I have more time at the weekend to exercise, during the week i add my two extra walks in and that's about all the time i have managed to make for myself at the moment but at the weekend there are no excuses, it is summer here, there are thousands of walks available to amble around and sometimes leaving the car at home to complete a local shop is a handy way to get some extra fitness in.
On Saturday the car needed washing, normally this would mean i would drive the 3.5km to the car wash and either have Shannon pick me up or alternatively sit in a cafe for 1 hour and 30 minutes eating a heart clogging breakfast washed down with copious amounts of coffee but i have found a revolutionary third option, so revolutionary i should follow suit and release a book and here it is (drum roll please) drop the car off and walk home, seriously why not, it's only three and a half kilometres, the weather is decent and the walk is safe, clean and flat. So that's what i did, i left the car wash, took a non taxing 40 minute stroll and before i knew it bingo i was at home enjoying a well deserved plate of beans on toast for lunch.
Spurred on by the mornings achievement the whole family took a walk in the woods in the afternoon, i added another 4000 to my daily grand total of 21000 steps...
Sunday we all took a walk around the local flea market and went out to lunch but the day still finished off on 10k + steps.
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday i was away on business so plenty of steps were taken at the airport, going to meetings and walking around the factory also on the night time walking to the local restaurants seemed like the best way to go.
Walking is a breeze, trust me if you are not doing this as even the base level of your exercise plan give it a go for just 30 minutes and you'll really understand what i am getting at.
