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.

Wonderful @Delicatessen . You'll enjoy it 3 times over - the anticipation the experience and the memories. Scenic destination or nature immersion?

Re: Walking for Wellness

i was walking a lot , but not quickly , there was speed training program in the newspaper @Dimity like quick and slow intervals. heard people in crowd near the end saying was I running lol, didnt feel like it ha ha I do a kilometre in 12 mins now, well when walking, yes , gettinf sick of myself re foot will try physio first never been to podiatrist , read that its likely foor pain is a symptom of another problem, calf is really tight , plus that side was knee that gave out 3x this year lol

Re: Walking for Wellness

Better to get expert opinion than Dr Google @TAB . Could also be plantar fasciitis. Podiatrists are actually OK, they do gait analysis not just feet. So you've got a choice - gp physio or podiatrist.

I didn't walk yesterday, I'd better feed the cat then go.

Hello @Former-Member @TAB @Oaktree @Piper20 @tyme @Captain24 @Delicatessenand all walking by

How is the walking going? I'm still persevering with my late afternoon walk but might have to rethink it when the weather gets hotter. I'm still working on my goal outcomes for diet and fitness... and blood sugars. I really must get back to my resistance exercises to ensure I'm not losing muscle.

Hint: If you want to make more walking one of your New Years Resolutions how about getting a free trial before Xmas? Just a thought.
