Re: Walking early AM instead of workouts

[Guest guest]

Shouldn't do, unless you have joint problems that can't take that exercise

on top of your BFL cardio. Sounds like a great idea actually, and all

exercise has benefits. You may also find that the early walking will help

to get your muscles nicely warmed up and help with aches and pains.

You can walk as much as you want. It will help. I walk 45 minutes to an hour

every morning, not as part of some fat burning effort, but mainly because I

enjoy it and my dogs are insane. The more active you are throughout the day, the

easier it is to create a calorie deficit and reach your goals.

If you're walking at 5am. Be sure to get in a meal or two a couple of hours

before the real workout at 11.

I just wanted to add that if you're walking at 5am, be careful... (carry

pepper spray?) not just of potential criminals, but stray animals too.

Not to mention getting all that fresh air so early in the morning is

very invigorating. I love it.

It is legal in some places. I got my pepper spray from a police

shop. I would also recommend practicing with your spray...you want

to be able to use it without having to think about it. One of the

most common problems with the use of pepper spray is accidentally

spraying yourself. Practicing can help prevent this.

Hope this helps,

Another thing to consider is to vary your route so you are not

taking the same path every day. I used to jog early mornings with my

first Dobe and we took a different path each day just in case anyone

was watching me, i didn't want them to know a " set routine " . I also

carried pepper spray but it was a gift so I don't know where they

got it.

I'm sure pepper spray is legal for self-defense... but to be sure... you

might want to check the laws where you live, and maybe ask someone at the

local police department what their recommendations are.

I used to jog at that hour... and loved smelling the breakfast cooking in

various households I passed along the way. The air IS different after the

dew has washed it clean!

I know its legal in RI. I had a thing of it in my glove compartment

for when I go walking at night. My bf had never seen it before and

thought it was a lighter! (I used to smoke) So, he tried to " light "

it...after it hit me in the face, it hit the girl at the Dunkin

Donuts drive thru (we WERE getting coffee) and was able to sting the

eyes of several other people in the immediate area. The police came

and it took a short while to explain to them WHY it happened and that

it was not a love triangle-which is what they thought it was when the

call came over the radio. My dog was hysterical and trying to bite

the cop (he was in the back of the Jeep)-it wasn't funny at the time,

but now whenever we drive by that donut shop (which I have NEVER

returned to) I tell my bf to stay out of my glove compartment! So, if

you are going to have it, make SURE you know how to use it properly.

My eyes stung SO bad for HOURS afterward as well as the skin on my

face, hands, neck, chest and even my scalp!
