Part 5/8:
As my stepping routine continued, I felt the accumulating fatigue manifesting in my aching feet and overall tiredness. By the end of week three, it became clear that incorporating at least one rest day a week would be beneficial not just physically, but also mentally. The repetitive monotony of merely walking for exercise—the same aisles, same paths—became draining.
To alleviate foot soreness, I experimented with alternating between different pairs of shoes. This small adjustment helped distribute the stress of walking across different pressure points on my feet, ultimately providing some relief.
