I try to walk every day at a moderate pace. I live with a service dog and that means I need to take him out a few times a day to relieve and that encourages me to extend that time out to walk. I probably average about 1-2 miles per day.
My dog is 11 and he doesn’t want to walk as fast as we have in the past, so I compromise and think about the other benefits of being outside and enjoying the budding trees as spring unfolds.
I’ve read that walking also promotes good mental health since the very act of alternating from the left foot to the right foot also moves the brain from one hemisphere to the other.
Last year, I bought a rebounder (mini-trampoline) and used it extensively for the first six months or so. I backed off some in recent months as I started to spend more time going to the gym to use a sauna. I suspended my gym membership recently as this pandemic spread and I’m now re-establishing my daily rebounder habit.
Here’s the post I made about it last summer.
I had to drop my physical therapy sessions for my plantar fasciitis due to this virus outbreak, so I try to do my therapy exercises that address strength and flexibility.
