I have been out most days but not actually tracking the walks or posting about them but today was a suggested increase from the rehab team .Basically 10 minutes light warm up walk followed by 20 minutes at a perceived effort of 13 on the Borg scale followed by another 10 minutes light cool down walk .
I actually chose a route that I used on the early weeks of C25k.
I'm only supposed to do 5 days out of 7 so a couple of days off now .
It's slow progress, but progress non the less 🙂
Well done to you Ian on that 40 minutes 🚶 walk, ✅👍also, those are five beautiful photos you took during your walk, that's a new one for me, the Borg scale, nice that you chose a route that you used in the early weeks of C25K, I wish you well on your progress ✅👍
Thanks Alan , much appreciated 🙏The Borg scale is a rating of perceived effort. (RPE)
Borg's RPE scale .
It goes from 6 up to 20
Where 6 is no exertion at all
And 20 being maximum exertion.
I have been asked to keep at 13 which is:
'Somewhat hard, breathing slightly heavier than normal' 🙂
That's great news Ian! Well done you. Hope the rehab continues to go well. It's a lovely time of year to be getting out and about🤗
Thanks Diane, still a little nervous but I guess that will take time !
Wishing you well in your progress to full recovery.
Thank you 🙏
Progress indeed... and beautiful photographs in the bargain x
My early c25k routes 😊
Lovely pics, great to hear you’re starting to get out, wishing you all the best for your rehab 😊
Thank you so much 🙏
Glad to see you out walking again Ian. Great that you have a rehab programme to follow…I’m guessing that these are tried and tested, like the C25k plan, so should help build your confidence about beginning to exercise again.
Lovely photos too…👍🏼😄
Wow! I think that’s mighty progress! Fabulous. And hopefully it’s fun revisiting your C25k route!
