LJ Idol Season 11, Week 6: Solvitur ambulando

[quiltingdragon]

Walking did wonders the first time I needed to lose weight and start getting my body healthy. It opened up new worlds, and the weight began to fall off. Now that I am on medical leave from most outdoor exercise, I miss it, like an ache. I can’t wait to get back outside. I’m doing my walking inside for now.

Five years ago, I would have suggested you

I HATED running in school. Walking...well, I can walk for miles. I never object to walking and much more joint-friendly.

It's nice to hear a success story. I made a conscious decision to not bring a car here to Cleveland so that I would do more walking. So far so good.

Nerd running/walking sounds AMAZING.
Maybe I'll look into it, too! I used to walk loads (also about 4 or 5 miles a day) but have gotten lazy and I can feel my body starting to change. :(

I am so sorry about your mother and your health problems. I'm glad you're able to go on your walks again. I hope you're able to keep it up.

Walking can do so much good as exercise, and that club sounds like a neat motivator (heck, just like fun in general).

Good luck with this! It has clearly worked well for you before, and I'm glad you'll be able to get outside again soon. That makes such a difference. :)
