Most of my post was about congratulating Carol, Mags. Hopefully that would keep her motivation up.
Nobody is incaple of doing a little exercise even if it's just a walk. You surely cannot argue that looking after our health is the most important thing in our lives, it starts with exercise and a sensible diet.
Good morning to you too!!

Good morning to you too!!
I am not arguing with you Floydy, just making you aware that many older people are unable to exercise as such.

Good afternoon to you too!

Re: Post your daily exercise routine

It's good to exercise if you can.

My local leisure centre does a 'chair exercise' class and it's very popular.

When I was coming from swimming one day I saw them queuing to go in. They all looked over 70 yrs old and some didn't look in good condition for standing exercise.

There's something for everyone really - unless you're in great pain of course.

That reminds me of one of my close friends, she has ataxia, which is very similar to Multiple Sclerosis and she is losing the ability to walk as her illness affects her balance badly. She has recently been going to a class for people like herself and its Zumba with a difference, it's movements sat down in a chair. She loves it as she was beginning to feel pretty useless, it's opened up a whole new world to her which is wonderful.

I'm trying to encourage her to come swimming with me but she hasn't braved that yet, I'll keep trying although I do understand she finds it so difficult and exhausting to simply dress and undress.

When I think about it, I'm so, so privileged to still be able to walk and carry out other exercises. On that note I am going to go swimming tonight, thank you Carol for getting me off my butt!

That's so true Lion Queen, I'm so grateful for still being able to run every other day, some things we take for granted and only realise how lucky we were when we can't do them anymore...

Re: Post your daily exercise routine

Hi, everyone. My grandmother, a single mother who reared my dad as a single mom when her husband abandoned them during the height of the depression, was a phenomenal woman. More than once, she told me that keeping one's health, home, and finances squared to weather almost any storm.

Well, she was right. For the sake of her privacy, I won't elaborate much but to say that my dear friend is dying of cancer and has her daughter now living with me. As you can imagine, I am privileged to be able to help as I can, but I have been unable to post for some time with my plate overflowing. I am still running and don't know what I would do without that escape every day! I am so happy to read that so many of you are doing well and exercising!

Thanks for looking in Surfermom, and after following your situation for some time I almost expected the outcome, and had one of my parents survived the loss of the other I would have done exactly the same. Unfortunately, after over sixty years of married life together, after mum passed away my dad followed after only five months of living with a broken heart......Good to see you back....
