I remember the last time I used Strarford's swimming pool, Margaret; I was ill for a week afterwards.

That's the trouble, it is hard to shed the calories when we get older. But I still have a little of what I fancy.

I am active Margaret, but could do with losing a bit of weight. Walking to the pub helps, but what I consume once there doesn't.

That's great, you both keep very active. I'm outdoors a lot in the summer doing gardening, I mainly do a two mile walk with my friend once or twice a week. When I go shopping I will walk into town, but not every time. My friend also does aqua exercises at the local swimming pool, but I don't fancy doing that as I have heard people can pick up germs from the pool water and the chlorine can irritate the eyes.

I do a 15-20 minute walk during my lunch break every day, plus a 30 minute walk round my local area 2-3 times a week. I also spend an hour or 2 on my allotment 2 or 3 times a week.

I walk for about an hour and a half each day (2*45 minutes) with the dog.

How much exercise are we getting, do you go to the gym, or like to go walking, or swimming?
