Ok, so this was a random survey? lol I can just see all of the group that replied in a class grunting and groaning or as we say, "huffin and puffin."

Boldprint, that is an interesting website but before I sign up for something else, since this is a virtual walk, I assume it is "scouts' Honor" kind of thing. What if you can't walk as fast as you want to do the scenery, keeping in mind that this is a government website, do you think anyone ever skips ahead?

And do you think they are watching? :)))

Sorry, not a government scientist. It is a study. Sounds good.

Regarding the virtual trail across America, I meant to say you can log your mileage for walking/running or cycling either separately or combined.

LOL.KyleesNan! Maybe you can email him through one of those links? That would be so cool if we managed to get him here, no? You have a good way with words....c'mon :)

I loved seeing how active this group is, that's wonderful.

Kylees,

Being honest I hate never jogged for pleasure, though I love the treadmill. Until recently I could go 45 mins at 2.5 mph. But recent declines have had a adverse impact on my ability. I don't see how this helps you, but there you go. Take care -- Bill

Don't jog, never could. Never had the wind for it even as a kid.
However, yesterday my pulmy suggested mild exercise and deep breathing. He has never done that in 3 years.
I don't have COPD/Emphy. No diagnosis as to why I am hypoxic.
It surprised me that he suggested this, though I am glad he did.
As long as we use an oximeter, I think it is a good idea for those of us who can do tolerate it.
Take care,
Linda In CA
