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

Thanks @Oaktree ,

I most definitely need some encouragement from my forums’ friends here to get back into a walking routine. I’ve certainly been super slack and my dietician won’t be happy!


Thank you for the much needed reminder!

Hope you're better soon @Adge and that you the cats and birds didn't run short of supplies while you were isolating

It’ 3:45pm and I just got back from my first walk. I may have overdone it a bit as I did my usual old walk which is quite long. I walked for about 43 minutes. I feel tired out but I feel happy about it. It feels good to do something that I know is good for me!

How did you guys go today?

Hi @Oaktree @Dimity @BPDSurvivor @Adge @Shaz51 ,

Unfortunately, I didn't make any conscious effort to go for a walk today. So yes, I did incidental walking, but not 'Walking for Wellness' - but seriously, messages from this thread everyday will cause me to eventually do it!

Thanks forums-family!

@tyme

I dare you to get out there and just do it. Even if it’s just 10 minutes at lunch time. It will improve your mood.

Re: Walking for Wellness

@Oaktree I did end up going for a short walk, but it was at night after work, which is better than nothing but I think it's probably best when you get some of that vitamin D 🌞
