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.

Good idea @Oaktree . Go catch Pokémon! However? I think I prefer to be in touch with nature. Lol.

@Oaktree ,

I did however sign up for Western Bulldogs Daughters of the West health program. That starts in July or so. It’s a 10 week health and fitness program. I did it last year, but unfortunately because of covid, it was run via zoom… so I want to give it another go and actually schedule these two hours in each week for ME.

Loving the camaraderie in this thread! Go team 👏👏

@Oaktree have you noticed any benefit to your mood etc with the daily exercise, or is it too early to say just yet?

Re: Walking for Wellness

Well I don’t know if it’s affecting my mood @Former-Member but it couldn’t be hurting. I guess I will keep it up and see.

Just got back from my daily walk. I did the shorter walk today as it was threatening rain. I did take my umbrella and had to use it but it only rained lightly. I am going out to look at the Sistene Chapel Exhibition tomorrow so not sure when I will fit my walk in but I hope to.

I hope you are all doing well!

Hi @Oaktree I thought of this thread and pushed myself out of the door. You're setting a good example.
