Current Events > Is there a down side to walking 4 miles a day?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I think I want to do that as part of my workout plan. Would that have any drawbacks?

The other thing I am doing is a 100 push up and squats (j/k)

I'm a doctor. The answer is no. Go walk.

Yes, you have to walk 4 miles.

your feet will hurt

Run it instead.

If you live in a cold state, there's a lot of downside atm.

Feet hurt

Probably not unless you have just horrible shoes/sneakers.

I walk a hell of a lot farther than that, and the biggest downside, other than the occasional shim splints and sore foot muscles are black toenails and gnarly callouses on your feet.

as long as you don't walk 500 miles just to walk 500 more

You're gonna find or become a corpse.

Funny thing, well, maybe not funny, I came close to finding a corpse once.

Your shoes won't last as long as usual.

this. back when i was more active playing pokemon go before the pandemic i could easily go 4 miles (this was combined time with the pokemon go run and the dog walk that came after).

played it for 3 hours a day in the early morning. got exercise and an activity.

it would take you like 450+ days to walk from florida to california

4 miles a day isn't that much assuming it's spread evenly throughout the day and not done all at once.

No downside except the time

Thanks guys . I have had a chance in work time. So I get off early (go in sooner boo). But now I will have more time to work out. I think this would be a good why to help make by weight lost goals. I also have a heavy bag that I would be working with. I can walk in the afternoon when I get done with work. Sleep eat chat, and then do a fast heavy bag workout at night.
