Anyone have little tips on any small exercise we should do to keep joints and balance health .
For any age. Like sometimes I do pushups off my kitchen counter.
These little things to keep are balance and healthy, the little things we do make a difference, standing on your toes , up and down while waiting for the microwave.
Anything like that
I'm a stretcher, 😆 I love to stretch, use to do yoga a lot.
Anyways this person was complaining about people looking at her odd when she is in public and stretches. I've often stood in line at a grocery store, stretched my arms up my neck, and have had people look at me weird.
Isn't stretching good for you or am I and the lady on Reddit odd? 😆 Should I keep my stretching inside the house?
20 years ago, people would look at you odd if you carry a water bottle around.
So I'm thinking maybe 10 years down the road it maybe will be more excepted and less odd?
Honestly I think canes are kind of cool. Saw a show on Netflix bridgerton, a lady has a cane and she seems powerful with it.
Riverdale, 👏🤗
There are also other activities that are non exercise related. There are periodic trips, There is a fairly extensive library. Overall it is a social environment. It is strictly for seniors. I can't recall if the minimum age to join is 50 or 55 but right around there.
I do some other classes elsewhere but this is a good alternative on days I can't find other classes offered. If nothing else I use the gym although that is my least favorite activity as I prefer structure. One can also hire a personal trainer at a much lower rate that is generally offered elsewhere.
And birds are made to fly, rabbits are Hopers,
We were made for walking, I think that's the best thing we can do for are bodies
Missed you Alva
Hard to beat yoga for balance and lots of free videos on youtube
I babysit 2-3 days a week and she is in a pick me up and carry me everywhere phase. Apparently she’s decided the honeymoon phase of her learning to walk is over.
Lol.
This is my exercise, other than my housework . I need to get back to walking on my days home but it’s been too hot .
CX, that's awesome!
I just got home from boccie, won all 3 games.☺️ It was hot and I'm tired.
I’ve discovered that it’s been having an incredible help to my mental health.
I do an hour MWF and walk an hour on Tues and Sat. Thurs and Sundays off.
💪
As I age I have to play smarter and begrudgingly accept my limitations.
Sadly, I am still very overweight. Working on it...
My circle of female friends box, play volleyball, swim, do martial arts, bicycle and lots of walking. We’re all 60-ish.
Does it count as exercise moving house and for the last two months, constantly up and down, I must have lifted hundredths of pounds.
Actually big improvement as I wear tank tops, (you know those arms which go just a tad flabby)appear better.
So I am motivated now to lift weights, just need to find them!
Walking is impossible as we reached 40s ( or high 80 for our American friends) and it is smoky from fires.
I've bored people here before with my gushing over Leslie Sansone's walk at home program, that and my fitbit reminding me to get off my azz every hour has truly been a game changer for me.
