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.

Hi @Oaktree and thanks for the tag.

I got up quite late today and instead of moving straight to the couch I remembered this thread and put my boots on.

Spent some time walking around outside, pulled a few weeds and collected some fallen branches for the fire pit.

Feel so much better for it. How's your walking going today?

Take care,

RedHorse 🌹🐴
