take the walkpill. it's comfy out there.

Been wearing my toe shoes for a couple weeks now. It definitely feels more intense walking, especially up and down hills and non flat areas. My calves used to hurt after awhile, but not anymore. Toes spread out more than they've done before

Overall really enjoying them, even though these are cheap knockoffs. Going to get some vibrams soon and ill be wearing them as my everyday shoe

>>76256805
Vibrams are pretty great, been using for a few years. Been hiking with em too in the alps. But i wouldn't recommend starting intense stuff too early, since the foot muscles are a bit unused to such, like any other muscle really. Ease into it, incrementally increase, you'll get there.

>>76256894
I'll keep that in mind

>>76256760 (OP)
>live in England
>it rains all the time

>go to Greece
>it's 35C and the sun shows no mercy

I guess I just can't win.

>>76256894
Luv me toe shoes but they're so goddamn expensive considering how long they last. I've been through like 5 pairs over the span of about 3 years and they wear holes in them so easily.

>>76256760 (OP)
I always make sure to get my 10k steps in yes sir.

>>76257931
Yep, that's the only part that really sucks desu

>>76257931
I've been using the same saguaros for 3 years now
walking everyday

>>76256760 (OP)
And if a random waitress asks you:
"What are you walkin' for?" What do you answer to not sound like a weirdo?

>>76258067
Getting my steps in

>>76256760 (OP)
my only two options are Burgerpunk and Fentopia, I'll stick to indoor rowing

>>76258075
>burgerpunk

>>76258075
Wooolking in burgerpunk is peak comfy for me. Popping headphones in and strolling in a blazing sun for like 2 straight hours is very reminiscent of my cheap shit high school existence

i can't ever just walk. i'll always end up doing interval jogging

>>76258120
a jig is fine too

>>76258075
Burgerpunk is life.

thats a great way to get hit by a car

>>76258075
come on, not an american but you always see these giant suburbs that seem perfect to walk around no? or the parks inside the city, or your national parks the world envies you

>>76256760 (OP)
I'll never understand how a push for walkable cities got misunderstood in this way. It feels like a psyop, ykwim? Like the absolute wildest version of misinterpreting the idea. No sane person would hear about maybe being able to walk to the store or dentist and think, totalitarian restriction of movement.

We’ll need you to register with the government and we’ll give you a photo ID that you’ll need to carry for identification literally wherever you go. Take this Pass (or other toll device), it will track when you pass our checkpoints
if someone is actually worried about their government tracking and limiting their ability to travel freely, they would be so much harder to track/restrict if they didn’t use a car.

Yes and I never walk alone. Christ is King.

>>76259466
Wait wait, why'd someone associate walkable cities with 1984?

>>76259466
I used to think it was weird that Americans disliked public transport and walking so much but now my own country has been flooded with schizophrenic junkies and aggressive browns I understand them. There is no point in walkability if these people aren't kept off the streets.

>>76256760 (OP)
Never noticed anything from walking

>>76259466
It was from lobbying by the oil industries my friend

>>76256760 (OP)
show causal proof of the relations you claim. How big is the effect in each case? Could you get that or a bigger effect from other things?

>>76259572
You could just jog too but walking is a good starting point anyone can do.

>>76259567
it's not powerful all mighty lobbying. A lot of normal anons on this site think that way

Take the bikepill

you faggots will never take the bike pill because you are concerned about what other men think of you. Thats gay.
Pro cycling is the most roided out sport in the history of sports its so fucking based and you are missing out

>get to wear Lycra to show off your big bulge and abs
every cyclist I've ever seen wearing lycra was some sort of a gay skeleton tho
doesn't help that a lot of this clothing comes with extra padding on the crotch and ass to make sure you look extra zesty
also no, I'm not wearing a helmet, motorcycle helmets are cool, bicycle helmets make you look like you're 5yo

You know who actually looks 5 years old here right
its crazy to me people are actually missing out on this because of such childish pathetic insecurities, its like not going to the gym because you are afraid people will see you make a funny face when you lift something heavy and it won’t be cool

>>76256805
What’s the benefit to this over a shoe with a wide toe box? do the divisions between toes do anything?

>>76258067
Is this a big fear of yours?

>>76260521
Forced toe spread compared to wide box shoes. Helps return you to your natural position. Also since the toes move individually it simulates walking barefoot better than wide boxes

>>76259732

Ebikes are for fat people they are just worse than bikes and don’t give you proper exercise
If you really are fat and you need to lose weight its a good stepping stone but unless you are disabled, dont fall for the meme

Can't you walk around inside your house? Or does indoor walking not count?

Lads I broke my toe so I'll have to stop walking/running for awhile. Walk a few extra steps for me today

>>76261538
Can't you put your injured foot in a roller skate and use your lead foot to pull yourself along?

>>76261408
ebikes are fucking awesome and fun as hell. I don't bike for the exercise. at most I do it to get the blood flowing a little and perk up, which ebikes do just as well. Also, ebikes lead to people biking way more than they would otherwise. Don't be a snob

>>76256805
dude these look OFFENSIVELY retarded holy shit

Thanks but I don't have to try to walk. 30 minutes a day should be doable for almost everyone who doesn't sit inside all day and not leave the house.

>>76259712
That was a shoot, Mark

>>76256760 (OP)
Why would I ever waste 30 mins walking when I just:

A) run for less time

or

B) run for the same amount of time

doing any cardio as a means of transportation makes you a faggot or a european. there is no reason to do anything besides driving and/or parking your car everywhere. its the most efficient form of transportation.

I personally love road cyclists
Not one myself, but I just love how they expose psychos.

People who fantasize about hitting cyclists?
Banned from driving. Just like people who talk about wanting to go on a shooting spree are banned from owning guns.

Get angry about a cyclist holding you up for two minutes?
Not getting in a car with you, far too dangerous if you are this sensitive to road rage.

ebikes do lead people to start biking but only because they are scared of it for no reason, if you don’t want exercise but you still want to bike then fair enough i guess. but generally ebikes are slow and have shit range and break a lot
You can tell me im wrong but im not. The only benefit is they are easy mode

>>76256805
Bro that's just straight up autism. IIRC shoes like that have been linked to injuries since our feet aren't used to them due to the fact that most of us have been wearing shoes with support for most if not all of our lives

>>76264105
>insane amount of cars on the road causes and blocks traffic? Oh that’s fine because they are cars doing it
>the rare bicyclist I come across, who might have to ride in the car lane for a bit nexuses there’s no bike lane, that causes me to be 30-60 seconds late to my next red light or stop sign? They all need to be run down and killed
I guess the whole “car drivers desire to kill all cyclists” perspective makes it make so much sense how many car deaths there are a year, and how car drivers eat, text, watch movies, and fuck around in other ways while driving, completely uncaring and nonchalant about the fact that they’re driving a one ton explosive fuel filled steel cage at 70 mph. 40k USA car deaths per year? Who cares. 1k bicycle deaths per year? BICYCLES ARE A SCOURGE ON HUMANITY AND NEED TO BE ERADICATED

No joke one of the girls at my gym has the nicest body I've seen. Like a top 1% build and all she does is walk on the treadmill and stretch.

Don't think I've ever seen her lift heavy or do the conventional butt workouts. And yet she has hentai body I'm stumped. Is it really just walking for females?

Are you claiming that I somehow implied wanting to hit cyclists? I merely stated that bikers are often hopping curbs onto roads without shoulder checking leaving them susceptible to being hit and then acting as if they aren't the ones in the wrong.

good work. I am a regular at a store for a while now and am friendly with all the people and things have been getting more and more flirty with the hot girl there. it's honestly become a big part of my social life

>>76265310
I do look forward to it now. My sleep and mental health have both definitely improved through it too.
>things have been getting more and more flirty with the hot girl there
Based. I hope it works out for you.
It's a difficult situation for me because she's clearly younger than I am by quite a bit. But what I did notice was...
>Always smiles at me and says hello when I order
>But it's her job to smile at people and be welcoming
>Kinda looks shy if I maintain eye contact with her
>Have to wait for my order today so it allowed me to take mental notes
>Notice that she doesn't smile at anyone else and half of them she didn't even look up at when she's serving them
>In my mind this is a positive sign, but I have a habit of deluding myself
Need to somehow bump into her at a social gathering away from work.

>It's a difficult situation for me because she's clearly younger than I am by quite a bit. But what I did notice was...
Same thing for me but I have to give my birthday to buy the thing (which she memorized pretty quickly) so she knows how old I am
I would just say keep at it don't rush things if you're unsure or unconfident. If she gets comfortable with you she'll let you know pretty much. That's my strategy at least

>>76256760 (OP)
I walk all the time, but not to buy things. Inevitably the stores closest to me are run by idiots and I don't want to go there.

I've never liked cycling for some reason, even as a kid I would rather just walk if I could, but I do respect the insane cardio of cyclists.
I saw this video the other day
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBfS4oT1J8M
and the fact that the younger guy got to the top of an insane climb after giving it his all, and yet he was able to casualy repeat the last section minutes later to accompany the other guy, was really impressive to me

>>76265347
Plastic, glass, sharp rocks, sticks, bugs. You really dont want to walk around barefoot unless youre walking in maintained areas like a park

>>76262635
>lol guys lets just give the goverment the ability to take your freedom away because you think the wrong thoughts
How to tell me you're from the UK without telling me you're from the UK. Don't get me wrong, I get it, road rage is a problem. As it is we barely even take licenses away from old people with dementia, but this concept is inherently dystopian. If you think this sort of thing won't just help turn the world into an AI/techbro controlled precrime hellscape filled with cogs I don't know what to tell you. The slippery slope is real.

>>76257024
Walk early or after 730 or so. t. in Greece and walk often - beats fucking anglo weather any time any day

>>76266671
I run barefoot all the time in an urban environment and honestly, all that shit is not a big deal, nor as common on the sidewalk as you'd expect. Aover several years I've seen maybe three nails/sharp pieces of metal and a good amount of broken bottles, but easy enough to see coming and step/jump over. Haven't cut or punctured my feet once from barefoot running. Now, barefoot on the grass or in a park or something? That's where shit happens, sharp things can hide in grass and dirt.

Your feet will adapt. I've been wearing barefoot shoes (wide toe box, no support) for years and it's only strengthened my feet and cured my recurring painful muscle spasms.

>>76259466
You're naive if you think 15-minute cities are about your health or saving the environment rather than about controlling people. The whole idea is to punish and eventually eliminate travel.
