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 😁

Due to wet weather the madam missed out on her daily stroll for two days and was not happy. Got a stroll in this afternoon so back in the dog's good books.

3200 steps today.

Ended up doing a drive to collect some odds and ends that were my aunt's. Stuff that was going to get dumped if I did not want it.

Aiming to walk to work tomorrow if I get out of bed early enough.

Re: Self care- walking and cycling

Went walking with my man and the madam today after a two day break - hubby and hound were both on edge about the situation so needed to make the effort.
