@angelcats Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect!
Lace up your shoes, or, velcro them closed. If you are in a wheelchair, or on a walking assistance device like a cane, make sure everything is ready to go. [Personally I use two walking sticks for balance!] Dress for the weather wherever you happen to be. And get outside! You don't need to go a long distance, just what is comfortable for you. Got a dog, or a family member there with you? Take them along! Breathe in fresh air, see the sights, listen to the world around you. Repeat as many times a week as you want, going further each time, or making it a routine.
Come back and tell us about your walk. It doesn't need to be anything fancy. We want to experience what joy you find walking.
