Keeping fit, staying strong

[Kimmyh]

I try to do about an hour per night on the Wii fit which also includes running laps up and down the passage (funny I know but it works) because I have no one to walk with and children in bed at 7pm. Really wished we could all walk together. Imagine the conversations and how quickly the time would pass!

I really think you need someone to walk with, not much fun on your own and besides that there is safety in numbers.  Dogs are great but not everyone has one.   I'll be with you all in spirit as I just can't do it at the moment even though I probably should.

That's funny. My DH bought me a wii fit for my birthday a couple if years ago, and I'm ashamed to say that I've never used it. Perhaps I should get him to plug the wii back in for me. Mind you,  the kids would never get to sleep if I started running up and down the hallway- they would laugh themselves silly as I huffed and puffed past their bedrooms

We live in a small cul-de-sac with 12 homes in it and years ago, at night, I would walk up & down the street and around the cul-de-sac for 1/2 hour once DH was in bed.  Felt rather stupid but I wasn't game to go out of the street in case someone grabbed me.

Oh I huff and puff too and DH is no support, he just laughs. But guess what I have lost 16kgs and even though it took almost 16 months, i don't care as I feel great.

I wouldn't wander around my neighbourhood at night either Judy. Not even with my ferocious boxer who would probably stink any offenders to death
I exercise any time of day except nighttime

Good on you Kimmy

Done my first 3 mins on rebounder.

Going for an hour walk after lunch, with a stop off for a cuppa with old friend on way to/from post office.

Walking around here is very safe. Big village lots of funny little side streets and cut throughs, we even have hills too, lots of houses and gardens to look at ( while pretending I am not looking, of course).

Two more x 3 mins to fit in later.

 I feel better already knowing you are all doing this too.

Well done Jess

We are with you all the way. I will go for a nice walk around the boardwalk tomorrow, as long as it isn't raining!

Well done DJ and enjoy your walk.

Before I got my little dog, I never used to go for long walks, however, now that I have had her for nearly 3 years I walk with her for at least 30 minutes each morning, she gets so excited about going on her walk to the park.

We are lucky we have a park across the road from us at home, and at work, there is a park just across the road.
I also listen to talking books on my iPod so don't miss not having someone to walk with.

Can anyone recommend a step counter/ pedometer free app for iPhone?

My old phone had a pedometer... Will see if still works without contract.

I walk twice a day with the dog.Probably wouldn't if we didn't have him.I try to do least an hour on each walk.Yesterday morning walked in torrential rain for an hour and even the inside of my wellies were wet because the rain was running down my legs You really can't be "fair weathered" if you own a dog So DJ I'm with you

[droverjess]

That's good CC. Thanks to everyone.

Done 30 mins fast walk today, plus 2 x 3 mins on rebounder. 1 more session to go later.

Feel better already! LOL.

Tomorrow arranged walk with neighbour for the morning  plus dogs and have a friend coming over so will be walking after lunch too.

Of course if I get called out first thing it all stops!

[EmeraldSue]

Morning- I'm off for my walk.
