So, here I am back with the update for Day 3.
medium.com/@The_Fitness_Hab...
A big change today was that I started my morning walk by 5:30 am and by 7 am had logged 10,000 steps. It felt damn good. Early morning time is truly magical. This morning walk will be my one keystone habit forever.
All right my fellow fitness musketeers — Back tomorrow with Day 4
Just remember — Win each day!
Would be delighted to hear any comments/suggestions from this wonderful fitness community.
Cheers!
That is an incredible number of steps! How earth do you have any energy left for the rest of the day?
Thanks, Oolong! It is a bit counterintuitive but the Human Body is quite magical the harder you make it work the more it can do and vice-versa.
Just consider the extreme example of Army / Navy Special Forces all over the world - they can run 100 Kms carrying a full battle load of 17 Kgs after a week of gruelling commando training during which they have hardly slept about 7 to 10 hours in the entire week!!
You can watch some of these incredible feats on Youtube.
Also, do check out hurt100.com/about-hurt100/ - The Hawaiian Ultra Running Team’s Trail 100-Mile Endurance Run, referred to as the “HURT100”, is a very difficult event designed for the adventurous and well-prepared ultrarunner.
At the end of the day, all these people who accomplish such ultratough challenges are still just human beings! - So, if they can do it - I am just walking 18,000 steps 
Ultimately, it's all a mind game. If you can win over your mind - you can do anything!
However, increase your efforts little by little each day. Don't overdo on day 1
Sound advice but I am unwell, in pain, fat, unfit and over 50 - I think I am a long way off but have to start somewhere!
I agree with enigma the more you do the more you want to do.
Sounds like you just need to wake up your body and tell it you're ready to move a little bit.
Whatever you pick make it something you like to do or can fit naturally into your day. Like walking to the store. Walking even a little bit can make a big difference.
Even standing more can do it. If you sit a lot try a standing desk or stand for half of a TV show.
Any movement is good for your body. It doesn't have to be a marathon. It just has to work for you. 🙂
Good point, any movement is good - I do need to move more!
Thank you. I am taking baby steps and starting with cutting out sugar and less carbs. My body has a long way to go to recovery. Walking a mile would be huge, no marathons for me!!
Oh and get outside. When I'm feeling down on myself and need to clear my head, a 10 minute walk outside makes all the difference.
Today is the day!
only day 3 but I have never felt better
