An alternative to becoming the next Central Park jogger
Mall walking is a form of exercise in which people walk or jog through the usually long corridors of shopping malls. Many malls open early so that people may mall walk, however stores and other such facilities generally do not open at this time. Many choose to mall walk as the indoor climate is comfortable and there is easy access to restrooms. Mall walking is undertaken individually, in groups, or as part of an organized mall walking program. The Mall Walker's Association of America is one of the most popular national mall walking programs in the United States. Mall walking in the United States is especially popular amongst senior citizens.
