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
It's good you're finding out what you can do in the neighbourhood @Oaktree like fitness stairs and shopping mall.
I hope you can rest up and get stronger @Bow and @Fluttershy1

Re: Walking for Wellness
Went for a morning stroll under glorious weather along the oceanside path. Beautiful views of the ocean all along on one side. A few hills. Left hubby in the car listening to his audio book. The walk took 31 minutes in total. Feeling pretty good today. Love to all @Dimity@Bow@Fluttershy1@bipolarbunny@Shaz51 back to rain tomorrow.

Re: Walking for Wellness
You're so lucky to have that lovely seaside walk @Oaktree . I need to put on my shoes and walk even though it's just suburbia here. I might finish pruning the roses afterwards.
Hope you catch a good movie or two @Fluttershy1 . And sending you best wishes @Bow .
Cheers, Dimity

Re: Walking for Wellness
Yes @Dimity super lucky where we are situated. Just a five minute drive to the ocean. There are many different oceanside paths to choose from up and down the coast depending on how far I can be bothered driving. There is also a lovely walk around the park and oval if I just decide to walk around my neighbourhood so yes I agree I am super lucky and blessed.

I've watched a few good movies @Dimity. @Peregrinefalcon - have you done any exercise today?
