Walking

[Vic39]

Not counted calories yet, going to start new year. Not walked or exercised for a while. Did 14k steps on a very long and painfully slow walk. Very patient kids and hubby, feeling quiet proud of myself. Felt like I was going to keel over a few times, hopefully will get fitter over the months to come. Am ready for a new me.

Wow - that's a lot of steps, well done!

Well done! That is a great start. You need a plan now to keep it up. I have found that aiming for 10k steps a day is too daunting a target. However, when I don't think about it, I get there most days. I never get the shopping delivered, I go to the supermarket and shop for it myself - good couple of thousand steps to do that. I get on and off the tube a stop or two earlier and later - another couple of thousand steps each day. I go for a 30 min walk at lunchtime - could be up to 5k steps depending on my pace. Before I know it, I've done it most days. I do a 5k walk at least one of the weekend days, if not both. Build walking into your day, you'll be surprised how quickly it builds up your stamina. Good luck!

That's fantastic, 14k is a lot of steps! You're right to be proud of yourself
