Absolutely counts!  You exercised your eyes by reading the sign, you exercised your arms by using the steering wheel, and you exercised your right leg using the gas pedal.  Counts in my book.  😉

Re: Keeping Fit

[ Edited ]

I would love to have some place like that to walk every day. I have been walking inside with the ac on since it's so hot plus our air quality has been in the poor range. I have been nauseous past 3-4 days. I think it's from the heat?

@Nightowlz Take care! My mother could not tolerate heat. She got headaches and nausea from being out in it. It also drained her of her energy.

@Nightowlz We walk everyday! The heat and poor air quality has halted our outdoor walks. I think I am a mentally tuff old lady but the weather this summer has been a definite mental challenge. 

 

We try to stay positive but we know the heat will be oppressive and limiting for another 6-8 weeks. In the DFW area there is no cool down at night so its not practical to walk outdoors at sun up.

Thank you.

Well that's pretty much how I feel right now.

I have 0 energy. Was taking too much thyroid medication but feel like I'm not taking enough now.

We are avid walkers. We make a point to walk every single day. All kinds of weather and even in the extreme smoke we had for weeks. I feel its not funny to joke about not exercising. For the past 4 years I began my journey of getting healthier. I've lost 70 lbs, come off some meds and greatly reduced others. I feel great and plan to keep it up forever. Get out there and WALK girls!
