@graoumia and @DorothyMH, sorry for taking so long to answer; it was a busy weekend.

The 60 Days of Walking Program has a weekly pattern:
  • day 1: 60 min walk
  • day 2: 45 min walk + part 2
  • day 3: 45 min walk + part 2
  • day 4: 60 min walk
  • day 5: 45 min walk + part 2
  • day 6: 60 min walk
  • day 7: 90 min walk
Part 2 are circuits of 2 exercises, usually 20-30 reps each, and 2 minutes march steps or walking: 3/5/or7 sets with no rest. So, at level I (3 sets) about 10 min, level III (7 sets) about 20 min. Part 2 can be done right after the walk or later in the day.

All of that to say, the time commitment is roughly one hour per day for 6 days each week, and 90 minutes one day each week.

I hope that helps. I am enjoying the program.

@graoumia, i am doing well; thank you! I had never read 1984 until now. Orwell is a terrific writer. I read Animal Farm when i was a teen, and now i want to re-read it. One of my daughters and i are on the third year of our own 20th Century Classics Reading Challenge. We choose one book from each decade. The next on our list is Notes of A Native Son by James Baldwin. I am also starting My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry by Fredrik Backman, which i picked up at a Little Free Library.

Glad to hear that. I read Animal farm when my son had to ready it for school, it is an interesting story. There is a new "book house" near my home, a small cottage made with wood with free books, i am planning to go and look for it soon. But i plan to read The Declaration of the Rights of Woman and of the Female Citizen as my son will have his french exam on it, to help him get prepared.
