So, here’s what the Prevention.com site says about today’s walking program:
Welcome back! You should be rejuvenated after yesterday’s rest day.
Huh?
Well, I knew that something wasn’t quite right — and didn’t I say so?
It’s been feeling as if the different kinds of walks might not be in quite the order that was intended…
Warm up with walking for about 10 minutes at an easy to moderate pace (5 to 6 on a 1-to-10 scale).
Here’s confirmation of it — because yesterday was most certainly not a rest day. It was one of the more vigorous interval-training walks we’ve had so far, and “rejuvenated” is not exactly the word I’d use.
I’m a bit ticked off, because Prevention has such a good reputation as a source of health and fitness information. Sure, mistakes can happen to anyone…. but I’d expected a little more attention to detail of the people behind this website.
Hmm, what to do?
The way I see it, walking is walking and exercise is exercise… and it’s all good. So I’m going to keep right on doing what the program says, day by day. After all, I’m getting the results that I was looking for, in terms of weight loss and improved energy and stamina. So, maybe it’s not a big deal?
Thanks, Bunk, for the visit and the kind words. Much appreciated! Hope you’ll stop by again, and I’ll see you at the forum!
My wife and I ran across a link to your blog on Chris G’s forums. After seeing your blog, my wife absolutely fell in love with the layout. You have a very quality thing going here and we wish you the best as you continue to brew it up!
