Walking 5-6 times per week
I have found to be successful in toning and weightloss by
walking 5-6 times per week for an hour. I had hit a plateau and needed to break it! I usually walk any hill I find and average 5 miles per walk. I have lost a total of 62 lbs. so far. I feel much better. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do to replace this routine during inclement weather? Sally |

However I walk at night and live where it rarely rains hard and snow happens maybe once every ten years and does not stick and is almost always under 80 by 10 PM. If needed I put a raincoat on but always wear shorts. |

Re: Walking 5-6 times per week
A good raincoat. With a hood that you can cinch up or
tie together. GoreTex works well for me. It's not cheap, but can be found on sale sometimes. And there's always Holiday & Birthday (& Mothers Day, if applicable) wish lists! Or, in warmer weather, Just Get Wet! Plan for the fact that your feet will get wet & you'll need to change your shoes & sox (& probably everything else!) as soon as you finish. The only conditions I let stop me from outdoor exercise is ice & heavy snowstorm! Congrats on the weight loss. Don't let a little bad weather deter you from sticking to your successful routine! bj "Sally D." <sally_davis@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:61c8cb02.0406021405.441ae8f@posting.google.com... > I have found to be successful in toning and weightloss by > walking 5-6 times per week for an hour.

Does anyone have any suggestions >on what to do to replace this routine during inclement >weather? Sally I would highly recommend a treadmill if it is within your budget. I've been walking an hour nearly every day for the past two years and I've gone from 225 lbs to 155 lbs. A treadmill is great for those days when the weather is bad. Mine is a Sears Pro-Form model I got at a discount, but I don't know if it's a model I'd particularly recommend. Not that it's bad, I just think any decent treadmilll would do. Jim |
