Re: Walking for Wellness

I havent got back to regular walking so easy does it first few times guess @Oaktree  Thanks was prob too long.felt ok tho at time

Re: Walking for Wellness

My BP goes up and down all the time @TAB , @Oaktree , @Dimity , @deshift 

Kind of settled down at the moment 

Re: Walking for Wellness

i only check mine if dont feel well @Shaz51 dr changed meds, that helped. was on dift meds before thyroid op, they didnt seem to work the same after that. when ever dr takes bp now they say 'fine' but 5 years ago would have said bad for same reading .. lol

Re: Walking for Wellness

You'd need to be extra careful with kidney disease @Shaz51 

I prob should talk to gp about stronger BP meds. Haven't meditated or done yoga nidra for a while,  should go back to them.

Shorter walks more often might help @TAB .

Re: Walking for Wellness

Thanks guys! @Shaz51  @Oaktree @TAB  @Dimity 

Re: Walking for Wellness

ok @Dimity  prob best to mention to dr ? high BP can lead to stroke plus damages circulatory system.  funny , ive been seeing drs , told not taking things seriously then they put me on wait list for an appt to see specialist lol ..so sorta like, well, what changed, in a way ? guess got a bit fo re assurance

Re: Walking for Wellness

Hi @deshift  guessing you are a walker ? hope things not too bad for you today. think going back to bed here lol

Re: Walking for Wellness

@TAB  When I am doing really well, I walk at first light every morning and do some gentle meditation exercise too at the parklands. It's been so long I forgot how good it made me feel! 😁

Re: Walking for Wellness

That sounds ideal @deshift . I'm not an early riser but often walk at sunset.

Re: Walking for Wellness

Hello @Oaktree @SmilingGecko wondering where you're at with walking and other exercise.  I'm still walking every day but often break for a few minutes halfway on a handy park bench. I've dipped out on resistance bands but am doing exercises for a dodgy back. Overall I'm making an effort but wish I was doing more. 

I'd love to hear how you're going.
