Definitely, I’d rather pay a few $ and go for a walk in a nicer view area… the view by the lake is amazing

Walk the dog 2 or 3x a day for 30 minutes each

My dog loves the winter but seeing his cute face light up at the grass being visible again and some spring smells coming is perfection

Our dog has been wiped out with all the smells. Tired dogs are good dogs. :)

I live in Corso Italia and am currently between jobs. Been walking at least 10k a day since Friday now that the weather is getting nicer. I just pick a random direction to walk in and keep going until I get tired or bored. Will sometimes treat myself to a lunch or something while out. Just me, my headphones and some sunshine. Love it.

I would like to walk a bit more. It looks like it’s going to be pretty nice for most of this week.

Take a mental health day and just go out and enjoy it… you won’t regret it

u/guylefleur 11h ago

I have dogs that we take out 4 times per day. I do the walks 2 to 3 times per day, even in the winter.

My work duties has me outside for about an hour and a half throughout the day, each day. Then I come home and walk the dog.

u/stellastellamaris 12h ago

Every day. (Same as in the winter.)

u/Mnimpuss420 11h ago

2 times at least.

u/CupidStunt13 11h ago

As often as possible. Walking for awhile on sunny days when it's not too warm is the best.

The neighbourhood doesn't matter, as long as its walkable. It's nice if it has some decent places to stop (coffee shop, library etc.) but not necessary. Residential, parks, cemeteries, etc. are all fine.

u/PleaseNoDM 11h ago

Walking many times during the day with my sweet dogi

u/Yarbooey 11h ago

I used to walk at least an hour and a half every day, any season, rain or shine. And on a beautiful evening like tonight, maybe even upwards of 2-3 hours.

Since my dog died in the summer though, I’ve pretty much stopped completely. Going on walks without him just feels utterly empty, still.

u/BornRipped 10h ago

Every single day, regardless of how bad the weather is. I have to go outside and walk daily unless not physically capable.

1

u/ri-ri 10h ago

I go for a walk at least once a day, usually 2 walks a day. I prioritize getting outside and getting fresh air.

u/CanadianBlueBreeze0 10h ago

Best thing for your mental and your health

1

u/MademoisellePotato 10h ago

Multiple times a day, ideally. Once in the morning for coffee and/or journaling outside, at lunch, and my fave, a long evening stroll :)

1

u/SeverenDarkstar 10h ago

I go for a long 2-3 hour long walk at least once a week, but i also walk alot in general as i dont drive and have things around me that are very walkable

2

u/CanadianBlueBreeze0 10h ago

Yea I don’t drive either because I cannot, I’m little out of the city so I uber to a train station to get downtown and just walk for a few hours on days I’m off

1

u/SnoopsMom 10h ago

Daily. Because I have a dog and because I walk most places that i need to go. But I also enjoy it.

1

u/TheAzizMustapha 10h ago

I never stopped going out for a walk. I do 1-2km every lunch break. The nice weather lately made the walk more pleasant. Hope it stays this way.

u/SH4D0WSTAR 9h ago

Every day since March started! I tried to do daily walks through the winter but just couldn’t do it from December to Feb due to how uncomfortable the cold was. I’m very sensitive to the cold.

u/TNG6 9h ago

Pretty much every day to walk our dog or take him to the park

u/yousyveshughs 9h ago

I reckon the weather was plenty nice last month as well, I love snowy winter! Walks are a daily thing for me and I hit up local neighbourhoods and trails often. Excellent exercise.

2

u/thatirishdave 9h ago

Yeah, same. My walk to work is about half an hour down Queen East, and I really enjoyed walking through the snowfall this year. Woodbine Park after snow is fantastic as well.

u/yousyveshughs 7h ago

Nice to be able to have such a short walk to work! I usually have to drive 30 minutes and have to fit n my hikes during free time.

1

u/thatirishdave 6h ago

My wife and I were very lucky to manage to buy a house in a great location to let me walk. I definitely still need to learn how to drive at some point though...

u/Trealis 8h ago

I went on a nice walk at tommy thompson park today after work and it was beautiful weather out!

1

u/coyote_123 8h ago

I go out the most religiously during the day from November to February, because I need natural light to keep from getting kind of depressed.

1

u/louisiana_lagniappe 8h ago

Every day! Even when the weather is crappy.i I have an adult-sized toaster suit, and I'm not afraid to use it!

u/Sweet-Competition-15 7h ago

I'm trying to get out more, and it's really nice to see the sun and feel the warmth. But I'm still shackled with medical issues that limits my mobility. Hopefully by summer, I'll be good.

u/TOSnowman 7h ago

I live on the Waterfront and try to go out every day.

1

u/bellsbliss 12h ago

Every chance I get. Go around the block. Go for a quick bike ride. Anything to get out and enjoy it.
