Or Arnold. Either's good.
 
When all else fails, try McBane.

Aside from that, putting one foot in front of the other CAN be enjoyable. I only posted Monty Python half-jokingly. Well, the video was a joke, but the point is that if you're just plodding along because of an Eeyore "because I have to," yeah, it's nothing special. On the other hand, my personal thing when not in public is teaching myself how to fight similar to Traditional Drunken Boxing (or Traditional Drunken Style Kung-fu), which relies on you being able to
  1. move fluidly
  2. keep in constant motion
  3. hone your balance

So around the house, like, say, grabbing a glass out of the cupboard, milk out of the fridge, pouring it, putting the milk away, drinking out of the glass, and putting it in the dishwasher, the only points where I'm not moving are when I'm pouring and drinking. It's a great exercise for your coordination and doing it has really put me at ease with how my body works, so I'll have all four limbs doing something different all at once and it's quite frankly a blast.


Edit: I'd complain about being double-ninja'd, but really, is anyone surprised? :J

THIS WAS THE POINT OF THE JOKE.

I PURPOSEFULLY USED RIDICULOUS HYPERBOLE AND COMPARED IT TO THE MECHANICAL WALK OF PUTTING ONE FOOT IN FRONT OF THE OTHER FOR THE SAKE OF COMEDY!

Do you get it now?

I get that you're Krylo, and thus, not funny, Is that what I'm supposed to get? Do I win? Do I get money? treats? sexual favors? I got IT! what do I win?

If he uses IE, it can be found here and will appear after clicking OK and hitting Alt+F4. :p

She actually just said that she enjoys walks, which just seemed to be lacking effort. You gotta supply a location with that, or a preposition or adverb or whatever, as Krylo illustrated. "I enjoy walks TOGETHER" or something along those lines. The main thing with me is she followed that with "enjoys games and movies and etc." other sedentary activities that don't lend themselves to a love of physical exercise very easily. I figured she just felt that "walks" were required for singles ads and threw it in there.

I myself love long HIKES in the woods, which is a bit more of an assertion, as it implies an effortful attempt to journey to and from a given destination. Walking is pretty blase. Anyone can walk. You can walk up an incline, but you can only HIKE up a hill and/or mountain.

I could also Hike Up my pants *badum-TISH*

In the old days they'd use "walk" as a synonym to "talk". They understood that strolling together is highly conductive to conversation. As you move your thoughts are set in motion, and the breeze stirs your mind as the sight of the sky opens it.

I'd stick with calling it "strolling" though, or hiking or prowling or frolicking or even riding the apostle-horses. "Walking" these days implies a mode of transportation from point A to B, not a social activity. I think.

Yeah, I don't think all of those really work for a dating ad. "I like prowling the city streets in the downtown area" really doesn't come off well. XD

Sounds like a singles ad from Rorschach, that.
