mall walker
Atrium fitness enthusiast
A mall walker is someone who exercises by walking laps inside a shopping mall, typically early in the morning before stores open.
Malls offer climate-controlled environments, flat surfaces, and protection from weather, making them popular with older adults and those recovering from injuries.
Many malls formally accommodate the practice by opening doors early for walkers.
The mall walkers had already done three miles by the time the first shops opened.
