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

Well done @Oaktree for walking yesterday. I think the only goal setting needed is to commit to walking most days, if not every day. Times and distances will sort themselves depending on how you feel and will improve. This week I come to the end of my 6 month intervention and will then have only one more call from the coach in 6 months time to see if I've stayed with the program.

Re: Walking for Wellness

I'm not sure what that means @Oaktree but if you added 20 more Pokemon to your collection that's impressive, right?

My walk today consisted of getting a trolleyload of stuff to the opshop and bringing groceries home.
