@contentandwell I am going to report each week to those who want to participate. Since I started this, I think it's important that I am accountable. That's always been my weakness in exercise---not being accountable and then just sliding away from what I intended to do. Having others along was the main reason I mentioned this plan. I don't know if diet tips will be a part, but some who are interested may share food-related tips. You don't have to walk outside. I can't walk outside, so I'll use my treadmill. One of the neatest ways I heard lately was house walking. Follow a trail through the rooms of your home. I have a two story house so going up and down stairs and through my rooms would be good for me---maybe one of these days. For now, it will be the treadmill. Exercise is like Diabetes, everyone is different so we just have to see what works for each of us. See what you think.

I am so excited. Today was the end of Week 2 of Lighten Your Limbs. I made it adding the extra speed and am ready for Week 3 when the brisk walk is 9 minutes, with 5 minutes to warm up and 5 minutes to cool down. That's 19 minutes---not much to feel stronger and be healthier. I hope everyone is still along. I'll be on the road again tomorrow.
