Re: How do you keep fit and healthy?

Had a Tunturi cycle for thirty years (spares still available) and am on my third rowing machine. Keep a log of activity. Not enough walking though. Mrs Dobra is strict with the diet though....

Re: How do you keep fit and healthy?

I do a mix of exercise, pilates, aqua fit and a bit of low impact aerobics to 60's and 70's music. My stamina has improved a lot and is better than it was in my 30's I think but of course there are the joint problems that come with age.
I think that keeping as mobile as possible is the best way even if the body protests.

Re: How do you keep fit and healthy?

I eat healthy home prepared meals, walk 2 - 3 miles per day - usually early morning when the air is still fresh, do the Times crossword everyday to shake up the grey matter, read a lot, have several hobbies, socialize with my friends as often as possible - and sleep like a log!

Re: How do you keep fit and healthy?

I have been a slob for four years since Jenny passed away. One of the factors in my decision to buy the place I am downsizing to is that it is 5 minutes walk to the leisure centre. I even bought a pair of gym short,two pairs of swimming trunks and a pair of new trainers last Saturday

Re: How do you keep fit and healthy?

I exercise hard every day and here is how for those starting out. When using a computer put your hand on the mouse and push forward and if able pull it back again. Simple?
When you have mastered that try increasing it to doing it twice a day for a week.
By this time your hand and arm movement should have improved.
Next week try the same with the other hand for again a week.

Mastered that? then continue pushing and pulling the mouse several times a day to keep the fitness regime up.

I have an active job, I walk a lot, cycle a lot and do a regular Zumba class.

I cook from scratch healthy balanced meals, no desserts (unless entertaining) or special meals out.

Re: How do you keep fit and healthy?

Hi All, just joined this forum for primarily to find 50+ people who try to get or stay fit. I've managed to lose a lot of weight, and am trying to get into weight training. At the moment I'm going 3-4 times a week. Foodwise I keep a check on the amount I eat by using 'My fitness pal' App.
It allows you to keep a check on calories and nutrition.
