Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Most days I walk in the early morning, especially in the summer. However, I recall walking in the middle of the day, in the scorching heat several years ago. This is one way I can tell I'm getting older. I just won't do that now. I'm getting picky in my old age and I don't like it. I didn't get my walk in yesterday morning and really wanted to go later in the day, but it was too humid. YUK! How about you? Have your exercise habits changed? _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

Cookie Member Registered: 06/02/06 Posts: 753 Loc: USA	Same here, Dotsie....I walk early in the morning too. I just can't take that hot sun beaming down on me in the middle of the day anymore either. I walk as soon as it is daylight. But here lately, it has been very hot & humid in the early hours and I haven't been able to go everyday. The heat and humidity just takes my breath away on those days. The heat index has been up over 100 every day for the last couple of weeks. Yesterday it was 108. That's too hot for this gal whom is accustomed to the air-conditioning! In the fall, I walk most anytime of the day, and in the winter I walk in the afternoon.

Dancing Dolphin Member Registered: 03/06/06 Posts: 2529 Loc: Southern California	Yup, me too. I used to be able to lie in the sun and tan - not any more. It's just too hot! I love walking in the cool of the evening now.

gerrbeck Registered: 05/27/07 Posts: 178 Loc: Jacksonville, FL	Jaw Jaw, you're so funny! Seriously though, the other day I got out and trimmed our bushes in the front yard, then came and stuck my head in the freezer to cool down. I haven't walked in a few weeks, it's just too hot and extremely humid here lately. I am soooooo ready for fall, my favorite season. I can't wait to open my windows and air out the house, I'm definitely more active in the fall.

Anno Member Registered: 09/15/05 Posts: 4434 Loc: Minneapolis Minnesota	I tend to take two or three shorter walks each day when it is hot. Heck, I do that in the winter when it is really cold, too. Maybe if you put your freezer up or down the stairs, you could count it a double exercise, JJ. _________________________ Follow our story of living, loving and laughing with a debilitating disease: http://www.multiplesystematrophyandshy-drager.blogspot.com

Vicki M. Taylor Member Registered: 01/06/03 Posts: 2196 Loc: Tampa, FL	I walk in the morning, trying to get out around 8 or 8:30, so I can be somewhat cooler. Then, in the afternoon, I walk around 5 pm. I take my dog with me as well, and carry a water bottle for him. _________________________ Vicki "What you believe yourself to be, you are." Claude M.

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	I walk from my bed in the morning to the bath, then from the bath to my office (in my bedroom) flip on thre computer and head for the kitchen, fix something, feed the animals, let them out (if they'll even go out in this heat, usually not) then back to the bedroom/office and SIT and work. Not much walking for me these days. Know I should, but ah, what the heck? Oh and JJ hearing that you stick your royal head into the freezer makes me think of a QUEENSICLE...

Dee Member Registered: 06/27/05 Posts: 2561 Loc: Alabama	First, it's so hot my dog won't even come out from under the house. I figure when she finally comes out, I'll come out...until then I'm staying inside. _________________________ Dee "They will be able to say that she stood in the storm and when the wind did not blow her away....and surely it has not.....she adjusted her sails" - Elizabeth Edwards
