[QUOTE="Vikingepigen, post: 75860, member: 18320"] I do the "Walking" thing - but I do walk at a pace, about 3.5m in an hour on flats, slightly less when in the woods. I do one 2 mile walk every other day and a 4 mile walk the other days. I do a 3/4m "stroll" after my evening meal and around 11pm I do my "floor exercises" of leg lifts and sit ups (10 of each, twice) and on some days when I do the 2 mile walks I do another mile walk, but it depends on when I get out of the house. This seems to work for me and the carb intake I have but I have also found that doing 4 miles, 2 miles, 3/4 miles and the floor exercise on the same carbs causes me problems (hypos I think it is called). I tried to jog a little the other day on my 4 mile walk, but my knees were so painful for two days afterwards I had to take painkillers!! I do have "dodgy" knees and have had keyhole surgery to one, so I suppose they were just telling me it was not a good idea! lol It is definately worth trying out some of the suggestions, you will soon enough know if it right for you or not.
