Atkins on Exercise
I picked up and have started reading Dr Atkins' Age Defying Diet. I figured if his LC diet is doing me so much good, perhaps he has some interesting information on aging too.
I skipped forward to the exercise chapter since exercise is so much on my mind these days. Quote:
This gives us some control of reducing the odds of suffering heart disease. We can literally "walk away from it"! Quote:
He goes on to recommend walking as an excellent exercise program that anyone can do. Cheap, easy, free and requires no special equipment! My only disappointment with what I'm learning about the value of exercise, is that I didn't figure this out 20 or 30 years ago! Marlaine |
Nice reminder Marlaine :) It's one of my present goals to formulate a better exercise strategy for myself. I'm walking daily, I need to do more. Walking is a great way to start initially, especially if one has not done any kind of exercise.
I would love to add a few things to what you have said :) Quote:

I don't recall where I collected all this stuff, so I can't acknowledge. Interesting sideline:- Since starting lo-carb I've banished all pre-packaged from my kitchen. I decided to start going to farmers' markets and ethnic food stores for supplies and vegetables. My walks have now become adventures. I've greatly reduced my grocery budget, by shopping this way. Things like flaxseed I found much cheaper in ethnic shops. My fridge is crammed... my other kitchen closets are empty, except for this huge supply of salmon, tuna, sardine cans :) and vast array of new herbs and spices. I spend less time now in food preparation than I did before:) 'La vita e bella' the lo-carb way :D |
Thanks Marlaine!!
I knew it all along but I've just plain been lazy!!! Monday I'm jumping in !! Starting a routine with weight machine and going to start the daily walk. I walk all day at work but its not the same walking you do for excercise... plus after over 30 years of it, my body just takes that walking as normal. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Ellie :wave: |
