Cauda Equina Syndrome

Hi Durdle, it's good to see you!
I agree with you.  Walking is the best thing to do, fresh air is wonderful and it generally makes me feel better.  But I am like you.  Sometimes I just don't feel like it!  When I am sore I just want to go back to bed.  What's a good motivator?

My motivator is to have someone to walk with. During the summer one of my sisters is normally around and willing to walk so that is perfect: chat and visit while you walk! Sometimes it is nice to walk alone and clear your head but most times I like company. In the colder months, I really don't find it easy to get motivated to go outside. We have a treadmill in the basement with a TV on the wall in front of it. I can go there and walk while I watch a show that my husband doesn't like. Quite often one of us goes down to walk while the other watches a different program on TV upstairs. Works as a good compromise.

I have a harder time getting out in the summer. It is just a little too hot for me. Trying to get out in the evening after it's cooled down a bit.
