have to say, I stopped walking for a couple of weeks due to swooping of birds and the weather and put on weight. I knew I had to do something so I could walk again. 

So I bought myself a treadmill. I placed it in front of my TV and have been walking every day on the treadmill. 

There are huge advantages for having a treadmill, such as:

  • If it’s dark outside you can walk inside. 
  • If it’s raining outside, you can walk anyway.
  • You can watch your favourite TV shows and walk. 
  • You can go on your treadmill at any time of day or night. 
There are also some disadvantages: 
  • Treadmills are bulky. They are sort of, in the way and are heavy to move out of the way, but not impossible. 
  • For some reason I walk less on a treadmill than if I was walking around outside.
  • At the beginning my legs hurt after the treadmill and I also felt a bit dizzy but after a week this went away. 
Do you have a treadmill? What is your favourite part of having a treadmill? Please comment below.

Testing, testing day two

  Image via:  https://theincmagazine.com/the-history-of-10000-steps/ When you first set out to exercise day one is fully pumped, yet it’s what comes next which is most important.  Day two. I thought I would go for a walk for an hour and I assumed in that time I would walk 10,000 steps. Because yesterday I went for a longer walk and reached 10,000 steps…. Oooh, I just worked it out. This makes sense now. After my walk today, I got home, all proud of myself. I checked my step counter and I had done 6,000 steps. I was disappointed and I didn’t want to go back out for a second walk.  But as I said above, I just realised why an hour didn’t give me the result I was seeking. Because yesterday I went for an hour and twenty minute walk which gave me the 10,000 steps not an hour. Oh silly me. Oh well.  Anyway, what I wanted to say was, did I achieve my goal when I said I wanted to walk 10,000 steps a day and I only walked 6,000 steps?  The answer is yes. Here is why....

Would you walk on your weekend?

  Image via:  https://becomenomad.com/using-your-weekends-to-explore/ Good morning walkers, So this morning I decided it’s the weekend and I am going to be up early. I was have a full day planned so I thought I could either not go for a walk today or do it first thing in the morning before my day began.  And that’s what I did. Today I woke up at six in the morning and was out walking by 6:45. I did check the amount of steps around 7am, which was about 2,000. I really wanted to finish hahaha but I kept going.  I kept going and even walked further forward so I knew it would take longer to get back. Then when I decided it was time to turn around, I didn’t just walk straight back (as much as I wanted to), I went down a hill and around the block and even when there were two sections I could have diverted home quicker, I decided to keep going the long way home.  I knew I wouldn’t make 10,000 steps. I really didn’t think I would make 5,000 steps. Especially when the de...
