My Exercising Life

Thank you to everyone who has commented on my posts. I don't always reply because for some reason the notification goes to me, not to the commenter. Please know that I appreciate all of your thoughts and encouragement. You are a wonderful community of writers. And now for today's post:


I’m not athletic, but I have always tried to remain active by exercising in some way. Lately, because of some back issues, my exercise routine has been altered. I’m doing more physical therapy and gentle yoga, which is helping, but I long to ramp up the intensity just a little. Recently I got to thinking about all the different kinds of exercises I have done during the years. Some were done at home to video tapes, or as in the case of running, in my neighborhood; for others, I went to a gym or fitness class. Here’s a list I came up with as I let my mind wander back through the years:

Running
Walking
Aerobics
Dancercize (or jazzercise)
Morning Stretch with Joanie Greggains (I had to look up her name on the internet)
Pilates
Yoga
Biking
Taebo (tapes with Billy Blanks)
Planet Fitness
Curves
Treadmill at home
Zumba
Golf

There certainly is variety, which I think is a good thing. Different experiences just fit better at different points in my life. I think that’s the way it is with a lot of things in life!

Sounds like a list I could have made! One of the best things about being retired is the time to go exercise everyday....no excuses now. Here's hoping your back gets better soon. Have you ever thought of acupuncture? It has saved me.

As we mature, our bodies change and the amount and kind of physical exertion they can endure changes. Looks like you know your body well and have adapted to what it needed at the time.

If I made a list, this could certainly cover all the areas I have tried over the years. I do exercise daily, but on my own. I've been wanting to get into yoga as I think it might be better on this aging body. Hope your back heals quickly.

Sorry to hear that your back is still not better, or back to normal. Loved PT when I did it. Keep it up!

You inspire me - I"m an exercise "rut" kind of person - when I actually get to it!
