Hiya

The Shire is finished!

This is the first Conqueror challenge I did with walking, the ones before I did with running. But I don't run anymore now. It took me a while to finish this Shire challenge, but over time it has helped me in getting a bit of regularity in getting some kind of exercise. I now try to walk every day, even though it is on most days only 30 minutes / 2K each day. But for lazy old me this is a real succes.

I mostly walk on my treadmill and have installed a portable DVD player before the treadmill. So now I watch movies while walking, which is a big help in getting these 30 minutes of walking each day.

Next challenge is The Fellowship I think. Ad I might add some rides on my hometrainer / indoor bike besides my walks so I can mix exercise types.

Cheers,Evy

Woohoo!!! Awesome! I think that's brilliant! I've not done very much this week (1 run,1 S&F session) and feel very guilty. So I'm mightily impressed!

I have not done anything today either. I try each day to walk 2K, do some abs exercises and plank for 60 seconds. But today I did nothing. And honestly, they promise 40°C on Tuesday. I don't know if I won't just take a week off from exercises due to the heat...

Great well done on your Conqueror challenge and on your 30 min exercise every day. Was out a short walk this morning trying out new trail shoes only 25/mins. Not looking forward to this couple of days of heat.

in reply toDoris8

Me neither. I don't like the cold, but I really suffer in the heat. Couple of years ago I got dehydrated and over-tired due to the heat in July. Doc wanted to write me home for a week to recuperate, but I could not stay home cuz lots of colleagues were on vacation. Dragged it along for months until I fell ill in November after all. Really have to push and remind myself to drinks lots of water. And to not push my body too hard in heavy heat.

Not what you're looking for?
