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 😁

Way to go @Determined! Was this a different route than you usually do?

Walking around at a trade show @Ali11 😊

Yesterday was 6 k steps walking around botanical gardens and bird sanctuary 😊

Quite steep on so bonus points I reckon.

@Determined For sure that is worth bonus points. I expect the gardens was much more peaceful than the trade show!

Wet weather = no dog walks 2 or 3 days this last week but managed a stroll this afternoon.
