Not really out more often, because I usually ride my bike everywhere, but the hours have increased. I have noticed a 5 mile ride to the store is now, for some unknown reason, coming in at 7-10 miles and taking 4 times as long.
|
Oh man yeah. I've walked around 2 miles today if not more which is a lot more than usual and it's really exciting to be outside. I loooove GO even though all these freezes and crashes. Hopefully I'll keep at it, like Fabio said it could very well wear off but it's Pokémon and I tend to get overly obsessed. =p
|
Oh, definitely! It's done wonders for my friends, too. I've heard of people forming groups to go out walking/playing. Currently I'm a little sick, so I'm eagerly waiting to go out and catch this goddamn Clefairy, haha. Can't wait to see how active I will be once I go to the City (San Francisco)!
|
I am a runner so I came outside quite often already! However, I walked my usual 10km round today (that I used to run with Nike+ Running) and it didn't hatch my 10km egg...
When I am running I have to stop in order to catch so that's quite a hassle hahah. |
I hate going outside. The sun burns you, bugs attack you, and I trip a lot.
That being said, yes, I've been walking almost every day. Today it almost didn't happen because I got all hyped to hatch my 10km egg, got all ready, took one step out the door and walking right into a spider web but I still went. |
Yes, but more so now I see my surroundings in a whole new way. I see pokestops instead of churches and fountains!
|
I go to the gym about five times a week and do my cardio there but decided today I'd go for a walk after my lift. Walked around my neighborhood for about 20 minutes to hit all the pokestops around and caught a few new pokemon. Was pretty cool but I was alone so it got boring after a while. If I had a friend or two with me I think I would enjoy it a little more.
|
Yes, not to go out and walk around the neighborhood but to watch the idiots driving and trying to catch Pokemon almost causing an accident in the process.

I met an individual that bought a 1 day park hopper (174.99) over at DisneyWorld just to play PokemonGo.
The commitment is real out here. |
I had surgery on my foot last month, so my mobility has been pretty limited. But ever since I installed the game, I've been motivated to go out and exercise. Of course, I end up with pain by the end of the day.
I can't wait to head in to the city so I can find more stops and players though. |
Definitely. I find myself taking more walks and discovering new places near me I never even knew existed haha.
|
A friend asked me if I wanted to go walking, it was a scary new experience.
|
A bit. I went for a walk into town that I otherwise wouldn't have today.
Before today I had an old data plan so I couldn't use online without it costing a lot (so I didn't really feel the need to go anywhere)....but now I have 7.5gb to mess around with for 30 days so it should be fine. |
Me before today: bed.
Me after today: LET'S GO CATCH SOME POKÉMON! *douses self in sun cream* *takes ALL of the hayfever meds* *charges up portable charger* *goes outside* |
Mine has encouraged me to be at work and in town more lol. There aren't too many Pokemon right outside of where I live. THE LIFE OF LIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE http://cbc.pokecommunity.com/config/emoticons/ugh.gif
|
apparently I didn't douse myself in enough suncream because now the tops of my ears are peeling
...maybe I should bathe in it next time |
Yeah for sure. I have been going out to more parks. Today I visited a higher end shopping center I walked around for 2 hours and I even visited a local Red Robin's to eat because they had a PokeStop. I even got a discount because I was playing Pokemon Go. It was a pretty good day.
|
It definitely has. Me and my husband are both fairly active already, but like yesterday for instance, we woke up at 8am specifically to go on a walk down main street and collect pokestops, find pokemon etc. Later on we went to the pool and by the pool there's a park with a winding track and quite a few pokestops there so we ended up exploring the park as well, which turned out to be GORGEOUS with a gazebo overlooking the most gorgeous pond (which happened to have a gym on the other side). There were quite a few other people who had the same idea as us and we found a group of maybe 8-10 older teenagers sitting around the rock wall (which was a pokestop with a lure) catching pokemon as they showed up and commenting about the stuff they got, etc.
It's already been soooo much fun and I wore my fitbit which let me know I had over 12,000 steps by dinner time! The only issue is that I got ridiculously bad sunburned from being out all day, but wearing sunscreen is a small price to pay for such an amazing time. Ha. |
I am a Lifeguard at a pool so I am always outside anyway so it really hasn't got me out more. One cool thing though is it got a group of friends around 10 people taking walks together trying to check Pokemon.
|
definately i see crazy amount of people on the street at night time
|
I've been going outside everyday due to XC practicing by myself and a friend. However, this game has caused me to stay 3-4 hours longer than usually, and made me buy a power bank! It's fun to place lure modules with my friend as nearby Pokemon GO players come and stay to catch Pokemon. I met some very nice people through that!
|
I have already been going out but it has encouraged me to go out even more now!
|
Oh definitely, I visited a park I haven't been to in ten years, explored a new side of town, and walked up and down the mall while staring at my phone for two hours. :p
