Walking gets rid of my back pain, so, I do a lot of it. Nothing I measure, just walk until I feel better.
I find walking to be the easiest form of exercise.

4.29 miles. This was a tough one because only a few feet of it were on a sidewalk, street, or road; the remainder was along railroad tracks, ATV trails, and a large part of it was through a marsh, and there was an elevation gain of 466 feet.

10 pounds of weights for 5 minutes. You strong, girl!Walking 30 minutes & 10lb weights each arm about 5 minutes !

I'm just a weakling. I do 5 pounds of hand weights for a minute or so a few times through out the day. I can probably do 8 pounds, but why exert myself.

I started with 5lbs but when it became too easy I up it to 10 lbs !
I think that's what your suppose to do !
It takes time ....at least your doing something ...You Go Girl
4.3 miles. I almost called my wife to bring me water because temperatures reached the 90s, but by then, I was a half mile from home, and it was mostly downhill. The section from my house (the start and end point) to the hospital is all uphill, so I often include that walk, along with the adjacent streets, when I feel like I still need some more exercise at the end of a walk. Poplar and Spruce are uphill, so I take the intersecting streets not only to add some distance to my walk but also to get a break from the climb, since they are largely flat.

I don’t go for actual walks anymore, but I do walk around over the course of the day, and it mostly ends up around 2 miles, plus whatever exercise from yardwork that I get with carrying the weedeater, or bending over pulling up weeds and such as that.

Yes, walking around does help back pain. What kind of bed do you have?
In my 50's (23 yrs ago) I was only able to sleep a couple of hours, then I'd have to get up & walk around every two hours to relieve low back pain.
At 5 am, I saw a TV ad for a Tempur Pedic bed. Since it had a 3-month free trial period & I was desperate, I ordered it. For 5 nights, it didn't help so I planned to return it. On the 6th night, I went to bed at my usual 1 am. I woke up, thinking it was 3 am & found out it was 8 am & I had no back pain. Since then, I only have back pain a couple of times/year & it's not bad. The mattress seems to re-align the vertebrae or somehow fix it.
Back then, the brand was the only option; now several companies make similar mattresses. If I didn't already have the Tempur Pedic, I would try the "Dormeo" mattress topper; it's similar but it's supposed to be better. And much less expensive.

Ken, how long does it take you to walk 4.3 miles?
Back when DIL and I were walking, it took us 45 minutes to walk 3 miles.
