I have always enjoyed walking and biking. I do have a free membership to LA Fitness which s a couple businesses down the road. Certainly in short walking distance. However, I have not been there in a while. I am purchasing a cheap fitness monitor on a wrist band to help me out with the walking and biking parts of my exersize. This is how I will start. Maybe some time at LA Fitness on the stationary bike, or a swim in their indoor pool, can help too.

I used to have no problem walking five or even ten miles. Now I am sure I will have a problem with much over a mile or two, me needing to allow for a rest stop. The weight gain I want to be from muscle. I will take my first walk tomorrow, the first real walk in many years. This is when I get my activity watch. I will report the results here.

I will first walk two miles total. This should amount to maybe 4000 steps according to an approximation that I found on the Internet. I am sure the distance of ones stride will determine this. There is a shopping complex over there which should make for a good goal. Next goal will be four miles which will take me to a restaurant where I can have a cup of coffee. There is also another shopping complex there across the street. Then I will move to bicycling.
