I am a big advocate of walking but not a big fan of the machines – great for when the weather is lousy and you’re trapped inside but otherwise…
The main thing is that you exercise. Too many folks jump in the car to drive to their own mailbox ! Aside from daily workouts, my wife and I walk almost everywhere. It keeps the weight down, the circulation flowing, and the joints flexible. More important, it gets you out of the house and into the world, and away from the doctor or the undertaker.

It’s better than nothing, but not as good as running.

You’re doing really great, Gracie. I’m so proud of you.

Just walk fast enough to sweat and get your heart rate up. Much less chance of joint injuries this way.

But never ice water. It takes longer for the body to heat the water sufficiently to enter the cells than it takes the body to eliminate it.

Not safe for a woman to walk alone around here. No room for a treadmill. I can try doing laps around my house….

A stroke is not a heart problem. Or am I misunderstanding what she’s trying to say?
