As the days have gotten darker, colder and wetter, I haven't been walking. When school started, the roads got busy again. Somehow in the spring it wasn't as much of an issue, it seemed different. But this fall weather is really discouraging me in my walk. At the old house, I simply walked out the front door rain or shine. At the new house, I have to drive to my walk and I don't like it one bit.
I had a revelation the other day...I can walk INSIDE!
Leslie Sansone's Walk at Home is my answer! Why didn't I think of this before!?
I walked a mile today...all in 20 minutes and without leaving home-yay! This is the free one mile YouTube video I did today:

I like that I did one mile and did it a lot faster with more impact than my walks outside. Each step stimulates the lymphatic system and this was way better than my half mile meandering stroll I've been taking recently. I find it difficult to find a brisk pace, so I think I don't push myself as hard as I should on my outdoor walks. I also like that it will be easy to "track" my improvement by changing up to longer distances. And if it turns out I only have a half hour, I can choose the right walk to fit my time constraints. I'm excited about doing this WITH my husband, too! No mental prep. No special clothes. Any time of day (or night)! Easy!
I also started the T-Tapp video Instructional #1. I did one Primary Back Stretch (yeeps, get those elbows back!) and I have a long way to go, but that's what I could manage today. I really think the T-Tapp is my answer to "Get Strong"!
