Life On Kensington Road May 2016

A Great Place To Live

Walking In Rossmoor May 2nd 2016

We walked several times post operation but frankly we decided the camera was not something we needed to mess with and we were concentrated on not getting tired and keeping up the pace.

We did not walk fast but were sustained! Just what the doctor ordered!

Did You Know? - Post heart surgery steps to take (pardon the pun)

  • Make your exercises a regular/daily routine. Try to walk every day and gradually increase your distance over time.
  • Instead of going for a straight distance, you may want to walk around your block several times so that you are always close to home.
  • Don't worry about how fast you are walking, but concentrate on how much you are walking.
  • Take someone with you the first few times you walk.

They were first described by botanists in 1759.
