Walking for Self-care & Health
So recently I've been trying little things to help my body. Drink more water, sleep more regularly, simple self care things I can accomplish.
One of my main problems is mobility, as I am disabled with chronic pain, and my doctor says I have to keep moving now to be able to keep moving in the future. Basically, the more I walk now the more I get to walk around when I'm older. And I'd love to stay up and mobile for as long as possible.
My dietitian & GP suggested buying a pedometer and tracking my number of steps each day.
Pedometers can be really expensive though, so I searched the Google play app store & downloaded one for my cellphone! It's called Pacer & it seems pretty accurate so far but there were so many and they cater to a lot of different types of people I'm sure.
Yesterday was a good pain day and I did 6,000 steps.. today was a little harder and I did around 2,000.
10,000 steps is the daily goal for a healthy able bodied person.
Healthy Body = Healthy Mind
Who else walks to keep themselves healthy? Who else walks as a form of self care?
Anyone gonna take this up & download a pedometer?
