aMorePerfectUnion, thank you for the ideas!
Humans were are designed for walking. Throughout the entire history of mankind people walked all the time, until automobiles. Walked to friends, the stores, to get water, to the farms, to work. Not walking degrades the whole body. I know it personally as I used to walk daily, a lot. For a year or more I can barely walk, and it’s gotten worse over time. I can feel the circulation, heart, lungs, everything - degrading.
(Dh knows a good treatment method and I am begging him to start regularly with it. I will report back if I can start walking again.)
You’re welcome!
