Exercise
Recently I’ve done some bush walking. It’s nice to go for a serene walk in nature with some tough hills to climb at times! Sometimes you can even spot some wildlife like I saw an Echidna. I always feel at least a bit better after exercise, it’s good to have found one I can resonate with.
Definitely prefer this setting than that of a crammed gym or of a loud and busy main road.
I used to go running but I hurt my back with arthritis so I prefer walking these days.
What exercise helps with your mood?

Re: Exercise
Hi @P0larBear
I am glad that you are enjoying your walks in nature. I just wanted to let you know that you are not allowed to talk about distances on Sane as it triggers some people so you may want to edit your post before you get moderated. I like to hike too but I am really out of shape. I would love to do an end to end on the Bibbulman track someday.
Happy Easter to you.

Re: Exercise
Hi @Oaktree
I’ve edited the post, I didn’t realise that mentioning that would trigger something in someone else…
Yeah nature is good, get away from the noise of society and get some exercise at the same time.
Happy Easter to you as well.

Re: Exercise
hello @P0larBear I am with you in preferring walking outside than exercising in gyms. Need to do more of it. I used to swim a lot but got sick of smelling of chlorine.
Cheers
Apple

Re: Exercise
Hi @P0larBear,
Thanks for your post! I'm glad to hear how helpful bushwalking is for you 🙂
I too like going for walks in nature when I can find the motivation, and it is particularly enjoyable getting to spot nice views, cute farm animals, pretty flowers, and interesting wildlife. I also enjoy swimming, yoga, and especially dancing.

Re: Exercise
@Kyle1 I usually snap a couple photos on my phone when I come across something cool, often a nice view or sunset 🙂

Re: Exercise
A late response sorry but that’s god to hear.
I’ve been struggling with my mental health and living situation so just haven’t been motivated.
