I've always done the housekeeping, laundry, cooking, and kitchen cleanup around here so nothing has changed. I also like to do an easy exercise routine using a "walk at home" video, walking a mile or two each day, or using my rebounder or stationary bike. By May the pool will be ready for swimming but I'm not supposed to get a lot of sun exposure so I suppose I'll have to swim when the shadows are long in the evenings. Covid hasn't impacted my life much at all, really.
I get my exercise by wading through all the dirty clothes on my floor. It's "resistance" on so many levels.
This Wuhan virus assault hasn't changed my exercise routine one bit. Morning Tai Chi and aerobic workout and then at least a 3-mile walk. Just completed a 5-mile walk mostly rural. Snow and high winds are what stops my walks. I credit my year around 3 AM Patio Fae She (my version of Tai Chi) dressed in a sports bra and shorts, especially during the winter months, as my best immune system strengthening and the reason I haven't even had a cold when all my neighbors have had Covid, colds, and flu. I do don leggings on single digit morning, but always barefoot and bra.
I was at age 60 due to taking nerve medication to control Trigeminal Neuralgia and shocks in my head from myelin sheath damage. Luckily I got off of it and nerve shocks are controlled now with vitamin therapy. I was 150 for most of my adult life. It took me 5 years to drop from 201 to 150 and then cancer took me to 126. I am back to 140 now and try to maintain it.
@Faye Fox ..I use to do that stuff.- until one day it all turned to poo. So since my Esin. disease due to mild exersise no less ...i excersise the remote. But I still do all shopping cleaning and etc...least on my good days
I exercise with my 5 pound smart bells. The weather has been so nice lately that I'm walking around the yard looking at the trees and bushes budding.
@Gloria Mitchell What I do now, for a workout is nothing like I did before, but we do what we can and I take it day by day. I belong to an online senior women's fun fitness group and we keep each other motivated, but we are all honest. One day I posted Faye didn't do squats today, in fact, Faye didn't do squat today. We include house cleaning, laundry, even walking the pup around the yard. Yes, my life went to poo twice. The nerve damage and vestibular malfunction are permanent. At least I beat cancer for now anyway. Skin doc in the morning to see if they got it all off my nose. Blood markers every year with oncologist review. Colonoscopy moved up to every 3 years now. Inner ear docs and neurologists can't do anymore so I am paroled for life by them. @Shirley Martin My bestie loves using those weights. They seem to really help her as she can't walk well or far. Spring is good for the mind I think. Do you carry your weights around while walking in the yard?
I climb trees, prune them, haul hundreds of pounds of wood and brush to my trailer, come home, go out with Janet to run errands for several hours, always parking far away from the stores we patronize, for exercise. Come home, cook, do projects around the house. When I can no longer do the above, I'll lose interest in life, and soon depart, most likely.
Yes the Ulra Violet Rays are much more intense and my time spent in it when I retired has resulted in ongoing skin cancer problems. I go today to see my Dermatologist once again and to schedule radiation treatments.
Good luch, buddy. I worked for a woman who was a lifeguard during her teen years in the mid-Atlantic states, and she was always having things removed by her dermatologist. She was only in her 30s when it began, and I don't think she ever had an appointment where they didn't find something else to remove. I've personally been fried so many times in my childhood and early adulthood I'm shocked I don't have issues.
