Walking for Wellness and Healthy Habits

Walking for Wellness and Healthy Habits

  • So I took part in Topic Tuesday this evening on Physical Activity for Mental Health. I feel motivated so I am going to give up my couch potato ways and start to make an effort to get outside to walk for exercise. I am hoping that I will improve my mental health whilst losing weight and increasing fitness. I am going to keep you updated about my progress here. Feel free to join in - the more the merrier! Maybe we can help motivate each other.

Re: Walking for Wellness

@Dimity People are under that impression that flower power in the 60's was the Age of Aquarius. That is wrong. However many astrologers are kind of in disagreement when the phase actually begins but its leaning in now. But we are certainly entering the Golden Age according to a yoga commentator I follow prior to that it was Kali Yuga which was a highly difficult age where there was little spiritual consciousness and the light was virtually non existent

I just did a health quiz from todays Herald Sun from their online newspaper. They are saying Aussies are obese and unhealthy and the quiz determines your biological age, not your actual age. My actual age is 54 and I have the biological age of a 44 year old now according to the quiz. YAY! I could bring my biological age down a bit more, we'll see how I go. I answered all the questions honestly and surprised myself

@Oaktree @Dimity @StuF @Shaz51 @TAB @Glisten

I just did a biological age calculation in my previous post and thought people may want to know their biological age. I got it off the Herald Sun but it comes with a paid online subscription. Here is a free biological age calculator that you can easily do with tips and pointers to reduce your biological age after you take the test!

Re: Walking for Wellness

@Former-Member I bet it said you were 21.

I’m almost too scared to try it.

I need a walk. Thank you for the tag.

I should ask the women on my FB Women’s Shed chat if anyone wants to go for a walk.

Still trudging around my usual circuit. Noticed a pink flowering gum today - I could hear but not see the lorikeets in it

Hope you're managing to fit in a walk occasionally. I'm thankful my routine is now so entrenched I make the effort even on off days. I wish I was that disciplined with other things. Any suggestions for other healthy habits?
