How do you keep fit and healthy?

How do you keep fit and healthy - do you eat healthy? Exercise? Make your own food? Have an active job?

Re: How do you keep fit and healthy?

I walk for miles, love my local park with it's huge lake where I can feed the ducks and then on to squirrel's wood.

I'm looking for a house so it's street walking for now checking them all out, I eat quite healthily, lovely veggie stir fry dishes, plenty of fresh veg too but I refuse to give up my treats, Asda's milk chocolate bars, yummy

Re: How do you keep fit and healthy?

I don't think I am fit and healthy these days although I do all the right things with regard to eating and taking exercise.

I guess with some of us when we reach a certain age a lifetimes wear and tear, our genes and misuse catch up with us .

I couldn't run a marathon but I manage to walk about 1.5 miles 3 times a week, dig my garden, clean our windows on the outside and I rarely ail anything.

Re: How do you keep fit and healthy?

I eat healthily mostly with the odd treat occasionally, I've been a gym member for around 10yrs tho circuit training now, less boring, I also do a part time job that keeps me moving.
I'm a person that likes to be 'doing' something so all in all I keep fairly fit for my age.

Re: How do you keep fit and healthy?

I try and walk for 1 hr a day if I can, but I have Sciatica down my left leg which makes me stop and start. I eat healthy three meals a day, mostly chicken with vegetables and lots of fruit, I do drink a lot of water or Green Tea. I do light exercises indoors.

Re: How do you keep fit and healthy?

I too have Sciatica in my leg and walking has been really painful at times unless I've taken all of my pain meds but now since I've been using my new Tens machine I haven't any pain whatsoever, it's like a miracle!!

Re: How do you keep fit and healthy?

I think I (we) eat healthily, the only tinned food I buy is baked beans and I threw my frying pan out years ago.
My eating sin is Magnums but I look on them as a treat

I can't walk too far before my back starts aching, it also starts to ache if I am stood still too long. I do have an exercise bike which I will use occasionally when I need to lose a pound ..or two...or three.

I do all the gardening including digging, cleaning inside windows (we have a window cleaner for the outside), housework etc. My husband does the ironing due to me being unable to stand still for long.

Thankfully health-wise, other than my back, I consider myself quite healthy.

Re: How do you keep fit and healthy?

Until I broke my ankle I kept reasonably fit with swimming & walking.
Hoping to get back to full steam soon.
