Hi everyone, may I suggest this week to go for a walk. I spend to much time indoors so this week I am committing on spending outside at least an hour per day. Please join me and spend outside some quality time with your family, friends, dog or alone.

    LOVE THIS!! I walk my puppy every morning for about 20-30 minutes. I even love the crisp, cold air! SO PEACEFUL at 7am..... Then I have been hopping on treadmill for some additional exercise but I worry her little paws are gonna be frozen if I walk farther with her.....

    I am such a wimp. But we are having a heat wave (mid 40's) so I will work on it. I won't have time tomorrow. I work then I have to take my daughter back to college. ( couple hours in the car)

    I will try, unfortunately where I live it's more dangerous to go outside and walk than to not. People cannot DRIVE around here and there are crazy turns right by my house. I usually do my walking (at least now that it gets dark so early) in my house or on my porch with Leslie Sansone...does that work? :)

    I canonly do this tomorrow cause it is my day off. After doing laundry I usually go to the boardwalk for a smoothie - I'll just take the long way around the boardwalk and maybe do some window shopping or see if anyone is using the soccer field while I enjoy my time away from work. I'm also meeting a friend at the track there this afternoon and while we won't be there an hour, it will be some nice outside exercise time.

In Lithuania now is just -5 C (or 23 F), windy and icy currently, 2 weeks ago was up to -18, from 3 pm is getting dark, there fore no one wants to go out including me I need to force myself to go out for some fresh air.

    Great. I am hoping to be able to get out a walk more. I will give it a shot as my daughter has been sick and it has been to cold to get her out. I'm willing to try though.

    I walked for 35 minutes. I have to admit that I walked on my treadmill though, but it's on my fully glass back porch so I could see outside! :bigsmile:

    Took the kids geocaching and to the park today. Spent about an hour outdoors! It was a little chilly, but never gets too cold here in California.
