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

I think I'll have to scale up the repetitions @tyme as the set takes only a few minutes

Re: Walking for Wellness

That sounds like a serious workout @TAB . With mine I have to vary the length depending on what I'm doing

Hey @Dimity

I also use the resistance bands. They are great! I might check out the link to the British Heart Foundation to and see what info they have for exercises.

Have a great day!

Hi Everyone

Noting my devotion to the practices of walking and hiking, I just wanted to shout out that I went for a short bush walk (no tracks) yesterday and it was utter magic. It’s something I’ve done very little of and will be just another great set of experiences to come.

As always, though, continue to highlight that any meaningful step outdoors should be celebrated. It’s great to get out amongst it!

Enjoy!

Re: Walking for Wellness

Hello I am new to this thread and need some encouragement from my peers to keep me on track! I want to try and have ongoing support with an exercise program. Walking is the best for me but I live with chronic fatigue syndrome so it makes it hard. Its one of those mystery illnesses people just don't understand. Anyway working around CFS I hope to get some exercise again. Thanks for the add @Dimity and hello to everyone here @Delicatessen @Oaktree @hanami @tyme
