Walking In the Garden

So I am proud to say that I’ve been working out consistently since last August 2008 (almost a year, yippee!!) During that time, I’ve experimented with different forms of exercise. Ellipticals, treadmills, weights, etc. Right now, I am doing a mix of walking outside and going to the gym. (I’ve been getting bored with going to the gym ALL THE TIME. So I decided to have a change of scenery. So, I go to the botanical garden two to four times a week now and power walk for an hour to an hour and a half. It’s been marvelous.

I always thought walking wasn’t a “real” workout. Boy, was I mistaken. I feel energized and pooped after a good hour or hour and a half walk. It’s great.

Here’s a picture of meĀ on one of my walks. (I am smiling so much because this is the BEFORE picture.)
