According to the Mayo Clinic, one of the benefits of brisk walking is that it
•Improves your mood
Well, I just proved them right.
I wasn't in the best mood a few hours ago, so I decided to check the Internet about the benefits of walking. Seeing this line about improving the mood, I decided to go downstairs and put it to the test.
I could only walk for 15 minutes as it turned out but it did put me in a more
receptive mood. Hopefully, I will go back again after lunch to finish my walking session.

Good Marlina!
I am glad you were able to go out and walk.
See I missed my walk today and now I feel miserable because of it.
I could not go early and had business to take care of shop, so now it is way too hot to do so.

@Happy2BeMe, When I had my surgery it took a long time for me to be able to walk more than a few minutes but I had some other problems. I am sure that you will be there soon.

I briskly walked behind my mower. I feel great and my yard is looking better. I know it helps. During the school year I had the privilege of a daily after noon walk with a young student who needed it. It helped me a lot too.

It really does improve the mood also.
I was too tired because of the heat but I have done a lot walking up and down steep slopes this afternoon and I am still raring to go.

Not likely but it showed me that I can keep it up but with caution in this very warm weather.
We should all walk if we can´t do anything else.

Yes it always makes me feel better too, sometimes when I run I feel great, knowing the mosquitoes did not get a taste of me.

I enjoy walking on the boardwalk near my home. The ocean breeze and the surrounding scenery always puts me in a relaxed mood. Plus, I get out of the house and do a little exercise.

@marlina Just so peaceful. Usually walk after dinnertime which helps digestion, and you enjoy seeing all the activity; the other walkers, people relaxing on the beach, and the sunset.

@Marilynda1225 , I did it again this morning and will go for a walk later on this afternoon. But it is all indoor. Can't do the outdoor walking very often as it is more difficult for me.

@marlina My knees kill me all the time so walking for me is difficult but I try to keep moving as much as I can throughout the day. When I sit for long periods of time it's worse. Glad that you're getting in some walking whether it's inside or outside

Hello @marlina! For sure walking is a very powerful remedy for many things. I used to run when I was younger, but now I practice Hatha Yoga and Vinyasa Yoga to maintain my mood well and also receive all the benefits they give us by meditating as well.
I would love to go back running. I can remember when I got home I was feeling "powerful" and that feeling was rewarding to me. As I am setting new things to my life, I will consider returning to this running schedule.

Hello @manandezo, I did some jogging in the past and I loved it. Loved the "high" that it gave me.
Unfortunately, things have changed and I can't do this anymore. I sure miss that powerful feeling too.
Good luck with your new schedule.
