“I walked away from a killer”

For more than 40 years I’ve been overweight. I developed diabetes and blood pressure problems.

I started by trying to walk up to 5,000 steps a day. It wasn’t easy. However, after a year I was up to 15,000 steps a day and officially no longer diabetic and didn’t have any issues with my blood pressure.

It’s amazing how the simplest form of exercise can have a positive impact to our overall mental and physical health.

“I walked away from a killer”

My friend and I used to walk together some years ago and last year, we decided it was time to get our walking shoes on again. Both of us knew that we had a better chance of committing if we were relying on each other.

Initially we were happy to reach 10,000 steps a day, but gradually we built our fitness up. Now anything less than a two hour walk barely qualifies in our books!

“I walked away from a killer”

A family history of heart disease, creeping weight gain in my middle years, a love of walking and the great Australian outdoors has led me to increase my fitness by walking regularly.

Heart Foundation Walking has helped me reach my goals! I am loving life and challenging my fitness levels through an activity I love.
