When I walk my dog, I pray the Rosary out-loud. I don’t care if people think I’m crazy. 😃 Do you pray while walking?
 
I haven’t prayed the rosary walking, lately, and when I have, it’s generally been silently. I usually pray the rosary in my room, but I usually pray other, shorter, prayers while walking. I have trouble multitasking, so I find it easier with short prayers while walking, longer ones at the house where I can give them my undivided attention.

I admit I do find it helpful, even in my room, to pray outloud, though. It’s easier to focus that way.
 
I pray the rosary when I’m walking a block to get on my muncicipal stgreet car to go downtown – I usually keep the rosary in one of my pockets, but I do pray it every time I walk to the municipal transit – I couldn’t walk that block without my rosary.
 
I usually pray the rosary in my room, sitting on my bed. If I walk with my rosary, it’s because I’m moving from one room to another to try and finish up. But walking while you’re praying the rosary is great if you do it. 👍 I just need to concentrate, and being in my room, on my bed helps me do that best.
 
Yes. The rosary, the divine mercy chaplet, the litany of saints, and the Jesus prayer.
 
I’ll say Rosaries while working out on cardio machines- stationary bike/elliptical/rowing machine etc., and also while running.

I do but usually very quietly, I actually listen to the rosary army podcast which helps keep track of where you are since I don’t hold my rosary itself.
 
No. I sit down so I can concentrate. My mind wonders easily while praying. If I walked and prayed I wouldn’t get to where I was going. lol
 
I, too, pray the rosary while walking the dog; and I pray it out loud as well. My neighbors have gotten so used to it, they don’t think anything about it.
 
I pray it while running. (At my age it is always good to be praying while exercising :). To keep track of where I’m at I just use my fingers. I guess that’s why God gave you ten of them.
 
Yep, I usually use the little one decade Rosary ring or sometimes just my fingers. 🙂
 
Pax Christi!

Yes, indeed. Many times, and not only when walking but also when doing routine or monotonous tasks that don’t require full concentration. Usually I pick an intention (family, a sick friend, or whatever), say three Hail Marys, then pick another intention, and so on. This works whether I have a little or a lot of time at hand.

It helps keep out inappropriate or ‘junk’ thoughts. And it helps do some good.

God bless.
 
Yes I pray the Rosary while walking,but in my head. I have it on my iphone, so I use head phones. I can also keep track of how many prayers I have said with the Rosary app on my iphone, It’s so cool! I also pray Rosary when I’m on the train or at home.👍
 
I always pray the rosary while going for a walk - especially in a park or along a trail.

Once, while having terrible doubts about the blessed Virgin Mary, I was walking along a pond while praying the rosary. I happened upon a family of ducks - 4 or 5 ducklings with their mother, who was shepherding them alongside the banks in search for food. Somehow the tender way in which she handled them struck a cord with me as I prayed the rosary. It calmed my fears almost instantly. Life is very simple, and the Virgin shows it.

Near here, there is a lovely hill that seems to stretch on to eternity. A road leads straight up to the summit and down the other side, surrounded by many trees. On a clear day, under the blue sky, one can imagine walking along this road to Emmaus, or following the resurrected Lord before He ascended, or accompanying Him up to Calvary before the crucifixion. Living in the real world is the best time to pray, for you experience not the four sterile walls of dead space, but the real smells, sights, and sounds that the Lord, His mother, and the Apostles experience(d).

All the mysteries come alive in their incarnate reality while walking and rosaring. 😉
