Walking is exercise for the soul:). I try to get an hour‘s walk in every day, in a forest or a park nearby. It‘s essential for my wellbeing.

I walk every day, too! With my dog. She needs to get outside and so do I.

I walk about 1.5-2 miles everyday with my dog. We stop a lot for “sniff” breaks though! I really enjoy them and if I don’t get a walk in I can really tell. I do need to incorporate more strength training into my exercise routine.

If I didn't have a dog, I don't think I'd get out for a daily walk. It's a good idea to do the recommended amount of strength training, too! There are so many benefits to both types of exercise.

I probably wouldn’t either. I didn’t walk on a regular basis until we got her in 2020. I guess I can thank her for that! Do you have any recommendations for good strength training exercises for beginners? I’m 50 and in perimenopause BTW if that matters. Thanks!
