    Yeah, long brisque walks and other low impact exercise helps your body’s internal systems in ways that are more beneficial than just weight regulation. I started walking a couple miles every other day a month ago and despite not losing any significant weight yet I just sleep better, my digestive track is working better, and I just feel better overall.

    Missed it due to weather the last few days and I clearly need to get out for a walk this evening.

    Note: I feel miserable while I am doing the exercise, the good feeling is the rest of the day.

      I notice a huge improvement in just about everything when I’m going on walks frequently. I’m sure the exercise and vitamin D is most of it, but it’s also sort of meditative and good for clearing your head.

      I feel good once I get over an initial exasperation, say about 5-10 minutes into the exercise, once I push through that I feel pretty golden and the exercise starts to feel good. I suppose it is different for everyone though, but yeah the good feeling does persist throughout the day as well so it’s definitely worth it in any case.
