I have ADHD and without my medicine begin walking obsessively. In college, i would walk from one end of campus to the other over and over. When i lived in downtown Dallas i would walk from the West End to Deep Ellum (that's petty far on foot) and back over and over as well. It was good exercise i guess but took a lot of time/energy. Plus, on weekdays i would do it at night which is not the safest thing.
Now on medication, I still walk but not near as much, maybe a mile a day. And, like others have said, i've solved many problems while walking so it's not a total waste of time.
- romwell 5y agoI've said in my other comment here that "walking-helps-thinking" is a well-known symptom of ADHD and ASD. Was surprised to see my comment initially downvoted a lot. For all who feel like they need walk to think about things, looking into ADHD/ASD could improve y'all's lives.
