Walking/exercise?

I have been enjoying walking a lot more for a while now. With the onset of Spring, walks are a welcome leisure activity for me, along with jogging outside. It is refreshing to see the natural sceneries instead of being cooped up inside most of the time.

I remember the longest walk I ever did, from what I can recall, was last year. I was walking endlessly the whole day on a city tour. By the time I got back home, my legs were stiff! I can hardly move. I took a relaxing day after that to be able to get relief for my stiffened legs. It was great though. Although tiring, I loved my walking:-)

I can't walk much because of my back but I spent Saturday taking apart that dumb shed that blew over and I'm still sore! I hurt everywhere!! You'll feel better in a few days, keep up the good work!

I walk alot....but not as much as I used to. I used to walk around one of our lakes at least 4/5 times a week. Now I just do a block or two as my knees are getting bad....but this weekend at the mall I did alot of walking so I didn't stiffen up sitting all the time...the walking felt good!

Hi Grandpa Bob. I know what you are talking about. The same thing has happened to me before. It hurts like the dickens.. so I would end up walking 3 times a week rather than every day. I don't walk as much now as I used to because of the arthritis in my back.. but I still do try to get out and walk the dog every day.

due to the winter we have been inside alot...and it is sad because I hate the snow and yet I live in michigan...LOL ...so we have felt a little trapped inside and major cabin fever this year...probably because I now have 2 kids and they both need to get out...LOL

I do excercise every morning, well not so much in the last week as I was sick and then I kinda got off track, but I have dance workout videos, or weight training videos, or just plain excercise workout videos... I love to work out at home, I have my own weights... and my dvds... I dont like going to the gym to do this because I dont have that much time... so I workout at home.

I know walking outside is much different than working out...so when this weather warms up..if it ever does, I will feel it too when we start walking again!! LOL

hope you are feeling better today!!

Hi GRANDPA BOB,


Yes few summers ago I went for a walk with my friends into the woods and walked for miles and came in the evening and the next few days I suffered with all the aches and pains but now I do walk a bit even to just go off the my local shops.

Hi Grandpa B,

We had our walk also last Sunday for one hour and day after that, I felt a lot of pain in my body! Hopefully, it will not happen again for the next walk, we can't do it everyday since my hubby is tired from work so weekend is our schedule for walking..

I felt like I am gaining a lot of weights and I need to pay attention to this, when I am home I am trying to exercise in my own ways!

hey I did not know you were like me, with not being able to get out and walk in the winter. Yes when I walk to much I do ache the next day and sometimes for three to four days afterwards, but it is good in the long run though, it does build back the muscles

I haven't been out for a walk in a long time neither. I can imagine how sore I would be. I do have a second floor where I live so I do have to go up and down the stairs several times a day. I have a question for you, you said it hurts like the dickens, whats the dickens. My granddaughter asked me that once after I told her something hurt like the dickens.

I used to get up every morning at five and go for a three mile walk with my niece. I found it to be very relaxing. I haven't walked in a long time. I try to get my husband to walk with me, but that is no fun, because he wants to stop to rest too often. He complains about his legs, but I think the problem with him is that he does not exercise at all.
Since I really do not exercise any more, I will go up and down the stairs two or three times a day.
I have a long stairway in my hall leading to the outside door.
My husband is the biggest couch potato going
