#Microblog Monday 598: Walking in Place (and Going Everywhere)

Not sure what #MicroblogMondays is? Read the inaugural post which explains the idea and how you can participate too.

*******

I’ve written before that we put on first-person walking videos and walk in place in front of the television listening to an audiobook. This site is a really good compilation of these types of videos with steady camera work. As you can imagine, not all first-person videos are well-filmed, so you want to head toward YouTube accounts that do a great job filming so you don’t get dizzy as you walk.

We watch videos before we go somewhere new so we know our way around before we get there. Or we revisit places we love and walk there. Or, frankly, sometimes I just sit and watch, remembering being in a space.

Enjoy.

Are you also doing #MicroblogMondays? Add your link below. The list will be open until Tuesday morning. Link to the post itself, not your blog URL. (Don’t know what that means? Please read the three rules on this post to understand the difference between a permalink to a post and a blog’s main URL.) Only personal blogs can be added to the list. I will remove any posts connected to businesses or sponsored posts.

I always love the image of you and your family walking all over the world in place. Delightful!

You inspired me to do some of this and I loved them, though I usually enjoy a more vigorous workout. But they’d be perfect for me now. Some of the walks I’ve “done” around little English villages are enchanting. I’d love to find some of my favourite places again – maybe I can find them in Italy. That would be lovely. Thanks for the link.

Thanks for the link! I think this is the only way I’m going to be able to travel long distances bc of money and my own neuroses 😉 We are lucky to have this technology and VR
