I climb up the stairwell of my 7 floor complex. I then enter the next floor and go back down to the bottom floor. I try to repeat as many times as my health will allow. I also move my arms in small circles as I walk, or stand still. This really gets the heart pumping and circulates my blood. I feel the intensity of doing the arm rotations, but after the workout with my arms especially, I can breath better. By the way, I wear my face mask and try not to over exert. I also wear plastic gloves or regular clothe gloves to hold on to the stairwell rails.

Wow, lydial, those are a LOT of stairs!  We live in a townhouse and I'm up and down 2 flights all day long.   I don't know what I'd do without them!

Yes. I do HITS training, walk aerobics and I ride a stationary bike. I try to work out at least 4-5 days per week.

I've been walking 3-4 miles several times a week with a friend around 7am (we're both morning people).  I also bought a 6-lb medicine ball and resistance bands for strength training.  I miss my gym but these exercises will help me a bit while I wait.

Since I've been working from home I do hourly exercises from my desk between tasks - squats, walking in place, light weights for upper body.  I take short walk at lunch for fresh air and additional steps.

At home, I do body strengthening exercises, stretches, and get up once an hour to run in place. Sometimes, I will exercise to a workout video on YouTube.  I do like going outdoors to walk, run, and cycle as well.

I LEARNED HOW TO WALK!

 

I started walking about 3 months ago and currently average a little over 5 miles a day. I used to get bored walking and now I can't wait to get out in the morning. 

 

MY SECRET

I listen to Podcasts and purchased Audible form Amazon.  There is a podcast for every interest and my two favorites are aging and sports. Sports are easy, I pop between ESPN & FOX Sports and that's enough.

 

It took some time to find good aging/health podcasts but it's working. My favorite guy is Dr. Gundry. I purchased his book, but you get all the information in his weekly podcast. Lost 15 lbs.

 

Walkings not new or exciting, but I am enjoying it with the help of books and podcasts

I have diabetes and have exercised for years to help with my blood sugar. I have one bedroom dedicated to my exercise room. I have weights, a stationary bicycle and my yoga mat. I do weights, two days a week, yoga two days a week and I walk two days a week. I recently have been Rucking, which is putting a 35# pack on while walking. The claim is that you will get 3 times more of a work out than just walking. Mixing it up keeps me active and interested in exercising.
