A good 45 minute brisk walk with plenty of hills.
Need to measure map, we think it was 2 miles.

Glad things going ok DGIO. Take care.

Wonder, I enjoyed Bikram yoga more in autumn, spring and winter but not in summer! In fact there is a noticeable drop off in attendance in summer!

Sounds like you are going great guns Dublin Girl, keep up the food work.

Courton, I figured its so hot outside I may as well just go. I wonder why expel don't go as much in the hot weather? Did you see the benefits from going? I was hoping to do another class today but got very badly sunburnt yesterday and very sore today so hoping maybe l'll be ok tomorrow. I've heard you need to really make an effort to go a few times in the first week before making a decision.

I did it for years and then lost interest...but that is me. I do some form of exercise for a few years and then get bored. Stick with it for at least 3 or 4 sessions before you make a decision. Remember little sips of water is the secret. I definitely felt great, slept better and felt it detoxed my body.

Thanks Courton, I'm aiming to go a few times this week before making up my mind. I think the fact that each session is 90 mins will turn me off in the end. I found the first session really hard but strangely looking forward to going back.

Another good brisk walk today an hour this time with very steep escarpment to climb... Not so brisk up that bit (LOL) but tremendously good cardiovascular workout!
Yesterday was 1.7 miles, haven't worked out today's yet. DH has gone off with the map!

I have started back with my morning walk, but the humidity was in the 90s, so felt sticky and yucky, unusual to have high humidity here in Albany, will be glad when we are back to normal😄

I went for one morning walk a while back rainbow, it was about 5am but the flies and humidity were unbearable. That is why I now swim at night time at the pool :)

ES, go you ;D

DJ, well done! :D

Home from hospital yesterday - have my special height chair etc and wearing my beautiful nylon TED socks (too hot though) - managed to shower and wash my hair so feeling a but more normal. I think it will be a while before I'm pounding pavements getting fit!  I'm going stir crazy although glad for ipad and forum!

Can imagine the heat getting to you DGiO . . it'll come - just be patient but make sure you're doing all the physio etc!  All fingers and toes crossed for a speedy recovery ( . . and pounding of pavements!! ;D )

You're making good progress DGIO. I know it is hot but keep wearing those TED's until you are back to normal activity.  :)
