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

That was a long walk @TAB , I hope you haven't overreached. But it was quite an achievement.

I'm debating whether to walk to the shops - rain is forecast. I might have a look at the weather radar.

Re: Walking for Wellness

Hope the new footwear was OK @TAB .

I walked twice as long today to include going uphill. Saw some galahs.

Tired now, and sore muscles.

Re: Walking for Wellness

Had a few problems @Dimity need new socks. Will go back to old footwear and introduce bit by bit.

Thats good with your walk. Try some stretches maybe ?

Re: Walking for Wellness

Hi gang,

so sorry I have been absent lately. I got the dreaded Covid and then a chest infection followed. Still taking the second round of antibiotics and I am still coughing. I hope to get over it soon. One Foot Forward for The Black Dog institute starts in October so I have a lot of walking in my future.
How are you guys doing with the walking/exercise?

@TAB @tyme @EternalFlower @Dimity @Captain24 And all you others passing through here…
