[QUOTE="JenniferW, post: 963800, member: 191472"] If I give myself time, I'm finding that I can do the 10,000 steps distance of walks. But it definitely tires me - I often come home, think I'll have a nap, and wake up hours later. And the next day, I don't have the drive to do more than a short walk, around half that distance. For now, this feels OK - so much more than I was doing, so a real personal achievement. For me, a big part of this is getting used to the idea that this is what I have to be like for the rest of my life. It's a big change because not only was most of my work mainly sedentary, post-retirement, most of the activities I like now having lots of time for are also sedentary. I'm only just starting to think through other ways that I could build more activity into a typical day, so I'm also liking seeing what other people are doing - other people who've not got any great exercise habits in their lives!
