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

Hope you have supportive shoes @TAB . I just bought arch/heel supports from Woolies.

Might be worth mentioning to gp or physio as sometimes it's a ligament inflammation thing.

Re: Walking for Wellness

I think it's inflammation @Dimity never had it before few months ago. If stop walking it goes away eventually . Not an option really. Yes bad footware.,got new shoes dont like the fit need arch supports another new pair shoes

Re: Walking for Wellness

@TAB my $12 arch supports from Woolies are great, better than megaexpensive orthotics from podiatrist

Re: Walking for Wellness

Hi guys, I am pleased to say that I only have a couple of kms left to walk to hit my October target so no problems there. Fundraising was tough this year but I still raised $320 which is better than nothing. I hope things improve financially for people next year so that I can raise a little more. Had a couple of really generous donations.
