Discussion pointless walks

[chudpolonais]

do you guys go on pointless walks? i used to every waking moment but this winter has been especially cold and i've kind of moved on to just bedrotting 24/7

I like going for walks, even if it is just a big circle around some city blocks right back to my house. I like to put on a podcast or new album while I walk. I like walking in the cold but we get lots of snow and no one here clears sidewalks so it is physically impossible for me to go anywhere in the winter. I do not see any walk as pointless, even if it is a quick 5 minutes.

As stated above, no walk is pointless. You're getting your steps in at least.

I used to walk for miles and miles every day. Nowadays, I still walk inside my house,I have enough space to do so.Don't go out as often as before.

Going for walks is one of the very very very few things that bring me enjoyment in the shitshow my life has become. If I couldn't do it, I don't think I'd last much longer.

I love going on walks at night especially in big city's it's always so peaceful

Yes, it feels like you're not really existing and in that sense, it's a bit soothing to me
I'm actually the opposite in that I bedrot when it's too hot/warm outside and go out when it's colder lmao

i used to walk during a period of my life when my eating was disordered but i haven't really ever since then. just walking for 5 minutes feels like a drag, not to mention it physically hurts to walk even for short periods of time. i go outside but most of it is spent in a car anyways. i like the idea of walking, but at the same time its so much effort and pain to do so

I'm also a big walker. Something about feeling 'in my place' when its dark and wintery and I'm walking past all the lit up windows and houses of residential areas feeling literally and metaphorically an outsider.
I also like 'feeling' the cold - or being all snuggly in jackets when its wet.
I'm almost finding it harder now its getting lighter and sunnier and warmer. Because more people are out and about, so I feel less 'special' doing it - like selfishly everyone else is discovering my secret routine.
I also think I would really struggle if I wasn't able to keep up my steps atm. But I also have periods when its a real drag to force myself out and I really don't see the point in it. For me it has to be a decent length/duration to be worthwhile. 'Just around the block' feels pointless to me. Even posting a letter or going to the shop I turn into a long walk going a very scenic route.

I freaking LOVE pointless walking
Honestly, I need to start doing it more again because it was fun while it lasted (even if it left me tired)

Pointless walking was my way of life for a while.
I would walk for miles every day, to get myself out of the house, be away from people and give myself space to breathe.
As others have said, i don't think any walking is ever really pointless- it's good for your body and soul, even if you do spend most of it crying
