Re: At this age, I think exercise might kill me if I start.
Hi Sue I would guess at least some of members of the class will feel the same about themselves as you do.Re: At this age, I think exercise might kill me if I start.
LOL, no, you won't die. Not if you take it slow and do baby steps. I just turned 53 and have hip bursitis and multiple joint pain and some days just walking is an achievement. I think I would benefit from some mild exercise, but I'm too lazy. However, I'm currently in weight loss mode and have lost 20 pounds (1 stone, 6 pounds) without exercising at all.Re: At this age, I think exercise might kill me if I start.
You are nothing but a spring chicken young as you want to be, plenty ways to keep fit and active, dancing, swimming, and walking. It depends i you want to be solitary or in a group for support when exercising.Re: At this age, I think exercise might kill me if I start.
Well done you for your weight loss!Re: At this age, I think exercise might kill me if I start.
Well done Hope for taking the first step. Did you know that by exercising and losing some weight that Type Two Diabetes is reversible. Fifty Seven is by no means too old to start exercising, but you must take it very easy and build up gently. You must choose an exercise that you enjoy or you will not keep it up so try a selection:- Gym, Swimming, Walking, Cycling, Dancing, Marathon Running.......Well maybe not Marathon Running, but at 66 I run about 20 miles per week and there are people older than me who can leave me standing.Re: At this age, I think exercise might kill me if I start.
Hope, as others have just said, you have done brilliantly already, and I am quite sure you will have nothing to fear in your new class.Re: At this age, I think exercise might kill me if I start.
Well done Hope you are a star! My neighbour became ill and put on loads of weight last year. In January she joined a gym and was very nervous about going for the same reasons you stated. But not only has she lost weight but has made friends with a lovely group of ladies. I think she is 68.Re: At this age, I think exercise might kill me if I start.
