Are you a fast walker or a slow walker?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I am generally a fast walker.

Even with my crutches on, I almost run around, have no slow mode.

Today I went out, accompanied by coworker and my housekeeper.
They were running to keep up with me and laughing that I am faster than them with crutches 😁😁

Walking slightly faster may help lessen your risk for type 2 diabetes

It's no secret that regular walking is good for your health, but picking up the pace on your next trek could have even more benefits, new research suggests.

Walking at a brisk pace is linked to significantly lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes, according to a study published November 28 in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.

Researchers from Semnan University in Iran and Imperial College London in the UK looked at data from 10 different studies including a total of more than 500,000 participants from the US, UK, and Japan. They compared participants' walking speed with their odds of developing type 2 diabetes over an average of 8 years.

The researchers found that people who had an average walking pace (which they defined as two to three miles per hour) had a 15% lower risk of diabetes than peers who had a more casual strolling pace of less than two miles an hour. The benefit was clear regardless of how much people walked (or exercised) overall, according to the data.

Fast. Just by virtue of my height. When my relatives complain “slow down”, I say “speed up”.

It was the same thing at work coming and going. It was the same at university going from class to class and lugging around textbooks.

This is why I HATE getting injured. I hate not being able to move.

[love_conquers_lust]

I trust that means you got better sleep.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

No, I only slept for 4 hours. Then I went out and when I came back I slept like a baby whole afternoon.

I had amazing dream too.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I don’t know anything about your injury, feel free to tell me more.

[love_conquers_lust]

I’m dealing with achilles and shoulder strain right now from running too much at my sister’s and working too hard outside after too much inactivity watching my nephew. It’s annoying. I can only do bare minimal activity until it stops. This happened before your injury.

But I know better. I’m stuck waiting to avoid risk reinjuring, then I can go back outside. At least it gives me a chance to restore my toe nails to a healthier state with teatree mint bath soaks, I’ve been neglecting them.

What was your dream about?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Sorry to hear that. Hope you’ll get well soon.

Have a good rest and eat nutritious meals.

[love_conquers_lust]

It’s been turkey, mashed potatoes, and stuffing every day for a week. I’m ready for more variety.

Same to you. Calcium, hopefully your bone mends stronger than it was before.

[IslaTheWitch]

Short people have short legs ffs...

And I mainly am not in a hurry, so I'm a slow walker :D

[TrueConfection]

I think I'm a fast walker, but my husband would disagree.

[NathanDavis]

I'm a paced walker... but I do have a longer stride due to height

decisive, but not one to rush... and I am also good to match the speed of whoever I am walking with, whether is kids, shorter people, slower walkers, faster ones... or eager dogs, lol

[Holsen]

Im a fast walker too like my walking potential is even greater than my running potential like if I were able to run with the same intensity that I walk I would be sprinting or even going faster than usain bolt lol!!😝

For me walking in the street is like being in a game where you see people being closer to you and fading as you pass them!!

[Levin]

I am a fast walker, but I have slowed my walking a bit because I realised my blood pressure is probably a bit high.

I can't stand slow walkers. There's a glut of them in the supermarket at lunch time. I can tell they don't work by their pace.

[7Phoenix7]

Haha lol

I guess I'm in the middle. I'm not really fast but also hate walkibg with someone that walks really slow

Depends on if I’m late…

[Beckybooboo]

😂😂😂😂. I love it!

[exitseven]

Yes, my wife often tells ne to slow down when we are walking.

[Jerre]

I can be slow or fast, depends on the circumstances or the people I am with

[Jerre]

@lafemmefatale_1 Thank you for the Like

[tzdc21]

Fast walker. Or at least that's what my grandmother says. But then again she's very slow with her walking so maybe I'm not so fast after all, lol.

[Siri137]

Very fast, naturally so. I won't be in a hurry, but people will think I am.

[DJB72]

Faster. Walking slowly in my prosthetic is very painful in my hip although making it shorter than my other leg has helped.

[CubaPirate]

Very fast because I used to be a postman many moons ago

[Static_In_The_Attic]

As for me I’m tall & when I walk people think I’m running.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

I am slow but I'm told I'm fast at the same time. No clue how that happens.

[rachel776]

haha try and catch me

and i'm only 5'3

[AviatorTom]

I've always been a fast Walker. I'm tall, with long legs. It actually hurts to walk slow.

[Jersey2]

My wife says I walk too fast… and evidently I don’t turn around to see when she is.

[Paris13]

I Trot Right Along. lolxxoo

[Anonymous]

Fast walker. Took the habit from my father.

And happily carry on with it.

[Staximus]

Slow down, don't hurt yourself bring in a rush like a bird brain

[Sparkie460]

I always walk fast. I just want to go in , get what I need and get out.
