Great idea Thomasb41, I think I might get one of those gadgets. I need to walk more aswell, also my dog is overweight, the vet chastises me each time we visit, my doggy has a thyroid problem, I feed her correctly, but I am laxed in the excercise department. So if I tie her and my needs together, then hey.. we'll both benefit. So thanks Thomas for your post.

Hello Thomas, Good to hear from you.


They tell us that we need to exercise, MmMm I am sure this is so. My advice would have to be, exercise while you are able.

Before the knees wear out, or such

God Bless

Walkin

I just got back from a lovely walk. I often use my walk time alone as a time special with Jesus and I. Today was the first alone walk in awhile and it was so great to be walking with my very best friend. Sometimes my thoughts went to other things as I walked but I guess that is how I am when walking with anyone. I love to enjoy the beauty of God's creation and great if exercise comes as a part of that!

The trouble that I have is that so often I want to make myself get tons of things done before I can go for a walk. This morning, I grabbed a banana and put my shoes on before I talked myself into doing all kinds of things around the house.

Happy walking!
True

I recommend the following (assuming you do not have knee pain)

- drink plenty of water
- sprint a few times
- job / walk mix at least 1 mile a day
- wear good quality (cushion, force) sneakers when running

Jogging/running can help you lose overall body fat, especially the stomach area.

re: walking

Walking is something I do every day with my dogs. The problem is they want to slow down and sniff or even leave their scent on a tree. I like for them to enjoy the walk as well.

Problem is..I don't think I am using enough speed to strengthen the heart and give you more stamina. So I think doing a little sprinting might help.

I have an Australian blue tic cattle dog and a Chiauchua that looks like the oppposite coloring of Bambi the deer...white with brown spots.

I don't get that much excersize walking my Chiauchua dog.

I also put lotion on my face that protects from the sun's rays.

Have fun :shade:

oh yeah! It's all about cardio!!!

How do some of you motivate yourself to work out? I actually like to excerise, but I have a hard time motivating myself.

motivation for excersize

It never fails that anytime one of my family relatives or a friend
that had to go to hospital or doctor for serious heart and cardio
problems..
they were told to take walks on a regular basis.

I have had problems with my veins being sluggish ,causing pain when I lay down to sleep.

Walking causes less injury on the joints, so my doctor told me to walk at least
three times a week to keep the blood flowing easier through my veins.

He said it will also give me more energy and good for relieving stress.

Just make it interesting for yourself. Some young people llisten to music while they walk .

I prefer listening to nature if its around ( some live in cities).

Read the other posts as well, they have already mentioned a few ideas.
You might prefer biking or excerise with a video using catchy music and excersizing moves.

There are also Gospel excersize videos out there.

Good Luck and think about what your gaining for yourself.
