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.

@TAB I found the resistance band and worksheet beside the pile so I didn't need to dig. I have light dumbbells too. What weights do you use?

Re: Walking for Wellness

Don't worry about upgrading them @TAB until you've set them up and run them in. You might not need to.

I haven't done floor exercises for years but the cat used to be intrigued.

Re: Walking for Wellness

Something odd about bench never feels like body in right place. Have to modify it .

No not buying anything else. Need to juggle stuff to get some space as well. I dumped lots stuff in rm w weights when people came to do fans etc. Time to sort, use,lose, shift stuff
