Guest guest Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Hi Jeanne: I walk daily no matter what the weather. Rather than view walking as 'exercise', I consider walking my 'transportation' to stores, clinics, libraries, etc. When I don't have a destination, I walk around our local lake and feed peanuts to the wild birds like coots and crows, who recognize me and come running or flying when I approach. There are even a few red wing blackbirds and black capped chickadees, who land on my hand to take a peanut. I don't have difficulty getting out to walk on sunny days. However, I'm less inclined on cold, rainy days. So I create destinations or routes, which I vary daily to avoid boredom. Above all, I remind myself how much better I will feel once I get into my walk. SUE > > Hi, > > Laurie, I know your post was directed to Fiona, but I've been struggling with getting back into my walking program since I took a hiatus starting Sep 09 due to the weather (love walking outside in the fresh air far more than on a treadmill) and my laziness. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can give myself a gentle kick out the door? > > Jeanne > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
