Glad you returned from your trip healthy!
And thank you for the pointers about considering rest and building stamina as we go along the way. I'd set my goal for 3x's/week to develop the habit and thus far have managed to do my Tues/Thurs &Sat walks as planned. Consistency with exercise is a challenge for me so developing the self-discipline muscle is as important to me as the good feelings of having done the walks.

Hello @fiesty76 and everyone
Consistency is so important because that is how you see the most benefits. I do think it is good to keep moving in some way. Just one other thought, I know we are talking about walking but swimming or water exercises would serve the same purpose for those that like the water more than land. I prefer the land myself. Also, if the weather is bad and holds you back how about putting on some music with energy and dancing round the room. I have done that at times and it is surprising how arobic that can be. Just as good as walking. Maybe that would work for @becsbuddy at the moment. Or you could use waltz music if you want something more gentle. How about some Wagner and The Blue Danube? My Mother used to dance around the house and she lived to be 97.
