Annarchy Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Good Evening (((((Snowmom))))) Sorry to hear you sprained your foot, all things considered, you did exceptionally well. Congratulations. Mine are, Walking, 1 1/2 miles Cleaning house & doing chores, 1/2 mile Gardening, 1/8 mile. Watching plants grow doesn't count much, LOL Moving 3/4 mile, but it felt like more carrying my little box back and forth. I am guessing around 3 miles. I should intentionally increase my distance for the sake of my health. Who wants to join us? Michael, how many miles did you do? Link to comment
LindaLou Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I have been remiss at posting my miles. First of all, Snowmom, sorry about your foot. If you have access to an eliptical machine you might still be able to execise. I dislocated my little toe and broke a bone in my foot and couldn't run but was able to do the eliptical machine because there was no impact pressure on my foot. Second, just counting running for my mileage because math is not my strong point (I have to use fingers and toes. I blame it on going to school in California during the late 60s, early 70s with new math). 40 miles Annarchy, if you decide to increase your miles I think you should do it in your walking. The health rule is that you should shoot for 30 minutes of sustained activity at an increased heart rate 3 to 4 times a week. Although I run, walking is probably a better exercise since, although it takes longer, it isn't as hard on your joints. Happy exercising this week. Link to comment
Snowmom Posted April 14, 2011 Author Share Posted April 14, 2011 Good morning, My foot is healed and so next week, I will try to add a few miles. Thank you for your concern. All of the miles I got in that week had been before I hurt my foot. Have a great day. Link to comment
