Brian and I have been doing our best to continue our walks since our vacation to Savannah GA. We walked so much there, we both felt better (after the initial soreness) and decided to continue our walking at home. We've done pretty good considering his legs (motorcycle accident) and my foot (I think I might have plantar facisitis). So, we have picked it back up and are walking the trails in our area. We haven't done that before and are really enjoying the area.
Today we walked the Frisco Trail in Joplin. I wish the scenery was as pretty as Georgia (it will be in time!) but I took a few photos:
We got almost 3 miles in today before Brian's legs were too tired and my foot was complaining :)
Walking is a GREAT way to exercise, I love adding it in to my fitness routine.

Friday Challenge - Walking edition
Happy Friday y'all!! We have a BIG weekend planned and have been getting things ready. The house is looking good, the yard is looking even better! Brian has been working so hard on it and I'm in lurve! with the deck and Brian :)
Since it is Friday, that means another challenge. It's all about the walk! so today, we are going to move and when you go out today, park in the farthest spot and walk, go for a walk today - either a leisurely walk with a friend or a brisk walk and get a good calorie burn.
Walking is one of the best exercises you can do. It is easy on your joints and a great way to build up to a more strenuous exercise, if you want to.
When I wear my bodybugg, I love seeing the step counter. 10,000 steps is the goal for every day. Do you think you get that many? More? Less? It was surprising to me when I actually saw how many steps I was taking - it was not 10,000. The bodybugg is a good thing for me to make sure that I am on track and if I'm not, I know I need to move. You can also use a pedometer. Whatever works for you, just be sure to walk and move.
The Project You! Type 2 workout has a great walking cd. I love it. The music is good, and Kathy Smith is a great trainer. She talks through the walk ( just enough, but not so much that it becomes annoying) and keeps a good pace. There are two 30 min workouts, one is just walking and the other one is a walk/jog. Of course, the workout comes with several other exercise dvd's as well.
So, take a walk today. Just move!
