Next! Get the Momentum Going!

Anna "Banana" Kruchten Good for you!  A little bit every day, and you'll be increasing your time and steps before you know it!  I'm also into low-impact exercise.  I have a row machine and love it.  It's a full-body workout with no stress to the knees, hips, or ankles.  I started only doing 5 minutes/ day, but now, three years in, I do 40 minutes every day.  

Anna "Banana" Kruchten walking is a great way of staying in shape, and I hope the treadmill helps you get to the point you want to be.

Anna "Banana" Kruchten, I love your message sharing how well you are doing, starting with getting your treadmill back and using it a little bit each day. The bonus was getting your office back to the way you wanted it. Sounds like you had a perfect day.

Anna- Yea!!!!!  It's all about the first step and the next step after that. Years ago when I started going to Gold's Gym (that's how long ago it was) I got on the bicycle and thought...how am I going to do this. I felt like a really old lady. A gentleman next to me said "Start at 5 minutes today. Tomorrow add a few more!" He was right. Before you know it I could do 45 minutes easily. 

You'll be ready to take on even more soon!!!

Anna "Banana" Kruchten Thank you for the nudge and reminder to go explore the treadmill in my community. I like treadmills and I've got some sweatpants... 😏Lauren

Good morning, Anna... for me, when I was recovering from my hip surgeries, the only reason I could navigate the large grocery stores was because of the carts. Hopefully, you'll be able to ditch it again soon and get back to some hiking. 

Hello Anna - it seems as if your treadmill relocation project is providing quite the workout.  Talk about multi-beneficial.  

That is excellent news! Small steps and before you know it, you'll be feeling much stronger and can do that store walking with no problems.

Good Monday morniing, Anna. I hope you will be exercising every day and experience constant improvements.

Anna, I just love your attitude — one step at a time, literally and figuratively! 🚶‍♀️💪 Your story is such a great reminder that momentum starts with one small move, and it’s inspiring how you’re reclaiming both your space and your strength. I had to smile at the part about cleaning out those desk drawers — funny how progress in one area always seems to spark progress everywhere else. Keep walking, keep smiling, and keep that positive energy flowing! 🌟

I know you already know this, Miss Anna "Banana" Kruchten 🍌🍌🍌, do not overdo it. A little each day and build on it.  I tend to do too much and then pay the price.  

Cheers to getting your treadmill back and your office cleaned and organized. 

Most importantly, cheers to restored health and physical strength. 

💙🧡

What a refreshingly honest and uplifting share, Anna "Banana" Kruchten! Your story made me smile and reminded me how small steps—on a treadmill or otherwise—can spark big shifts 😊. Thanks for the real talk and the nudge to keep moving forward, one drawer (or stride) at a time!

Good morning Anna. I got rid of the desk and a dedicated office years ago and it was the same experience. I tossed things so outdated wasn't sure the dump would take the stuff, ha, ha. Did not replace the desk with a tread mill though and likely should have. But, with my bad knees maybe a stationary bike would be better. Walk on but take it slowly. Enjoy your day.

Getting up every day is a WIN, Anna! Congrats on getting the momentum going again...and walk...and walk. 

Hi Anna "Banana" Kruchten - It's funny how good karma circles back around. When you didn't need that treadmill, you generously passed it on to someone who could use it. And then by coincidence, it came back to you when you need it now! How wonderful. That treadmill may be old and heavy, but it still does the job and you're making progress. For now, it's one baby step at a time; soon you'll be going so much further. Who knows? You may be running again!
