#your chest might hurt if you're overexerting yourself. walk slower - nothing embarrassing ab being slow

[mishkakagehishka]

corks how tf do u walk so much. my dorm is at the top of the hill and most of my classes are like halfway down it and making that walk both up and down is killer. my ankles hurt. my hips hurt. it makes my chest hurt. help

For me it's a case of getting used to (i walked some 10min uphill today to get to my hairdresser's and it killed me bc. I took public transport all the time here and fell out of the habit of walking), but don't you have chronic pain or smth of the sort? I vaguely remember you mentioning smth like that :[ honestly my suggestion sucks, but i'd say: leave earlier than you "have to" so you can take breaks to avoid overexerting yourself.

My commute's most annoying part is the 15min walk from my stop to my college. And it took 20ish min at first bc i had to take it slow until i got used to it.

#like if you're abled/don't suffer from chronic pain #it's pretty much a case of getting used to it #bc walking is also a workout believe it or not #idk how to translate kondicija - but it's like stamina specifically for physical workouts #walking builds kondicija so you can walk more. if you don't walk your leg muscles weaken with time and you have to build kondicija up again #your chest might hurt if you're overexerting yourself. walk slower - nothing embarrassing ab being slow #you can take in your surroundings better that way too :] #for hips idk but for ankles - find a good pair of shoes #for me converse SUCK for walking or running. they're too flat and kill my ankles. i usually walk in heels/wedges bc i need that #support ironically lmao (plus heels fix my posture) #anyway. yeah if it's chronic pain you're sol sadly but if not just try to build up your stamina #either way. take it easy take it slow keep a water bottle in your bag and don't be embarrassed to take a break if you need one #asks
