I Dave’s Walking is Fitness podcast, I recently listened to him talk about the benefits of walking and getting your “sunshine” vitamin. Vitamin D. Dave has this great podcast and YouTube channel, where he talks about his journey for using Walking is Fitness, intentional walking for his fitness journey. Feels like a friend talking to you, as you walk. Great motivation! Keep it up Dave!
What I’ve been doing, in addition to teaching chair based fitness, is a daily Seokmun-Hoheup Breathing and Meditation practice, along with walks, and hanging out on my Egoscue Tower for managing my scoliotic back. Keeps my daily chronic back pain at a minimum.
Part of my mental game is using my manual typewriter to collect my collected thoughts onto paper.
Here’s my mother’s 1934 #Underwood #PortableTypewriter There are a few things I need to fix on it as a loose ruler, and a set of new rubber feet. And then learning how to adjust that Capital Letters to be aligned with the lower case letters. But it’s a good “type”.
Join me on my YouTube channel for your seated fitness or your gentle yoga for easing back pain. I am not a doctor, or licensed nutritionist. Just sharing what I learn onto you good folk.
Here’s my latest gentle yoga class. I mix it up with on the floor, seated on the chair, standing behind the chair. Most movements can be done seated on the chair! #SeatedChairFitness #SeniorFitness
While listening to “Walking is Fitness” podcast by Dave, he talked about 9 ways to burn more calories during walking. One of the things I do, is listen to a podcast or a book, while doing my daily walks. So here is my summary of Dave’s podcast!
What does this have to do with Chair Yoga Fitness? Walking is a great complement to one’s fitness. Some folks are recovering from surgery, or may have had a lapse in health, and need to start their fitness journey seated on the chair. I’ll often offer an indoor ease to do walking workout with my participants after our Chair Yoga Fitness sessions.
After my heart surgery last year, my stamina was at an all time low. #7 on this list, helped me in another way in that walking with hiking sticks or poles, helped me with my balance. Was moving at a much slower pace after my Wolf Mini Maze, to get rid of my Afib. Walking with walking poles/sticks, helped me get outdoors, move my upper body more, and helped me breathe deeper into my lungs.
Now that I’ve seen this on Dave’s podcast, I might just get out my sticks again to burn a few more calories!
Do you do any of these methods to burn more calories while walking?
