    Have you tried powerwalking?

    Cardio on a bike is cool, too. I wish there were some good trails around here. I haven't ridden in ages.

    Well, it's on a stationary bike, so I'm sitting bored looking at a tv or staring out the window daydreaming. Powerwalking I haven't really tried. Though such as for Mardi Gras instead of driving to the fair grounds about a mile off from our apartment, I walked, though I have bad arches, but I wear sandals with good supports, it was still a bit of a strain on my arches and shins and especially my lower back, that by the time I walked back home, well, much soreness. I can take more if I go slower, but I have a problem pacing myself and tend to rush too much, wanting to reach my destination faster. The night before Mardi Gras I made the mistake of not bringing a bottle of water with me and leaving my jacket behind. lol ANd just like the two previous years in a row, I half froze. That Tuesday though, the first time I went out, I remembered something to drink and brought my own blend of tea, usually a green and mint tea mixed with apple and cinnamon or some other fruit tea. The second time I went out that day I brought some ice water and remembered my jacket. Extra pockets for more beads, hehe. Though by then I was so beat, I caught a ride home with some friends, though their car was about half as far as my apartment.

    If you're not used to powerwalking a distance of over a mile AND you have bad arches, it's best to stretch out throughly….otherwise you'll get shin splints. And NOBODY likes shin splints. Shin splints themselves don't even like shin splints.  😛

    XD Shin splints REALLY don't like shin splints! Splints, odd word… Wonder who came up with that word… Yeah, today was Conge` in Grand Coteau at my old school, kind of a fair/fund raiser. I went and did lots of walking, by the time I got back to my car, my arches were thanking me for getting off of my feet.

    I lost 45 lbs by powerwalking (& eating right).

    It works!  😀

    I usually walk around my neighborhood (5 hours/week), but if the weather's really bad I go to an indoor track.

    Hope that helps.

    Later,
