Irish you are right, she would love to go. When I got her that was my plan. But like alot of things, I didn't follow through with my plan. Walking would be the best choice for me because I don't have a gym near me and would not feel comfortable going yet. I will try changing the intensity like you said and see how that goes. We live in the country and I know it sounds dumb but I feel more comfortable walking in town than out here. But I am just going to do it till I get over it! lol
Thanks for the info. :)
