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

Hi Everyone

Spent several hours exploring a mountain that’s nearby my home. Mix of gradual and steep ascents and meandering trails. Got to be serenaded by the sounds of many types of birds. Really peaceful.

Went on a second walk this afternoon that had me exploring a large park, playing fields and saunter along a long, winding creek.

I felt tired in the end, but have ended the day with a smile on my face. I would again encourage everyone to consider poking your head out … it doesn’t matter for how long!

Hi guys,

I failed to get out for a walk on Monday. The day just got away from me. However yesterday I managed to walk up to the library and back. I need to make it part of my daily routine again. Not sure that I will fit a walk in today but I am going to a walking group tomorrow. We will be walking along a path by the ocean. Might make the walk longer by walking around the houses on the way back. It’s quite a nice walk.

Well done @Oaktree @TAB . I missed my walk yesterday but today was really productive. I've installed Snap Send Solve to report local issues I encounter.
