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 😁

Today's effort. 🤔

Don't know how accurate this is as it feels like I only left the house in the pm to drop some forms off at school. Spend the day with my mum who is weighed down at the moment and needed a shoulder. We had planned a walk and bike ride but didn't get that far.

Managed to walk the dog 6 out of 7 days this week, Wednesday it was too wet so we took ourselves to the big smoke and went to the movies. Made up for it yesterday with a picnic trip which included two short bush walks.

Not scolding at all Bro, just being light hearted. 😀😀😀. I have long worked out not to publish any new year resolutions I have as by day 3 they are a distant memory @Determined.
