Is anyone starting their beautiful summer walking program yet????
I just found this board and found that no one has wrote for June yet...so here it goes....We are always being told how important exercise is before and after surgery...I still think walking is the best because it helps you relax also.....I love to walk outside but as most people are...I do my walking at my health club on a treadmill.....Being around other people makes me try harder and keep going...The one I go to here in Naples is great.....It is small and no one makes fun of me...There are about 6 ladies there and we are all living large and the only time anyone says anything about us exercising is to tell us......."you go girl!!!" The rest of the time it is just being nice and telling us good morning or talking to us when they are beside us.....The people there are all very nice and I try to go everyday even if it just to walk...You do everything at your own pace and as much as you like....If I have a question...It's the first time in a long time that I wasn't embarassed to ask something because of my size....That is why I keep going.....they are so friendly and no one makes fun of me....Let me know how your program is going....Janice
