Since TM, I've said that walking for me is like a marathon for a "normal" person. After 50 feet or so, I'm soaked and feeling like I'd done a 5K marathon - or what I would think it would be like. Even doing dishes is a major taks anymore. I know my heart rate increases by walking or doing 15 minutes of work and it takes several minutes for my heart to calm down to a normal pace. I think with TM, it is a resistance type of exercise - it takes so much more for us to move - so much more than before - and everything we do is a challenge and an exercise in determination. That's my 2 cents worth. Prayer and thoughts for each and every one, Candy K.
