Back on the (walking) horse
Apr. 5th, 2015 11:28 amIt's been a really crappy winter (weather wise), so I've not been able to go out and walk. Which means exercise has been purely indoors... and I had little motivation to go down into the Coldcoldcold basement to use the elliptical machine.
More recently I've started using Wii Fit again, and then Tori bought Wii Fit Plus which has a couple of new games that I've been playing (eg the cycling one).
But today the weather was OK (50F, slightly breezy) so I thought I'd go for a walk. Rather than the longer ones I've done in the past I thought I'd start easy and plotted one that's around 2 miles long. Not a lot, but a start.
So the stats were 1.9 miles, 27m5s, av speed 4.2mph. I had built up a small sweat (but that could have been sun+coat+jumper); not out of breath. 15 minutes after finishing I'm feeling a very very minor ache in my legs. I guess I could have done a 3 mile walk without issues.
