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

I walked and did my kung fu routine on Monday morning for the first time in at least 12 months. I have had an ongoing knee ligament issue, and the physio was really successful in guiding me back to being able to walk and practice kung fu. Also, just motivation was an issue (when isn't it?) and I am much better off after eating healthy and keeping up with my daily wellness check list. I have lost enough weight in the last 3 months that I can move around easier, but although weight-loss isn't the goal, it is reassuring and giving me a confidence boost.

I can't wait for my SW to arrive this morning, and we will walk/talk and practice qigong together!

Hello @deshift @Shaz51 @Oaktree @TAB

walking is great

Yesterday my BP was dangerously high but it came down a bit after I walked.

Re: Walking for Wellness

Please look after yourself @Dimity

Maybe talk to your doctor and see if there is anything they can do to help your high bp. Meditation may also help.
