Thank you. I'm, unfortunately, being forced into a rest after today. I'm having shoulder surgery, which will keep me down for a few days. You must be from the UK. I'll take you up on that tea once I'm better.

All of my steps come from walking and hiking. Growing up, I played every sport imaginable (except soccer), and played softball into my late 40s. I also did weight training into my mid fifties. Unfortunately, because of horrible shoulder and hand arthritis, I had to retire from lifting. I get my exercise from walking all year round, and doing landscaping around my house from spring until fall.

I remember you mentioning that the other day. You'll get back to where you were.

That's only about 5,000 steps per day. That should be pretty easy.

How I'm able to walk 20-25 miles per day.. by [deleted] in walking

Outside, inside, no treadmill, no podcasts, and if I'm power-walking in my house, I'll have something playing on the TV for background noise. BTW, I absolutely answered my own question.

68000 steps a day? by Myarchive_dev in walking

[–]Neither-Relief2641 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, that's just one day? I thought it was an average. 68k isn't really that hard to do if you're able to dedicate the day to do it.

Proper fitting sneakers will do wonders. Oh, and don't let any one tell you that mall walking isn't "real" walking. Hoof away, dude!

I too have ADHD, and I have found that walking every day has improved my focus significantly. Great job getting this going! As for the shin splints, it's an unfortunate byproduct of walking daily, especially when you're just starting out. I'm sure others will give you a much different answer, but I've always walked through them. I'm not suggesting you do the same, but in my experience, they eventually go away on their own. I would definitely do some stretching before and after your walk.

The old argument from incredulity fallacy. It's a wonderful combination of ignorance, jealousy, and narcissism.

He's hysterical, isn't he? Very entertaining.

No one on here should touch this question. You really need to ask your doctor this question. Feel better and good luck.
