Re: Elderly Exercise?
MKJ, looking at the photo here you are looking good !. I wish I could get into a healthy routine again. I used to excericse/gym/trainer and loved it.Then my husband passed away four years ago, and now I don't have any motivation and sadly I put on weight as I don't eat right either. Maybe if I look at these forums it might give me some incentive to start again. Oh, and I used to run a little too ! got lost in a canyon once !!Re: Elderly Exercise?
Re: Elderly Exercise?
I have ostioarthritas in My spine,shoulders, and right knee (the other was replaced)...do stretching exercises every morning to straighten Myself up,5 min's on step ups, then 10 min's on the treadmill..just recently I bought a recumbant exercise bike which has a comfortable seat with a backrest..I love it and can happily pedal away while listening to music or watching tv,I can also use a couple of 1kg weights to exercise My arms & shoulders at the same time....Happy exercising Folks,it should be a pleasure not a pain ;~)Re: Elderly Exercise?
MKJ - thanks for your suggestions , again I've started today, took my two dogs a walk with a little 'trot' every so many yards ! got home, had some greek yogurt/walnut bits/banana for breakfast !, and a few squats while brewing my tea !! got to start somewhere ...with little steps ! thanks because as I read your blog its an inspiration, and other little helpful hints I find along the way too ! have a good day !Re: Elderly Exercise?
oh for all, I am new to the forums - lived in Derby UK but been in the States for 30 years. Married my U.S. Paratrooper pen pal 1985, married for 26 happy years, until he passed away 4 years ago tragically. He was the one behind all my fitness things I did, but for the last four years lost all motivation to keep fit ...unitl now ! I am going to give this a try !.Re: Elderly Exercise?
