Walking for Wellness and Healthy Habits

OaktreeSenior Contributor06 July 2021, 9:41 pm AEST

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

Slow and steady @TAB particularly given your health and injuries. Maybe aim to do less but do it consistently. I haven't done much for a while and am trying to build up again. Do you need to find a new physiotherapist?

Re: Walking for Wellness

The soreness should ease @TAB . Keep at it.

I walked a little further today. Feeling good about it.

How are you going @Oaktree @Shaz51 @Former-Member ?

Re: Walking for Wellness

Well done @Dimity

I went to an exhibition this morning and now it looks like rain so I haven’t walked yet today. I want to get involved in the online chat this evening which starts in a little over an hour so I am running out of time to get my walk in.
