A brisk evening stroll gets the heart pumping

How has your diet been during the past few months?

Have you found yourself comfort eating and snacking more on unhealthy food?

Speaking to friends and family is revealing that lockdown weight gain is certainly a thing!

At least during the first one back in April, the sun was shining for a lot of the time and garden centres had never been so busy.  Fast forward to October and November, ends of hurricanes, biblical rainstorms and dark morning and evenings.  Still, let’s look on the bright side – because there is always one if you look hard enough. Wales won’t be having a hosepipe ban any time soon.

I’ve taken to making a concerted effort to take our Spaniel out for a walk every night in the dark, whether it’s raining or not.  He loves it, as he told me the other night as we strolled home “Dad, there’s no such thing as the wrong weather, just the wrong clothes.”  He’s right you know.

A brisk evening stroll certainly gets the heart pumping, keeps the old joints supple and more importantly, stops the dog waking me up at 2am to go to the toilet!
