Re: Do you exercise

I do 2 exercises classes a week, plus two yoga classes, plus walk my dogs and do plenty of gardening.

It frustrates me though, as I cannot take them the lovely long distances I used to, as I have foot problems now.

Re: Do you exercise

I make frequent trips to the kitchen for cups of tea - does that count?

Can I ask,what type of exercise classes they are ,Mups.

Do you think,your foot problems were caused through exercise?

Re: Do you exercise

Mainly walking three dogs three times a day. I also go out on one of my bikes as often as I can. I did a three mile run/walk/crawl today by way of a bit of training for my Run For Life next month. Far too hot though. I did complete it but I have to admit there was more walking and drinking water than anything.

What I call the 'ordinary' exercise classes are made up of fairly simple things with small dumbells and/or leg weights (optional), and just a simple run through to get muscles working.

My yoga is with the Hindu people, who teach differently to the English Hatha yoga.
We gently exercise just about every part of our body.
We do special breathing, and balance, suppleness, fingers, hands, toes, and even eyes exercises - everything.

Exercise isn't all about building muscle IMO, and maintaining suppleness and balance is very important as we get older, even for simple daily things like reaching your shoe laces or toe nails!
