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.

Good to hear that looking after your health is paying off with good results, @Dimity. Keep up with the walking. I try to, but there are always days when I'm just too pre-occupied with other things. Stay well, stay happy! 😉🌞

If you can manage most days @Historylover that's good enough. Even occasionally is better than nothing.

I walk but need to put more effort into general fitness and flexibility.

@TAB here in Melb a lot of people get a building inspection to make sure they're not taking on a place with defects or likely repairs.

Re: Walking for Wellness

Hi all you walkers!

Got back from my holiday recently. Was away for nine days of which I hiked eight of these.

I saw beautiful things all the way through. Couldn’t have been better.

After ascending a small mountain on one of the hikes, I got to the top and found myself alone for 20 minutes. The surrounds were moss covered rocks and trees, all dripping wet. There was silence. The weather changed rapidly between rain with the sun peaking out intermittently.

I felt an incredible sense of calm, peace. I felt deeply happy. So I simply perched on a rock, turned my face up to the sky…and took whatever was coming. It was a very special, private moment.

Dont forget folks that you don’t have to goon some sort of odyssey for your walking. I still think heading out for whatever time you can manage must be good for your mental health.

Thinking of you all…

Sounds wonderful @Delicatessen

I am officially jealous.

The smell of freshness after rain is amazing! I need to get out in nature and get back into hiking. I am really out of shape though. Not sure if I could tackle a hill.
