My husband and I started
walking
early in the mornings October 2010. He is a diabetic so he was
walking for
health reasons and I, for weight loss.
I was really excited that we were exercising together but by mid 2011
we both
got lazy and stopped walking.
My husband is an electrician and works in the construction field so he
gets his
daily exercise. I however am in the accounting field so my job entails
that I
be at my desk a lot. With that being said I have to make an extra
effort to get
my daily exercise.
In June 2011 we went to my home town, Trinidad, for a vacation and on a
few
mornings I went walking. One morning I went walking up a hill
and
my right
knee began hurting me. I had to walk very slow as I thought I would
not have
been able to make it back to my car. I had to get a stick to walk with
by transferring
my weight onto the stick. I eventually made it back to my car. That
stick turned out to be cheap
auto insurance - I was so
relieved.
I recently had another injury while walking, I got water bladders under
my
feet! Can you believe that? Maybe it was due to the fact what I walked
with my
slippers because I forgot my sneakers at home that day. I was very
surprised by
this injury. I would then have to wait until my injuries heal before I
exercise
again.
Well of course there was always an excuse for me to not re
start walking again. So I said to myself that this ridiculous
and I need to so something. So I decided to look for some
walking videos. I found these, they are very good so you have
no excuse not to do some sort of
exercise. The workouts are simple and can be done at home, the videos
is
free.
There is no equipment to
purchase, must click on the play icon and start walking. One
thing though, I found that I enjoyed my sessions better with my ear
plugs. I don't get enough volume on my computer but if you
have external speakers attached to your computer, great!!!
You need to clearly hear the beat of the music to keep up
with the power walking.

That was great wasn't it? I started to get tired but I
persisted. I got really motivated to learn that I had just
walked 2 miles and I got a great sweat too. Could you believe
it??? Awesome!!!!
