FAT CELLS HAVE MEMORY!!!
Hi everyone
:flowers:Many thanks for the very postive comments that is what is so supportive about this forum.
In answer to you question about what sort of activity I am doing it is power-walking. I got myself a pedometer and started at the beginning of October. I started off by just counting whatever I did in a week and tried to increase by 10% week on week.
I now have a few routes that I have walked that I know will give me about 10,000. Some days it is less and some days a bit more but I am definitely puffing a bit which is good so I am still getting a challenge. I can see changes - some inclines I did at first I could not do them with resting and really breathing heavily but my stamina is increasing.
Now I have taken to timing the walk so I will always aim to do an hour even if I do not get to the 10,000 every day.:chores016
Have not got a dog but pass many on my travels!)
Just started some gentle weights for my arms as I can see my legs and bum changing a bit and don't want to leave the arms behind.
I have got Vicki Entwistle's DVD too and I intend to use that now that I am a bit fitter(for days that are not so good for outside).
So my advice - get yourself a pedometer and no stopping you!
Maybe we should start a weekly pedometer challenge thread for motivation.
