Guest guest Posted November 25, 2000 Report Share Posted November 25, 2000 Barb: Yes, I see that now, after reading the other messages, I am trying to increase my walks to 60 mins a day. I will let all of you know how my levels turn out after I finally get up to that level of exercise, I am slowly increasing every day, but may take a while to get up to the full one hour. The weather on the Cape is so changeable this time of year.....rain, snow, sleet nor dread of night....ohh thats something else.....but I plan to walk regardless... hugs For 24 hour news, arts, and chat on the web: www.womr.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 25, 2000 Report Share Posted November 25, 2000 Teri Thanks, that is good to know, but I struggle to find the time to get out there to do it ...so I like to do it all at one if I can.....this exercise thing is all new to me....but I am very very determined. But I will try to break it up as you say, maybe that will make it easier to get out more often. Thanks for the suggestion.

I go to the mall and do my walk there. Scenerey isn't as nice but I bring a book on tape and it helps pass the time while I'm walking.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2000 Report Share Posted November 25, 2000 , For now, you can do your 60 minutes in more than one session if you need to. With my arthritis and asthma, I can't do 60 minutes at once, so I walk more than once a day.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2000 Report Share Posted November 25, 2000 You're welcome. I guess I should admit here that I cheat a bit. I have a treadmill in my office. (I work from home) Hang in there!

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2000 Report Share Posted November 25, 2000 Vicki, living in Washington, our weather is about the same as yours in Portland. I went and got myself an early holiday gift, an exercise bike that sits like a chair. I got it at wal-mart for $99.95 and its great. It tells you miles, speed, calories burned, and time. I only pay attention to the miles myself. My target right now is 20 miles a day,most days I make it. I try to do 5 miles at a time,anything just so I hit my target of 20 miles a day. I don't have to worry about the weather,or going out of the house to do my exercise. And its so comfortable,those other exercise bikes were so uncomfortable I could never go very long on them.
