Walking for good health in Kentlands

Walking for good health in Kentlands

 

ActiveRain blogger Dr. Stacey-Ann Baugh has challenged members to join her plan for a more healthy year. There is a new group called Get Healthy in the Rain Group.

The first element of the challenge is to write a blog about the goal.  This is the easy part.  For many years, my exercise routine has included an hour walk through the communities of Kentlands and Lakelands in Gaithersburg, Maryland. I was sick during most of this month and stopped my regular walks.  So, my goal it to get back in the habit of those daily walks which make me feel better and also provide an element that helps with weight control.

Frequently, I turn my walks into photowalks by having my camera in hand to capture the colors of the season.  I recommend neighborhood walks to all ActiveRain members.  No special equipment is needed.  Dress warmly and have a comfortable pair a shoes is a good basic suggestion. 

No outside support is needed for a walking program.  You either do it or not.

I always enjoy your floral pics -- great idea to take the camera on your walks.  I think I will snag that idea!

Roy, I've been walking more as I help a friend recover from back surgery. It's amazing what we see while walking that we miss at other speeds.

Hi Roy.  I've been a regular walker since 1992.  My favorite walk is around Lake Lynn, a 2 1/4 mile circle.  I enjoy the geese and ducks.  Right now we have seagulls (why? there's no sea for hundreds of miles) but the swans seem to have left. Hope you get back in the habit of walking now that you're feeling better.

It is now time for me to post an update blog.  I will have to find time to write it after my daily walk.

It is sometimes a good idea to revisit old blogs and reblogs. We might even find some good ideas for new posts.
