I don't think it should be "stigmatized", but I will say that walking slow actually hurts me. I love museums, but that slow "museum walking" will leave my back feeling extremely sore by the end of the day.
I feel like even if I covered the same distance (or longer) walking quickly, it wouldn't be nearly as painful.
- elmomle 5mo agoI used to get lower back pain standing in concerts. For me, the pain had a lot to do with not properly engaging my glutes and core while standing still or moving slowly. Yoga was very helpful--it taught me to use my muscles to carry my body rather than letting myself sink into my joints.
- parodysbird 5mo agoIt's very often this. Even light core strengthening and glute work can help you stand or walk for much longer.

- Groxx 5mo agoYeah, I can walk at a moderate pace literally all day with no problems and be fine the next. Plodding for a couple hours brings pain and a lot of general discomfort, and I'm very patient in general - I would love to take my time with such things, but I can't. Gotta take breaks to walk faster or jog or something to recover.
- tombert 5mo agoMy wife knows me well enough to know that sometimes I'll walk fast to the next exhibit and wait for her; I'm not trying to rush ahead, it is just easier for me to do that than the slow plodding you usually do at museums.
