Walking for Wellness and Healthy Habits

My BP goes up and down all the time @TAB , @Oaktree , @Dimity , @deshift

Kind of settled down at the moment

i only check mine if dont feel well @Shaz51 dr changed meds, that helped. was on dift meds before thyroid op, they didnt seem to work the same after that. when ever dr takes bp now they say 'fine' but 5 years ago would have said bad for same reading .. lol

You'd need to be extra careful with kidney disease @Shaz51

I prob should talk to gp about stronger BP meds. Haven't meditated or done yoga nidra for a while, should go back to them.

Shorter walks more often might help @TAB .

Thanks guys! @Shaz51 @Oaktree @TAB @Dimity

ok @Dimity prob best to mention to dr ? high BP can lead to stroke plus damages circulatory system. funny , ive been seeing drs , told not taking things seriously then they put me on wait list for an appt to see specialist lol ..so sorta like, well, what changed, in a way ? guess got a bit fo re assurance

Hi @deshift guessing you are a walker ? hope things not too bad for you today. think going back to bed here lol

@TAB When I am doing really well, I walk at first light every morning and do some gentle meditation exercise too at the parklands. It's been so long I forgot how good it made me feel! 😁

That sounds ideal @deshift . I'm not an early riser but often walk at sunset.

Hello @Oaktree @Former-Member wondering where you're at with walking and other exercise. I'm still walking every day but often break for a few minutes halfway on a handy park bench. I've dipped out on resistance bands but am doing exercises for a dodgy back. Overall I'm making an effort but wish I was doing more.

I'd love to hear how you're going.

I stopped walking over xmas/newyears and just got back in from my walk this evening. Was a bit unfit. Need to do resistance bands again but have been slack. I was disappointed I put on several kgs this time of year but that is to be expected but yes back at it again @Dimity
