As long as I stay moving I'm fine but as soon as I stop I'm in severe pain and in bed for the fest of the day or more. So for me this is not a good form of relief

Walking Works 02/07/11
Reviewed by:
Location Not Given
I walk the dog twice a day. Everyday no matter how i feel. Some times we walk slowly and I don't think i will get home...other times I forget i have this thing and believe i must have dreamt it all. Depression is greatly reduced and the strange gait and wooden leg sensations I have been getting are much better when I walk.
When I stop walking the symptoms return. I'm afraid that if I stop walking i wont be able to one day and it's this fear that keeps me going...

Helps only during the walk. 01/03/11
Reviewed by:
Location Not Given
Walking is probably getting a higher rating than it deserves simply due to it having no side effects, being 100% cost effective, and basically 0 expense. But does it work?
I do get some pain relief while actually walking and of course it's healthy but:
1) It's really hard to get started when you are in pain to begin with.
2) The pain relief is not body wide.
3) Afterward I am likely to be in more pain.
Still, I try to do as much as I can for health reasons only.

Walk - even if it is a struggle to get started 10/01/06
Reviewed by:
Location Not Given
At this point in time I have not been walking much. I can definately tell the difference. When I walked regularly, everything was better. Now I do not feel as good, I have started to put on weight and yes I do get depressed. My Goal is Stop my bad habits here and now and begin my walking program again and stay with the plan. I am 67 and Want to Feel better. In a few weeks or months, I will enter a new report on myself. I promise myself, it will be better than this one.

I'd rather walk than "exercise" 11/21/05
Reviewed by:
Youngstown, Ohio, USA
If you can find the self discipline to stick with it I can tell you from experience that you'll be glad you did.
I definitely felt better when I walked, and on the days where I really had to push myself to do it I almost always felt better after I came back, but I'll also be the first to admit that it's just as hard to stick with as most of the other things that are "good for us" i.e. eating right, getting enough sleep, etc.
