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.

@Dimity

Just got back from my walk. Walked the shorter route today as it looked like rain. I shaved a minute off my time from the previous day. Glad I managed to fit it in before the online chat starts. It didn’t actually rain thank goodness!!!

Went for my walk up the hill and around the big block again today. Shaved another almost 2 minutes off today. Instead of the almost 30 minutes it was taking it only took me 26minutes 40 seconds today. That is a good sign. I dragged my son out for a walk today. I said if he walked with me that I would give him a lift first to the shops and then to his girlfriend’s house. Bribery works wonders. He then complained that I wasn’t walking past any pokestops! The audacity!!!

Re: Walking for Wellness

Hi @Oaktree @TAB @tyme @hanami and all passing through

When I did my walk today I ran into an elderly neighbour... she told me the time she usually walks... maybe it's an incentive for me to get up and walking in the mornings...
