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.

How's the GLAD program going @TAB ? Knee any better?

I've been trying to do the program the ex physiol gave me most days but sometimes I need to do it over two sessions. If no pain no gain is right I should be doing ok, as I'm certainly feeling it.

knee forgotten @Dimity so yes. think been 4x now as was week off. I still find it hard. get told off for pronating knees , when no way could do exercise with out knee over ankle ha ha .i have barely been walking. think glad was harder other day as had short walk 2 days before. its a process. think solution is to drop weight else struggle to see how its going to go anywhere.im puffing at end after step ups guess thats good. plus am really overdoing other physio as told them doing Glad so am doing mostly upper body at other one. am sore , from glad and gym monday, not in bad way tho.

Keep at it. im youngest person there and oldies seem to fly through it.

am going up a level friday that will be interesting lol

Re: Walking for Wellness and Healthy Habits

Sounds like good progress @TAB .

Dunno if it's pronation but i was told to modify an exercise because one knee occasionally rotates when I walk.

Yep agree re weight but i seem to have lost a little since starting, hope it continues.

Good luck with higher level, guess it doesn't come with a coloured belt lol.

Re: Walking for Wellness and Healthy Habits

ohh maybe I used wrong term, meant having knee over ankle, ie calf not vertical, but leaning forward while doing movt involving squatting one legged
