The Wandering Hermit: Porch Cardio

Rainy morning.  I probably could have taken my morning walk; the rain was very light.  I did some jogging on the porch instead, which definitely is a completely different type of workout.  I am able to get my heart rate up faster, but it feels less intense than even uphill walking.

I have been trying to get my heart rate to return to normal as quickly as possible.  Consistent cardio exercises seem to be the way to do that.  In addition to my morning walk, doing just a 15 minute afternoon walk might be the best way to do that.  I’ll give that a try for a few days and see if that changes anything.
