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.

Re: Walking for Wellness

Hi people

Just clarifying my last post was about the difficulty openly discussing diet, exercise and weight management - which are particularly important to people on antipsychotics. They have a direct bearing on associated morbidities and on medication compliance.

My thanks to @tyme for following up with me.

Keep walking - I'll be trying...

Hello @Oaktree @Shaz51 @TAB @Jimbo2 @tyme how's the walking?

I only went around the block today but I gardened for a couple of hours. A few weeks ago I couldn't have managed that.

Onward and upward.

Hi guys,

Yesterday I walked a long, long way. Went out with my son to hatch eggs and catch Pokémon. Walked to a park that had many pokestops. It was a lovely sunny day. Today is wet so no walk today.

I went for a lovely walk this afternoon through the park and focussed on the river flowing, the birds chirping and the sound of the wind through the trees
