In the warmer weather we walk TO the mall (about a 10-minute walk), then walk around the mall to do all our errands, then walk home.
When the sidewalks are too icy to walk, we drive to the mall, then walk around for 1-2 hours 3-4 days a week.
I prefer walking outdoors, especially along the canal or waterfront, but it's usually too slippery here in the winter to walk outdoors safely.

I love walking outdoors in the cold. However, not when it rains! I went to the mall with a pedometer and discovered after a day's shopping that I had walked 8.2 miles. Not bad. I felt lighter both in body and wallet.

I walk outdoors in the winter. I bundle up with layers of clothes. Some days, I have so many layers on I look & feel like a toddler in a snow suit...stiff arms and legs!  I tried mall walking and I didn't really like it. I prefer the fresh air to the mall air.

Oh, I love walking at the huge Ala Moana Mall just 2 blocks away.
Completely covering all four levels is a workout : )

I don't think I could get my heart rate up this way...I'd be stopping at every shoe store, window shopping!

There are some pretty neighborhoods near mine that I'd love to walk through, for a change of pace. (I'm lucky in that my own neighborhood is nice for walking - level roads, not too much traffic, but only two streets so it gets a bit boring). But the problem is - just too far to walk to AND through them, but no place to park a car if I drive to them. I mean, I could park along the road, I suppose, but if some stranger parked their car along the curb outside your house, and then walking off, you might quesion it, right? So I end up doing my mile past the same old houses all the time. BORING.
