CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Plenty! Improved lung function for asthmatics, improved mood, more energy, helps against loneliness and depression, and may give a better ability to stay and fall asleep. Love walking. Best exercise ever.

I don’t like to walk as I danced for a long time and have problems walking flat footed for a long distances . I’m a Silver Swan-a dancer over 50. Any exercise is good for you , it improves your mood, lowers blood pressure , gives you more stamina and with dance or yoga more flexibility

I have been walking as part of my job for 20 years. Back in April 2018 I downloaded an app called Map My Walk which does just that. I quickly came to enjoy longer and longer walks. Four miles then Six then Eight and one night I walked Ten. I went on vacation in Massachusetts last August and did 36 miles just on my exercise walks including a 9 miler. I started taking the mapped walk from my phone and transferring them to a screen cap of Google Maps and satellites.
Here's my walks around Dallas and Plano, Texas.
And here's my vacation walks around Amesbury, Salisbury and Newburyport, Massachusetts.

Walking is great.
You can also do podcast walks, if youre in a safe place. I've listened through entire college course lecture sets, and all kind of other interesting things, as I walk the dirt roads around here.
You can do meditation walks, with Christian content if thats important to you.
Or just walk....

My feet and knees don’t like it. If I walk for more than a few blocks I have to get on demipointe and that looks funny to see an slightly overweight grandmother walking on tiptoes

I have Ankylosing Spondylitis which causes my bones to fuse, especially in my neck and back, but my hips have fused a bit as well since my stride isn't as long as it used to be. I was still able to walk those great distances, but I fell of a ladder last August and messed my neck up something fierce. It seems like I'm going through a new round of fusing in a more hunched over position which causes my back to get sore more quickly.

You've logged some serious miles. I'm impressed! I started walking a few years ago in the winter. I'm uncertain why I didn't do it when the weather was better! It's good exercise and very relaxing. My walks grew longer and I decided to invest in a bike instead.
I'm sorry to hear about the fall. I hope you're still able to get out.
