I walked around the last few days. Warmer weather makes it way more pleasant.

Walked for an hour yesterday. About 20 mins in felt tired, really not used to walking this much but it was nice to get out.

Hopefully can build up my stamina so not get tired as quickly.

I am envious of my fellow posters. My plans to incorporate walks back into my routine have been foiled by drizzly weather.

Hiked couple our canyon vista situation w friends today. Was good lots of ascent.

 

[Bloop]

Only a 20 minute walk today and by the end of it I was out of breath. Will need to work on this, might take some time to get used to.

Still, you should have seen the smile on my face walking in the beautiful weather here in England

I did 30 minutes exercise today, going to aim for 30 minutes again tomorrow. The endorphins make it all worth it

 

[Petal]

Forgot to update last week but did an hour walk today down to barbers and back and didn't feel tired. Went to shops on way back home to pick up my prescriptiom and finally found pepsi max raspberry. Been looking for it for weeks 1

Been doing well on the bike, and starting to successfully work in some toning with arm weights, as well.

 

[DouglasW]

Oh the other day I did 4 sets of like full body squats, raising arms with dumbells on each rise. This was meant to be warm-up to workout but I got so winded I decided this is another area I need to work on. But I did it!

Did around 90 mins walking while playing half a round of golf yesterday. Going again on Thursday to do full course. Should be around 3hrs walk time.

I used to be very active. A year and a half ago, I was running, walking, hiking, did all sorts of activities, and I was much happier. But, then, all of a sudden I fell into some melancholia, and now it's turned into depression. I struggle a lot, I can hardly force myself to get out of the house. I did an hour walk last evening, I did, but I can't push myself, like I did before. Even though I know all about the good benefits of exercising...
So, I am with you here. ❤

I've tried exercising, walking, weights, cross fit. None of it did any good. Still depressed. I think it is BS when they say exercise is as good as anti-depressants. I have never felt good after exercising.

 

[Petal]

I did some exercise today and felt great after it

 

[Lady Wolfshead]

I don't actually find most exercise helps me with depression, other than extreme exercise where the endorphins kick in. But I do feel better knowing I did it. I'm trying to exercise at least 3 times per week, with 45 minutes on my elliptical trainer and 30-40 minutes of free weights, setups and push ups.

One thing that motivates me is I watch YouTube videos while working out. Mostly fashion, makeup, "hacks" and vlogs. Stuff I don't have to pay too much attention to. I don't allow myself to watch this kind of video at any other time.

 

[DouglasW]

Well I've been going to yoga and feeling more energy. I'm very depressed every other day, but at the same time, I've been going out and meeting people and that lifts my mood. The exercise has helped a lot, to feel better and wanting to go out at all.

 

[arbitrarybarry]

Anyone making use of the warm weather to get more exercise in?

 

[Lewis83]

I actually prefer the cold weather for exercising, I get too warm in the summer. I have found exercising to be good for taking my mind off things. I've always kept fit, but since I got dumped I've had more time on my hands and that's meant more time to think bad thoughts, but the extra exercise that I'm fitting in gives me something to do with my free time.
