Exercise for starters

vaneramosAfter grunting and groaning about it for several days, I went for a good walk this afternoon. If I want to make a habit out of it, planning a few days before I start usually works better. But today is such a beautiful day, I did it partly as an excuse to get outside and away from the desk. I'll take whatever motivation comes.
Thanks![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
apel for suggesting The Walking Site; I like a lot of the suggestions there. I forgot to time the walk, but estimate I warmed up for five minutes including a sun salutation to stretch, walked vigorously in the woods for 20 minutes, then did another sun salutation and warmed down. It was a little more rigorous than the website recommended for a first time, but I am not all terribly out of shape. It felt like just a little push, and I arrived back invigorated.
Actually, mid afternoon is an excellent time for me to take a break. I intend to do it again tomorrow.
