DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! 12,703 Posted February 24, 2013 When I first started walking, I could barely make it to the end of my street. I walked with a cane and every single step hurt. By the time I went to the corner and back I thought I might collapse in the driveway. But, I kept doing it day after day, slowly going a little further week after week. Now...I walk 2 miles a day (weather permitting) and I love it. No more cane either. In fact, if I'm not feeling good, I go walk because I know it'll make me feel so much better. Just push yourself to do it, you'll feel so much better both physically and mentally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rojasanoll 920 Posted February 24, 2013 WE all know YOU can do this! Put your walking shoes on and go. It doesn't have to be long mileage, many short brusts to increase heart rate and then back down. Instead of using elevator to go to 2nd or 3rd floor, walk the stairs, carefully and slowly. Over time it will get easier when you start dropping the weight. Best wishes 1 ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
