Walking!!!!
Yes, I'm really getting into the fitness thing.
I was never much of a gym rat. I disliked gym class, I was never any good at sports, I'm not very coordinated. I like swimming and walking.
Six years ago, I lost 70 pounds. Gained it all back, unfortunately, but at least I know how to do it...
I walked it off, with occasional forays into the pool. Back then, I was still a member of the Y, could use their pool and their track, though I avoided the rooms with all the fancy equipment -- too insecure to use the treadmill or Stairmaster....
I don't really have a place to go to swim these days, but walking...well, all you really need for walking is a comfortable pair of shoes.
In nice weather -- spring through fall -- you can walk almost anywhere. go to the park, go to the beach, or just walk through your own neighborhood.
I'll have to make a Plan B for the winter, of course, but that's months and months away.
In the meantime, I'm enjoying my strolls on the boardwalk.
Can I sing the praises of my Fitbit once again? It keeps me honest and it keeps me motivated. I've been walking a lot more since I put that thing on my wrist. Maybe it's because I love electronic gadgets.
