Thing is what am i going to do about it... Well there are a few things i could do, i could put a bit of talc on just to keep things smooth on my skin. i also have to take a good look at what im wearing on these longish walks.
Obviously what im wearing now is wrong for the effort i am putting in, probably got raised seams and the fitting is a bit loose so that is the main cause of the friction..
If all else fails then out comes the lubricant.........
Right then, time to hydrate with a cuppa, try the talc to see if i can sort this redness out a bit, then off again. Hopefully this bad weather will ease a bit before i set off, although im not holding out much hope.
Update,,,,,
Well thats me back, the lubricant worked a treat but blimey that was a hard 11,312 steps, the wind was horrible, really gale force in my face for the first half of the journey and blowing me into the road coming back. Needless to say i didnt do a good time today or stay out longer than i needed to.
On the positive side though, i did wear my wrist weights, so that made the walk a bit more effort than usual, and of course the fat burning potential a lot better, because people dont always know that the best sort of aerobics is done when there is resistance involved, like pumping weights while you jog, or wearing wrist or ankle weights, this burns fat more efficiently than just aerobics on its own.
They dont have to be all that heavy either for this, my ones are just 1kg about a 2lb bag of sugar on each wrist which give just that bit more efficient workout over the miles...
I hope youve not been pinching my tights again! Lol...... Well i did wonder
ReplyDeleteoooh how cool is this? I didnt know you were now doing exercise!!! perhaps I should join you, i really need some motivation! well done you, i cant imagine doing 11,000 steps at all. Most I manage in a day is 170 I think (I dont go far enough, LOL) so maybe Ill get my pedometer out and see how I get on... like the idea of the weights too. :)
ReplyDeleteyou will do a lot more than 170 just pottering about the house. A good way to start is by walking to the local shop and back, then next time you do it, take a detour that just takes you that bit further.. Its a gradual thing but i was surprised myself how fast your fitness progresses from simply walking.
DeleteWell remember just how much weight i lost with all that walking we did to hospital and back when i was pregnant with Nathan, ive never lost so much weight in my life than i did then, although cutting out the sugar was one of the main reasons for weight loss, its amazing how much sugar puts weight on.
