Emma’s walking challenge blog – week 1

Apr 28, 2021

Hello walkers!

I hope everyone has had a successful week and at least we got the sunshine to help us get out and do the steps!

So last week was certainly a challenge! I started a new job and was having to travel all around Scotland for different types of training. Therefore, I felt that half my time last week was either spent at a desk or in the car.

However, that didn’t stop me! I went out a walk every day after work which was certainly easy and enjoyable due to it being very sunny!

I went out a walk with a friend two of the nights but other nights I just popped in my headphones and off I went. Not only was I getting fresh air and exercise I also felt better mentally which was amazing as I’d been very stressed at work trying to learn all the new things.

That has been one benefit that I would say I can’t wait to continue. Lockdown has been very hard on us all physically and emotionally and exercising does help!

I also continued with my personal trainer and attended bootcamp so overall last week was a success!

I know It can be hard if you are working a desk job like me because you are stuck at a desk all day but once you get some fresh air at night everything seems simpler.

Now going onto week 2 I’m a little worried about the weather but I made a promise to myself no matter what and if it rains or thunders I’ll still be trying to smash my goals.

Hope everyone is having fun with the walking and I can’t wait to see how everyone does next week!
