Self care- walking and cycling

Self care- walking and cycling

There used to be a thread around exercise but I couldn't find it so starting a new one.

Recently my GP has been lecturing me about more exercise in order to loose some weight reduce my blood pressure and get some other stress related ailments under control. Now is a good time for me to start as I have just started a 4 week study break from uni.

My goal is to do minimum 30 mins (target 1 hour) per day 5 days a week of either walking or cycling. Posting here as a form of accountability. I cant use the weather as an excuse as we have both a treadmill and an indoor cycle trainer 😁

Do you think the morning rides are a fad with your darling @Determined ?

I don't think so @Former-Member

It is something she genuinely wants to get back into for fitness/ weight loss.

I just realy hope it dosen't become a 200km + per week obsession like it was before her meltdown year. If she can keep it balanced it is actually quite good for her state of mind. When the OCD takes over not so good.

Managed a 3.5km walk with the family this afternoon. It wasn't exactly a calorie burning exercise but it was nice to be out as a family.

Have started a daily walk, not by choice, our hound is refusing to go alone with Mr Darcy and she needs her exercise.

BTW Did you hear about the fellow that proposed at the fitness centre and she said no ... It didn't work out. (Think his name was Jim).
