Walking as a Workout

[Andreww15]

Hi! I would like to suggest an edit to "Walking". As a Personal Trainer & Running Coach I have many clients with a range of abilities and goals. Many of them report it discouraging that Walks/Walking is not counted towards their weekly totals, or able to be tagged as a workout. I feel that by adding the ability to denote that Walking is a workout the Strava community could be more inclusive to those who are building up their abilities!

I recall seeing this suggested repeatedly over the years. I would vote yes on it. Personally, I would like to see ALL activities counted toward "totals". We can then look at individual sports (run, bike, swim, etc.) to see the totals for those sports. I would love to also easily see how many hours I've invested into all forms of training YTD. Why would I not want to count kayaking, skiing, etc?
