"After a slow building up I am now able to walk most mornings a week.  For me it’s a wonderful way to start the day.

After my MD diagnosis I stopped hiking, which was an activity I did regularly.  Eventually after some years I decided to try it again.  I increased the length of my morning walks gradually,  and when possible I walked on soft sand (great for balance training). 

Whatever ever I do, whether it’s walking, hiking or going on holidays, I make sure I am well prepared.  For me “being prepared” eliminates the stress of the “what if” moments I live with on a daily basis.  

IMPORTANT:  We are all different.  Listen to your body. It doesn't matter wither it's  a 5 minute of walk, one hour or whatever,  you have walked! " 

"I started karate because I thought why not. I couldn't stand up with my eyes closed. Karate works on balance, strength, endurance and discipline. I explored quite a few clubs before stumbling (haha excuse the pun) upon my current club. 

The really traditional clubs had no room to adjust for my needs so I respectfully tried again."
