OK ... so I have good walking days, and no walking days!
I now know from reading, and research, that we really need a minimum of 5 days of at least 30 min. of vigorus activity to maintain good health.
Well doing anything Mon-Fri always has been a challenge, especially when you have become the defacto chef in the family. Weep all my pretty ones ... I have been taken!
So I've been talking to myself lately (kinda scary) ... my options are limited and I need to find a solution, which I think I have.
It appears from what I've been reading that 150 min. per week of vigorus physical activity is the minimum required to maintain good physical health. It also seems that the 150 min. per week is kind of open ended, where you can do 15 ten minute sessions, or three 50 minute sessions.
If this is a fact then I am going to target a 10 mile minium per week, since I have been averaging a good 15 min per mile. This allows me long walks on the weekend when I have the time, and shorter walks during the work week.
Stay tuned since I have started this plan this weekend and will detail in a few days.
Any one else work out a similar plan? Let me know!
