jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	Jackie, WELCOME! How smart of you to recognize the benefits from the get-go. I too found that after a brisk walk, I had MORE energy and just had to do something in house. I couldn't just sit down. So it was very uplifting while I was walking knowing something in my house was going to get a cleaning when I returned! LOL! I also found that the headsets with music playing kept me "in the mood" to walk quicker. Welcome to the forums. We hope that you enjoy the community and will make this your home away from home! _________________________ Queen JJ www.queenjawjaw.com All Things Royal - 2010 and Beyond Humorist for the NABBW

JackieG Registered: 06/25/08 Posts: 82	Thanks for the welcome! I like walking with my niece because we can talk, ya know - LOL - I enjoy that - but, I agree with you, if I ever walk alone music is very motivating.

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	Here's a tip that one of the ladies here in the forum gave us a while back. If it's raining and you can't walk, get two cans of any soup, hold one in each hand, and simply MARCH whenever a commercial comes on TV, or when you have 10-15 minutes you can do so...or if you have the time (who does?) march for 30 minutes, or whatever the length of your usual walking time. Doesn't have to be soup either...it could be books or any other heavy object that would have the same resistance. No bowling balls, though...LOL! _________________________ Queen JJ www.queenjawjaw.com All Things Royal - 2010 and Beyond Humorist for the NABBW

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	JJ thats my idea, and it works. I use two pound weights and whenever a commercial comes on TV, I march in place. You can also jump on a stationary bike during each commercial, its easy and it works as well as any outdoor exercise... . _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/

At one time, we ahd a couple younger gals here and I loved hearing their voices. It's nice to have younger friends. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

humlan Registered: 04/15/07 Posts: 1341 Loc: Sweden	I love returning to this thread..I always get inspired by you all..and I can use all the push I can get. I have become sooo lazy! I have an active jobb..with small kids..and I do my yoga every evening..but none of that really builds you up and gives you good physical stamina (can´t think of the exact word in English..sorry) Anyway..good luck everyone!!! _________________________ "some sacred place.."

hotflashgal Registered: 03/31/07 Posts: 191 Loc: New Jersey	I started the Walking Away the Pounds program by Leslie Sansone on May 13th. In combination with watching what I am eating, not depriving just watching, I have lost 7 pounds and inches too. It has been pretty hot and humid here, and I know that I wouldn't be disciplined enough to walk outside, so this has really been an answer for me. I have several DVD's now and mix in light resistance now. I find them to be very kind on the knees and a good match for me. _________________________ Customize & Personalize Invites for all occasions at Night Sweats Diva and Be My Valentine

Cookie Member Registered: 06/02/06 Posts: 753 Loc: USA	I get up at 5AM to walk everyday before it gets hot. But of lately, I have been having a hard time to get moving at that hour....yawn. It takes me another 30 minutes to get moving out the door. I must be getting old and slow!

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Cookie, is it still dark at that time? I life walking early this time of year, but can't stand walking when it's still dark in the mornings. I definitely need to soak up the light when walking. It's another reason I walk. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

Cookie Member Registered: 06/02/06 Posts: 753 Loc: USA	Dotsie, it is dawn when I start my walk. The sun is starting to come up after I have walked 15 minutes. Simply beautiful and quiet at that time of morning. It is my quiet time to pray and be thankful. And looking at that sunrise each day is a beautiful sight... Another one of God's masterpieces.
