What Do You Do For Exercise?

[Yander]

I do yard work and projects. If I have enough energy to throw away at exercise, I have enough to throw at a projects to get something else done.

I can relate, I bought another Kayak to go along with my other Kayak that sits in the barn so that I could get one of my kids/sisters/friends to go with me. The new one has never been on the water. I have a newish bike I bought last year, only been out 8 or so times this year.

I have so many projects that I feel like I need to save my energy to do them lol. In honesty, I know I have to get myself moving or I'll not enjoy the remainder of my life. I got a TRX suspension trainer Workout system last year and have used it twice this week. My legs are still sore. Trying to start using it every other day.

When I feel energetic I browse the forums.

I usually do something every morning. I do 6 miles on the treadmill a couple times a week, but I run/walk that. Other days I'll do pull ups, push ups and that sort of thing. And then the 3rd day, I'll do everything core related...like I got this modified plank thing I do.

I don't kill myself with exercise, I don't push it to the limit or anything. The goal is merely to keep my body active and agile. I'm 50 now, I could keep this routine going for a while still.

If I was 50 again, I'd be a w***e....lol

On one of the treadmills at my gym somebody had the nerve to leave a water bottle in the Pringles can holder...!

I attend a senior gym called "fitness over fifty"
No body plays Rocky there. Everyone is humble and trying to stay tuned up and in the game of life.
Some people are ALL messed up but they put one foot in front of the other and persevere with a smile on their face.
It's a great place with staff that is supportive and knowledgeable.

Walking, 3-4 miles/day. As a plus it helps keep my diabetes in check

Me too. The dog insists on it every day. About a mile and a half on my trails and the rest on adjoining greenway property.

Do this now. Your heart will thank you later. Seriously.

Yes. Learned this in cardiac rehab after a triple bypass a few years ago.

Ya, I was on a Cath table some year's ago and lucky for me, they found nothing to fix. Since that wasn't any fun, I'll try to not do that again. Everyone who says they don't need to exercise there heart, does need to have a good cardiologist.

I heard something interesting last night...


Never let a pathologist examine you.
