happy and playful

Win win

There's health benefits at any duration. But more is generally better. I like to walk at least an HR a day. Though for practical purposes, its usually broken up into segments.

I love walking. I try to get to 100k steps a week, and at least 10k a day. If I have a conference call at work where I don't have to lead I would sometimes take it while walking.

Whenever I go travel abroad I stack up steps like crazy because it's a lot more fun to walk in European cities and check out the people/sights than walk in my neighborhood. Recently I was in Italy and I averaged over 30k steps a day in Rome

Unfortunately I cant walk long because of a current back injury but I do my best to try to get to 30 mins.

 

[Frode Falch]

Good exercise from just walking?

2-3 hours of power walking i guess

Is it just a timed goal, or is there something more in-depth you're looking for?

I don't walk, but if I'm doing a job/light run, I need it to be 4+ miles. Anywhere from 1-2 miles is just a warmup for me before lifting, and that's at about an 8 min mile pace.

I hike. We have a 700 mile trail that zig zags though the state. The trail highlights terrain that was carved out by ice age glaciers 10,000 years ago. Lots of fun but challenging. Fantastic views everywhere but you have to make the climbs first.

right now I get like +10 k steps daily. I smoke single cigs of the kiosk, tryna stop the habbit. So each time I wanna smoke I gotta walk outside to grab 2 cigs, walk to a bench to smoke and observe. Plus I´m European we love to walk, especially balkans. Not walking sounds bizzare, like do you just sit around and drive all day all week. I also go to the gym, cause hobbies. I would get bored not moving.

 

[Spounman]

Me? These days a half hour but I usually end up doing it 2-3 times daily. Morning, shorter during mid day, then again in the evening. Back in my hardcore days I'd go for a 4-5 mile run every week either Saturday or Sunday then do the treadmill and play basketball the other days.

 

[Sweater of AV]

I enjoy walking but I've never walked strictly for exercise.

I run ~25-30 miles/week these days. I would just end up running if I started out walking with exercise being the goal.

I actually prefer walking over biking.
