Take care DJ. I managed an hour walk (56 mins actually) while kids are at school. Downloaded a pedometer app - will post results later, still have school pickup and trip to doctor with DD to go, all on foot.

All my walking today was up and down stairs.
Plus hour and quarter out with push chair and toddler.

So not bad.

Go for it Obbie, even 1/2 hour each day can make a huge difference.

Went to the gym this morning and the air conditioning was broken, I hate exercising in the heat.

I'd like to do the same :)
I managed a brisk walk of about half an hour or more 4 days last week. I missed a day as I had to be in the city early one morning for a work seminAr.  Hopefully next week I'll make ir 5 days  :)

Failure today. Almost all day in car, with few walks around houses and fields.

Oh well there is always tomorrow.

DJ, this is going to sound very weird :-)) but I did read somewhere that squeezing your bum cheeks together while sitting down helps stimulate blood flow to your legs and strengthens your butt muscles. If you're sitting in the car for ages you could give it a try. Its not the most effective exercise but it makes you feel like you're doing something :D

I'm going to give that a try.

Way to much bubbles at a party last night so I think it will be a slower walk with the dogs to pick up our car from a friends.
