Out of shape

[smokey]

We walked in the State park this afternoon and I am so out of shape. We walked down the paths and then back up the 1000 steps to the top. I swear it felt like 10,000 steps when we were done!

Any chance you can make that walk a more regular routine? The more you do it, the easier it will be - because your body will shape up and adapt to the challenge.

I hate when I realize that I'm out of shape; not a good feeling.

Oh yes! We are already planning on it. We have been outside playing softball too and we cut wood that morning. I think it was just ALL the exercise we had gotten! Man my body still hurts!

The walking around is more about endurance which is a totally different form of exercise compared to playing softball and cutting wood. Requires different muscles and uses different parts of the body.

We played badminton yesterday. It has been a very very long time since I stopped playing badminton and now my shoulder and forearm still hurts.

Tell me about it! I have been very sedentary for far too long. I did a very short walk the other day and my lower back began to ache. It took days before I felt comfortable again. I think I'm getting old!

I have gotten out of the habit of exercise lately myself and the more I think about it the harder I need to change slipping back into old ways. We only get one body, no returns either.

I've started walking/running on the treadmill in hopes of getting back into some semblance of shape. I know round is a shape (LOL) but it's not the one I want.
