    I did my 3 miles with strap on weights. First half wrapped them on ankles and then on the way back had them on wrists. Fun Fun! Everyone having fun yet? Was anyone else thrown off balance at first with the extra weight? It could have been because mine was on my ankles and when I would stride it felt different. BTW I am having ice cream for lunch after that!

    I had a fantastic walk this morning.
    Due to poor ankles and tendonitis in my wrists, I opted for a weight vest.
    Heavier than the 2-4 lbs we're supposed to do (it's 8lbs), but balanced over chest, shoulders, back.

    I DIDN'T EVEN FEEL THE EXTRA WEIGHT!
    Walked normal...and felt so good I added little extra.

    I cut my normal route time down this morning, so I added an extra bit around the park to the front door instead of the back door.
    2.17 miles (instead of 1.6 - 1.8) and only added 4 minutes to my time!

    O yeah. I also noticed with the vest, that my posture improved as I walked. Especially going up incline/hill areas. Kept my head up instead of looking at my feet (I tend to do that because I am klutzy and want to see where I am walking).


    :happy: It was a great morning!

    Hey Everyone,
    It's really good to see fellow committed walkers... I continued on my 2 mile walk today with 2lb weights straped to each of my wrists... Kept my arms pumping to maximize the benefits if the weights...
    I'm starting to see a difference in my body.... I'm excited about the changes in.my body :-)
