[Diabetes-talk] great place to exercise

[Blindhands at aol.com]

There is no excuse now for not taking a walk, no matter what the weather  
is.
 
I needed to buildmy ability to walk longer distances due to getting a guide 
 dog from the seeing eye.  I started working on this about a year  back.  
Welll I had asthma and was on treatment for 2 months last spring and  then I 
got going out a bit walking and the hot summer came and I got asthma  again 
with the breathing treatments and was pulling my hair out how I could  build 
up my stamina.  Well the light bulb went on and I started walking in  my 
house.  I got one of those talking pedometers and walked from the  kitchen 
down the hallway to the bedroom and worked up to a mile 3 times a  day.  So 
during the hot weather the air conditioning was on and it was  flat, just had 
to make sure the toys were picked up after the kids went  home.  I was able 
to go and get my Seeing Eye dog in November.
 
So exercise by walking in your house.  I have a friend that while she  
washes the dishes she runs in place.
