Mall Walking in San Diego County, Plus Mall Discounts and Specials
By Sheri McGregor

Walking is known to help with weight loss, aid seniors to avoid disability as they age, and lower colon cancer risk—among other great benefits. With little more than good shoes and socks, walking may be the cheapest fitness routine yet. For many San Diegans, San Diego’s malls provide just the right place to walk, as well as offer other positive benefits.
It’s empowering to walk by the stores and see all the new fashion looks without actually going in and spending money, says one local mall walker. And when you do need to buy, incorporating your shopping with your exercise routine saves time. Other mall walkers like the comfort-controlled environments of our indoor malls. Also, most malls have discount membership programs to save you money.
At the Westfield North County Mall (Escondido), if you walk wall-to-wall (meaning you go around the entire interior perimeter space of the mall, without cutting corners) you can rack up mileage as follows:
Bottom floor – 1/3 mile
Second level—2/3 mile
Top level—1/3 mile
Check with your favorite mall’s concierge or management office for official mall walking programs and mileage. Meanwhile, enjoy mall discounts.
