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 😁

I was planning to walk to work this morning but at 5.30 another 5 mins turned into an hour before I opened my eyes again so I had to drive to make it on time.

Tomorrow maybe...

Am walking the hound most days, Mr Darcy does not like it if she misses her daily stroll. Don't think it has made a difference to my weight and would still likely be classified as unfit but am finding the walking a little bit easier now.

Finally managed to get up for 5.30 am bike ride this morning and we were blanked in fog so safety rules that out.

We did manage a longish walk with S2 & S3 into town for some breakfast which while hot was nice to be out.
