[QUOTE="JenniferW, post: 951065, member: 191472"] I started off just vowing to go for a walk every day, 30 minutes minimum, but it was sometimes divided between two short walks. Somewhere or other I'd read that was a sort of minimum. Once I started to get used to that - and it was re-arranging, re-planning each day that I found so difficult - I increased the target to 45 minutes or an hour. But before I got very far with that I bought a fitness monitor (a Garmin Vivosmart), which I love because it works it all out for me - and slowly but relentlessly ups the target level! It uses the measuring in steps and I'm now up to the 10,000 average, which for me, can be a couple of hours of walking (PLUS rest times). What this means in distance is that I can now do a 6 and even a 7 mile walk - but with long rests in it and afterwards! But I'm enjoying it much more than I expected to and don't mind having to do this for the rest of my life. [/QUOTE]
