Deluge in Lancs ! .

Given the weather forecast for today & no real reason to go out, it will be a challenge to maintain the activity, so will crack open the Sod Sitting Get Moving book again & try to remember to get up out of the chair every half hour whilst getting stuck into the latest Rebus or playing Jewel Quest on Nintendo !!

You could go for a walk Berylsmum it's a good exercise.

Put some music on and have a dance round the room, that will get you moving! lol

Have a good day.

Morning

I try and do 250 steps every hour - even if it means marching on the spot

Good luck with the exercise

Morning 😊

I would never have thought to cut steps down into blocks of 250 at a time.

Thanks for the great suggestion!

Have a good day. 😊

There are some fabulous indoor walks/exercise routines in YouTube. Try Lesley Sansom lucigret is a real advocate of her walks. They are quite fun and quite energetic but you can just do what you want to.

Have fun getting moving!

If you try out a Lesley Sansom walk I suggest you start with the 15 minute 1 mile happy walk first and work your way up. You don't need loads of room, I manage it in my sitting room, although on nice days I take the laptop into the garden and do it. It is quite invigorating and makes you feel like you have done something worthwhile exercise wise.

Thank you Ceals , I have to admit I haven't done one for a while, I shall go out and do one later, no doubt with Simon falling about laughing at me, I doubt I will get him to join in.

[Ceals in reply to lucigret]

Well, just think of all the endorphins created by all that happy laughter!

Berylsmum I also hoola hoop. I set my watch for an hour and do five minutes hooping, quite energetic and lots of time spent bending down to pick up the hoop! Soon as I have finished I set my watch again.

I like to do it in the garden, largely not overlooked but have builders at the moment so instead of making this an excuse I do it in my bedroom - just about enough space.

[lucigret in reply to Ceals]

I think you should get out and give the builders something to talk about. Get them hoola hooping as well 🤣

[Ceals in reply to lucigret]

Nice try lucigret can't see it happening!

[Needtodosomething in reply to lucigret]

Hi Lucigret

I have heard a few people talking about Leslie Sansom walks. I'll check that out, (together with the book you mentioned).

Thanks for the suggestions. 😊

[lucigret in reply to Needtodosomething]

Well I had hoped to do a walk today, but my daughter in law and grandson have only just left! They have been here since 10am. I should be very pleased that she is happy to spend so much time with us and I am, just wasn't expecting her to stay after the dentist. Ended up doing tea for her and my son - so no time to walk today. I may look that book up as well - I think it was Beryl that mentioned it.

[Needtodosomething in reply to lucigret]

Hi lucigret ... the best laid plans can so easily go awry! As you say, it's lovely that your daughter-in-law and grandson wanted to spend so much time with you ... 😊

I looked at the 1 mile walk on YouTube, but I'm afraid that's as far as I got! It looks like the exact thing I was looking for ... no exercise equipment, a brief workout, with great health benefits.

Hope we both manage a 'walk' tomorrow!

Enjoy the rest of your night.

Hi Berylsmum, Thank you for heads up about book. I can't wait for mine to arrive. Enjoy.😊

You can get walking dvd's 1,2 and 3 miles. (10,20 and 30 minutes times) When get that miserable weather outside Lesley Sanome which was also mention in another message. I like her very much and you can get different strengths.
