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

Well done @TAB @Captain24 getting a short walk done is better than aiming for more and not doing it. Little and often is probably best for your knees too @TAB . Are they improving?

I'm going to head out for my walk soon. Yesterday I didn't get very far as I took a garbag and picked up litter along the way.

Re: Walking for Wellness

Um I stopped before knees got too bad this time @Dimity so hopefully will recover more quickly. Drs said last time it's inflammation. Actual damage is years of wear and tear

anyway will see dr and physio soon to get their take on it Thanks

Re: Walking for Wellness

3 days in a row I have managed to do a short walk. Just wish my back would get better so I could go for longer nicer walks.

Re: Walking for Wellness

That's great you managed short walks @Captain24 . We have to take the small wins! Slowly you'll get better.

Hugs

Re: Walking for Wellness

Another short walk today. The pain is still quite intense and doesn’t seem to be getting any better. Will try for another one this afternoon. Hopefully my back will start to get better.
