Yesterday I started a new job and one good thing about it (besides being a very interesting service!) is that I can start walking to work. Everyday exercise is good, but it's not always easy to do it, especially if you have a sedentary job. But here goes!

ShareAlso, I have a very nice walking path. I wanted to show some pictures from my morning walk, and of course write a few words about the first day ...
First day at work
So, how was your first day at work? I can say that everyone was very nice and I received a very professional treatment with a prepared workplace with a flower on the desk, an initial coffee with the closest colleagues, a tour of the office and a meeting with the manager.
But no matter how good it is, you become extremely tired of all the new impressions. A lot of new information, new people and no familiar routines to "rest in". But I think this is going to be really good!
Walking to work
It takes just over half an hour to walk from our houseboat in Pampas marina to Fridhemsplan on Kungsholmen where I now work. It is good everyday exercise and best of all, it is a really nice walking route. I walk along the waterfront almost all the way, until it's time to turn up at Fridhemsplan. Here you can see some pictures from yesterday's walk!

What a nice walk to work you have.
I just walk across the street. 🙂
New tasks and a new workplace are always tiring in the beginning. I hope it will be good!

Nice walking route, good luck with your new job!

admin says:
Lennart, yes it feels like a good opportunity to get (free) everyday exercise! 🙂
Anne-Marie, just walking across the street to work is really a luxury! And yes, you get very tired without doing anything special, haha ...
Imelda, right? Thanks, mate!

Nice walking route! Nice to be able to walk and philosophise a bit in beautiful surroundings both before and after work. Good luck to you!

Nice walking path, with in a few months beautiful spring flowers along the waterfront and some birdsong while you get your exercise for the day. Good luck with the job!

What a wonderful walk! Beautiful surroundings and exercise on top of that. Perfect!

Ama de casa says:
Nice with such a good start to the new job! But of course, you get exhausted from all the new impressions and not least from all the new people, faces and names 🙂 The most important thing is still to get into the food routines, what applies at lunch and coffee and so on 😉 .
A beautiful walkway - luxurious!

It is good that the first day felt good at the new job and often it is the case that "first impression last". But that you get tired of everything new is probably inevitable. Having free exercise built in every day when you walk is great. And of course it is nice to be able to walk along the water. Even cycling this route is nice and extra good if you are in a hurry...
I smile when I see beautiful Karlberg where I lived as a 10-year-old. Just as beautiful then as today and with a lovely park.
Wishing you an equally good day today.

A dream location, I would say! During the spring/summer it is the world's most beautiful walking path with so much to see - not least the boating on the canal.
You also received a very professional reception at your new job - it's nice to have the first day done. It's always a bit nervous to start in a new place. Just remembering all the names...

The wise guy says that the best exercise is the one that gets done....
Wonderful road whatever the weather... go on Helena 🙂 🙂

It is so wonderful with walking distance to work and even better now that spring is almost here! I also walk every day to and from work and get everyday exercise on the purchase:-)... .

That walk, what a great start to the working day.

Such a nice walking path, imagine how beautiful it will be in the spring/summer.
Moving around, such everyday exercise, is the best 🙂 .

Good luck in your new job.
Lovely walking route you have, and nice not to have to use public transport.

Faster and more enjoyable walk between home and work than if you worked in Gävle.
Good luck with your job, continued travelling and any leisure time.

Alexandra says:
Seems like a good walking route to work, it will certainly be even nicer when spring and summer arrive!
I myself have a 1 minute walk to work haha so no everyday exercise to speak of directly ?

I recognise your route as I have walked there a number of times when I lived in Solna.
Great new job and nice welcome, good luck!

What a great start to your new job. How wonderful to be able to walk or cycle to work when you live in a big city, not having to use public transport. Then walking along the seafront must be wonderful, luxurious.

Matts Torebring says:
I rejoice with you! I also go during the "risk of slipping period". Then I cycle the rest of the year. I only have a single kilometre to walk one way. It is so relaxing and nice. In addition, the doctors have told me that it is wrong to run hard for one hour a week, as I did before. Walk for half an hour every day and you will get a lot of new energy. Just to say congratulations to you!

I'm glad you will enjoy your new job!
I myself exercise in the forest, Wonderful! 🙂
Take care and enjoy.....

I know the route you take, I have also walked it a number of times when I lived in Solna and was going to Fridhemsplan.
In my younger days, I went to cadet balls at Karlberg Castle.
Good luck in your new job

Anita, it can be good for both body and soul I think 🙂 Thank you!
The motorhome Helge, it will be nice to see how the walkway changes with the seasons! 🙂
Lena, yeah but right? Win win 🙂
Ama de casa, just one such thing is a challenge! Learning how to find the coffee room, for example... I've learnt a few names... but far from all of them!
Ditte, cycling could also be an idea. But my bike is stolen so I have no bike unfortunately ...
BP, yes the name thing ... it will take a while 😉 .
Solan, platitude or not ... it's very true!
Petra, great that you can also go to work! It will be nice to experience spring this way!
Steve, you both clear your mind and get exercise.
Åsa in Åsele, I like this everyday exercise! 🙂
Rantamor, I have almost always travelled by bus or metro, and yes, it's nice not to be dependent on it!
Henny, yes, the distance was much less attractive with the job in Gävle...!
Alexandra, nice with 1 minute to work!!! Not so much exercise of course, but you are good at exercising anyway! 🙂
Anonymous, glad you recognise yourself!
Husisblogg, Stockholm is after all a big city with lots of water and green areas! Very nice not to be dependent on public transport!
Matts, yes some exercise every day is probably better for several reasons! We have it good that can walk or cycle! 🙂
Rolle and Carina, it's great to exercise in nature!
JoY, how nice that you were there at the cadet balls! Certainly nice memories!

Inga Magnusson says:
Seems like a reasonably long walk to work. Hope you like the new job and get good colleagues, because that's gold!

Anette says:
Perfect distance to work to actually get some free exercise, then it is no disadvantage that the walk is also beautiful. It will be nice to see it change character with the seasons.
A new job, new colleagues, new routines - it takes a while before everything feels familiar and you can be completely yourself.
Everything seems to be working out for the best.

admin says:
No M, good colleagues are super important, I agree!
Anette, yes, it does take a while before you feel completely relaxed, but that is part of a new job. And there will certainly be a new photo round when the seasons start to change! 😉

What a nice treatment. 🙂
Would be nice to see "this post" again, with pictures taken of the same things but once in summer, once in spring and once in autumn. Your walk during Sweden's different seasons.
Have a nice weekend!
