Walking for Wellness and Healthy Habits

OaktreeSenior Contributor

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

Well done for pushing through @Oaktree that's the key to sustaining the effort. I didn't walk yesterday but walked today. So I've walked twelve days in the last fortnight. You're doing really well to get out there and do it every day.

I didn’t walk today, feeling out of sorts today after some bad news overnight.

Re: Walking for Wellness

Awwww hugs @Oaktree . Without sounding like a hypocrite, sometimes the best times to walk is when feeling down. It'll help with the endorphins.

I'm sorry to hear you receive some bad news. I'm here if you need a chat.

Re: Walking for Wellness

Hi @Oaktree I'm sorry you've had a setback after bad news. Sometimes walking or meditating helps me process things... I hope you have a better day tomorrow.

I walked again today. I'm setting up a daily reminder so I don't leave it too late.

Re: Walking for Wellness

I managed a walk this morning as finally it isn’t raining. I feel like it has started my day in a better place. Maybe I should use this thread to encourage me to do it every morning that I’m not working
