Walking in silence is an ancient tradition rooted in mindfulness, a form of meditation that helps people focus on the physical sensations, thoughts and emotions of the present moment, without any judgment.

The Beauty of a Silent Walk

No talking. No podcasts. No music. Just some time alone with your thoughts.

Exercise scientists long ago debunked the notion that you need to hit 10,000 steps each day to stay healthy and live longer. Even a little movement is good, they argue, though more is better. Now, a new study underscores that people can reap significant benefits from a comparatively small number of daily steps.

Even 4,000 Steps a Day Can Have Big Health Benefits

But the more you walk, the better off you'll be.

I feel like we've all accepted that men don't listen to AFAB people, but we don't focus enough on the fact that women don't listen to AFAB people either

Like I told my boss that I have a lot going on right now so might need a gentle reminder occasionally to do something that I've forgotten about and somehow she twisted that into me asking her to set aside 15 minutes every morning to send me a full task list and how absurd that is to request. Like...um yeah I didn't....that's why I didn't request that

the thing about "just do exercise" as a solution to disability is that, like, i do have to admit sometimes it's genuine, especially with mental health stuff i've found getting out of the house has been really good for me on that front and i can't deny that.

but on the flip side, it actively makes my physical disability worse on some days to exercise, the strain it puts on my leg leaves it in pain for the rest of the day or sometimes the day after and a lot of the time i'll get home completely exhausted even if i enjoyed the walk despite that. i've been getting out for casual strolls and longer hikes more as of this year and even if i've seen the mental benefits, the physical ones i have not seen, and only ended up suffering more for it.

so, i don't know. i have a very specific disability that gets one of those generic muscle disorder diagnoses so maybe this only applies to me, but i think if you give regular exercise at least a solid few weeks and it is just causing more pain and fatigue then its worth telling your doctor to shut the fuck up (if you can).

Different Types Of Walking Recommended For Seniors

Before we get into the various types of walking workouts, let's discuss the benefits of walking for seniors. Walking has several benefits that improve overall health and enjoyment of life. Walking, for instance, strengthens the heart and improves cardiovascular health. It enhances blood circulation, lowers blood pressure, and reduces the likelihood of cardiovascular disease and stroke.

Second, walking is an effective way to burn calories and maintain a healthy weight. Walking on a daily basis can help seniors manage their weight and avoid obesity-related health issues including diabetes and joint difficulties. Walking also helps to strengthen muscles and bones, which is vital for maintaining flexibility and coordination while also minimizing the chance of falling.

I'm so sorry that people are once again missing the point of your spiderverse posts. You do not deserve to be called mean things for pointing out the inherent ableism in the art direction of those films. Thanks for your posts!

Aww thank you for your kind words!!!! I will say, I usually do not put these posts out there, unless I am willing and able to deal with people like this. I understand feeling adverse and riled up by reading "fuck your favourite movie that has brought you a lot of joy" as part of the first sentence, but also I think the rest of my post was fairly nuanced given it's opening line. Fun fact: I will also admit... I woke up, saturday morning and had angry eyebrows and thought "I wanna start shit" and I was fully ready to just post "fuck spiderverse because it has ableist art direction" - but as always re-reading the post I figured adding nuance and context may be more helpful to the conversation... so honestly, I think the post is mostly a calm statement with an attention-seeking Opening line. Thank you again for your kind words and support! Maybe i should do these posts on LinkedIn instead of tumblr, in the hopes that anyone at Sony may actually see this... Rest assured - i am more amazed and amused by people threatening me over an opinion on art and what makes a good consumer oriented product.

my sibling, who is too disabled to work but might be required to because of new proposed laws 🤝 me, who is not officially disabled and contemplating if it's even worth it to try getting a parking placard now that my job's calling for a return to office
