proven walking benefits

My sister visited and we walked

My younger sister from another city visited me three days ago, and she urged me to walk every day. The day she came, we checked-in at a hotel and during that stay, we walked early in the morning and the late afternoon. "You need it," she said. "older people should walk a lot." And I'm glad I listened to her. It has only been 4 days since I started walking and I felt my bowel movement and digestion improved a lot. Also, the heaviness on my chest is slowly disappearing, and to think I've done it only for the 4th day today. Have you had the same experience? Feel free to share them with me and our MyLot friends.

I do bowl on video games once a day which makes me feel better since the exercise of simulating being in a bowling alley is great to lose weight.

No, my sister went back to her work in another city. But she promised to come again next week. I wish we could do that, but I'm in another time zone.

That's great! You would have enough exercise for those sports. I wish I could play too, but unluckily, my health does not permit it.

Have fun with your sons during your time with them.

You're right. Everything improved immediately/ Even my breathing problems diminished. There used to be heaviness on my chest but now it's gone.

Exercise is important at all ages but especially in older people. Sadly, many older people cannot exercise as much as they should due to health issues. I have a heart condition and simply cannot walk more than half a mile or so without getting breathless but I do try to get some exercise every day
