And Chatty, you're in the thick of the heat wave, there in Vegas.

I know so many people who use weather as an excuse (and it is a good one!). Has anyone tried mall walking? I've heard of malls opening before 9 to give people access to the floors just outside of the stores so they can get their walks and or runs in. It's definitely a good way to avoid the high temps in the summer (and bad ozone), allergies in the spring and fall and low temps in the winter. I've never tried it (unless you count walking around the mall when the stores are open as exercise ;-), but would be interested to know what others think.

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	Does anyone actually know the added benefits, if any, to walking up a hill? Many more calories burnt, if so. Strength builder if it is. I haven't found any informstion on this. _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	As soon as it gets into the 80's I will begin walking again. But when we've had only three digit heats daily it's crazy to try to walk. I have even hung up my bike till the 90's return. It is going down at night now somewhat, so maybe in the evenings soon we will be walking. _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/

WellnessGR Registered: 07/14/09 Posts: 30	I noticed the gym isn't so packed yet during the first half of the week. I'm taking advantage of that, getting on the treadmill early. I'm sure it will be harder as as we approach Thanksgiving and other holidays...

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	I'm taking it you don't work from home? I love the cooler climates, but then again, I live in Alabama where our weather is called HUMIDITY. Period. What I've been doing is walking either later in the afternoon (when the sun has gone down a bit, or walking later in the morning, but before the sun gets so hot. Thirty minutes can make a lot of difference. I don't like to wait too long because I don't eat breakfast until I'm done with my walking. I don't like to eat too late in the morning because that throws off lunch, and dinner. I've really had no troubles adjusting to the time/sun difference...and we have daylight savings time change coming up, too. _________________________ Queen JJ www.queenjawjaw.com All Things Royal - 2010 and Beyond Humorist for the NABBW
