I don't do those types of workouts, but maybe I should start trying them. I need to get outside every day. I usually walk, hike, or bike. Those haven't been curtailed yet, and I'm actually getting more exericise in on days it doesn't rain. Being outside is the only thing saving my sanity. 🙂 Thank goodness it's spring and everything is beginning to bloom and is beautiful.

Far and away the very best routine is to take your walking pet (if not a neighbor's) out for a spin in your local area. A thirty minute walk will do you a world of good and maintain your pet's health!

I've been recording workouts from Directv and do them when it's convenient. Bodies In Motion, Faithful Workouts, Happy Yoga with Sarah Starr just to make a few.

We have a nordic track S22i bike that is super. We use iFit (need internet wireless) doing rides around the world with various iFit trainers (free one year with the bike trainer). We don't like gyms or studio rides, but these recorded rides give a sense of being there via the 20 inch screen, so almost like getting out. Plus, you can adjust the difficulty to make the rides easier or even harder - they are designed for training. Rides are generally 20-40 minutes long. We got this for the winter since we don't ride our tandem then, and it has been awesome as we stay isolated for a while.

Ride my bike daily, I do body weight workouts, and use light weights for muscular endurance and hiking is good too!

bike when the weather allows 5-15 miles. 20 minutes 2X daily on nordic trac treadmill at 3.3 mph on level. Can be adjusted for steeper angles but level is fine at that pace for seniors (55+). This is more than enough to elevate heart rate for 20 minutes-that's about one mile at 3.3mph-and doesn't overstress leg muscles.

for me, i'm doing just as i always do: i'm eating as i always do reading, watching t.v. ect. but the only exercise i get is the best one: walking. since i have no means of transport walking is all i do. i do use public busing when i need to go far & do my main shopping but for a few items & if i have to go to several places i walk.

I am taking walks outdoors when the weather permits and watching the 10 minute exercise videos with various trainers on the AARP App. I like that they are short and I do them throughout the day. I like that I can mix up the routines

Walking 3-4 miles 3 x per week and doing choosing a HASfit video from their YouTube channel to do 3-4 x per week. Love their videos. They have all kinds of videos for every fitness level and part of the body.

I work out while watching YouTube videos. Yoga with Adriene, Fitness Blender, and GynRa channels have many to choose from. I also take hour or more walks most days.

When the SIP began, I committed to walking 5 miles a day, weather permitting. Above and beyond that, I set the goal of walking every street in the hamlet I’ve lived in for 32 years. It’s only less than 4 square miles, but I learned so much about the place I live in and the great people who live here. And I only got lost twice!
