Let’s Go Walking! Join me for a virtual walking support group
Many of you living with cancer or an autoimmune disease, like me, deal with daily fatigue. You know that exercise is so important to your health, but it’s so hard. There’s always an excuse: it’s too cold or hot, it’s going to rain or it’s raining, or it’s snowy and icy, or I just don’t want to. I, too, have all these excuses, but I have a new rescue dog who wants to go out and who doesn’t care about my excuses! And I’ve got traction devices for my boots.Now I just need a walking group who will keep me accountable. People who say, ‘let’s go for a walk.'
And I thought: What about my virtual friends on MayoClinicConnect?
Mayo Clinic has an easy 12-week walking program to get us started! Here’s the link:
- Get walking with this 12-week walking schedule https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/get-walking-with-this-12-week-walking-schedule/
So let’s form a virtual walking group. We can agree to walk every day and encourage each other through Connect. We can walk outdoors, in a mall, or in the red center, or in the hallways of our apartment building.
Who’s in? Who’s going to join me?
Come on, Let’s Go Walking!

@mayofeb2020 Sure wish I was with my grandchildren on grandparents day. We settled for the two grand dogs! They cane along with my son and his wife. Sat on the deck and social distanced. Still not feeling great so no walking for me. Have done some exercises at home, though.
@mayofeb2020 Same to you wish Zi also could see my grandson miss him but one of these days I walked in stores today Got my flu shot at CVS don't forget yours Then walked in Albertsons so that tuckered me out nap time
Way to go!! I need to get my flu shot too, however my Dr recommended that I wait until toward the end of Sept or early Oct
@jude07 I usually get mine on Oct but was at CVS and only 1ahead of me with coronavirus also thought I get it
I think it’s a good idea, since it has been said that it takes two weeks before it really is effective. Glad you got yours.

1 Reaction@loness, I've lost access too. I tried to go to my profile....checked the grps to follow but don't know how to "sign back in"? So frustrating...can access through a much earlier "daily digest" but can't get back the walking and few others?
@fiesty76 I logged back in on home page I don't know maybe someone smarter then me can help with more information ☺️
