Your doctor is absolutely your best resource. See them before you start your walking journey. Tell them exactly what your doing and how you plan to do it. I know that they'll love the idea of you starting a program of walking. And that the best idea is to start slowly but most importantly get started right after your appointment. That very same day. Listen to everything your doctor has to say because they have seen it all. And they have years of incredible experience working with individuals designing fitness and nutritional programs that really work. I know that my doctor is awesome...

Fed up and fat! Hello world. This is my first post and I mean ever. So please bear with me as I get going, tell my story and I promise to smooth out the rough edges along the way. Let me start by introducing myself, I'm Mike and I love to walk. Sounds goofy. Really - walking is my primary form of aerobic exercise. I've been walking for over 13 years. The problem, I've walked 13,500 miles and now I need to catch a plane back home! A little help-anyone? Just kidding. LOL. Now the really big but"t" and I mean literally and figuratively.

Walking Away the Stress OK, I've figured it out. I've been walking a little less each month for the last three months because of a busy work schedule. My monthly average dropped to around 75 miles per month but more importantly my days per week of walking fell off a cliff - 3 per week. This does not work for me! I've got to be out there walking five to six days per week or it show up in my daily life in other ways, not just at the waist line. How does it show up in my life, you ask?

Twitter and a motivational feather.

Twitter and a gentle word of motivation. In fact, gentle as a feather. How about a gentle and encouraging "tweet"? You know those times, when you don't want to workout? How about a bit of encouragement? Might be nice to hear a "tweet" that lifts you up and gets you going. I thought Twitter would be perfect. Here's how it works: If you find yourself having one of those days when you just can't get going and need a gentle push. Drop me a short but sweet ZumeTweet and I'll drop you a word of encouragement in return. All "tweets" will be as gentle as a feather, positive and uplifting, something...
