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.

That's fantastic @TAB . I used to have a membership and in the first session they set up a program for me for free. Otherwise I wouldn't have known how to use the equipment.

I walked again today in the reserve, after yesterday's inspiration. The cloudiness and breeze was calming.

Great job, fellow walkers!

Re: Walking for Wellness

Hi guys just an update on my walking. I have been walking everday. I have only really missed the days where it has been really hot. Missed 5 days altogether in January and have already missed 4 days in February. I will have to be careful not to miss too many more days this month.

Still finding walking a chore but trying to make myself do it daily.

Re: Walking for Wellness

Well done @Oaktree . I hope you're finding it worthwhile. Are you noticing the benefits yet?

I think my daily walk is probably a bit like a daily chore now too... I've been taking the same route for weeks and usually go around the same time... except for the days I shop, when I count my incidental walking as the walk for the day.

Hello @Oaktree @Dimity @TAB Have you guys had your iron levels, Vit B12 checked as they can make you feel tired if they are below certain levels. I'm about to head off soon for a walk. I try and take different routes and use my nordic walking poles when I feel like it. Will be leaving in another 30 minutes. Let's all keep walking for our health ❤️
