    Yesterday I walked 10 minutes around my house because my watch wanted me to. Today I half jogged and half walked because I wanted to. It’s a big deal for me because I suffer from vertigo and low blood pressure and weird shit happens to my ears.

    I usually do a lot of walking and yoga to keep fit anyway but I need intensity movements if I’m gonna give up smoking. @[email protected] you have inspired me.

      Hey that’s awesome! From my experience exercises really helped with giving up smoking. That vertigo and blood pressure issue is a bit of a worry… have you got a good GP you can talk to about finding more intense exercise that won’t upset the apple cart?

        My low blood pressure I manage with diet (red meat, pulses etc). Vertigo has more to do with my inner ear and the fact that my eyes are different strengths (one is long sighted the other is short sighted). What I found is dancing helps a lot because I don’t have to get up and down. I just need to increase the amount I do. Thanks again for your posts because I genuinely get inspiration from you. You are a champion. ♥
