Working Out / was weight and blood work

[Guest guest]

I realize I forgot to say what (little) I do. Sorry, everyone. I have a

mobility problem, but this last half year I have been able to walk

without using a cane - much better for me, although a hassle at

the beginning. I said to my dh that going down the street without

my cane was like 'flying without a net' (which won't mean much

to most of you but evokes a circus movie of the '50s where a

couple of the trapeze artists 'flew' without). Anyway, I am better

at it now, and I regularly walk four or five miles a day. (I tried

doing a mile more, but it was too much too soon.)

 

Thanks to my local library, I also discovered exercise videos,

which are fun to watch but . . . . LOL However, as Alizah just

wrote:

I just got one of her walk aerobics videos! - for older people. (I guess

I qualify at 66.) It's great! Right now I do it in addition to the outside

walking, but I can see that it would be great on a nasty day in winter! I

must see some of her others and figure out which ones to order.

 

Any other suggestions???

 

I really am impressed by those of you who have responded - I think it's

great all the exercise you're getting! Nice work!

Pat,

What " little " you do 4-5 five miles of walking is tremendous. I feel like a

bum now. I barely get in 30 minutes a day. As for the Leslie videos I think the

3 mile would be good for you or if your health allows even the walk and jog one

that is 30 minutes.
