I HATE EXERCISE!!!! But that said, I have been getting up and walking 3 - 5 miles a day for something like 35 years. I still hate it, but my body says "get up and get at it" Now at 72, I move with ease and my Doctor can't believe I am in such shape. When I see someone new they kind of blink when they read 72 on the paperwork, give me a glance and keep going with the interview. Eventually they will ask if I have actually walked daily (except Sundays) for all those years. Then tell me to keep it up.
Had an incident last year where I spent two days in the hospital. Was up at my usual 5AM and walking the hallways, nurses could not believe I actually DO this. DR. came through and there I was rounding the corner, said I was the first he ever saw who actually did walk regularly.
Still hate it--ugh, its time to get shoes on and get out. At least its not so hot today, only 61 degrees instead of the upper 70's and NOT as HUMID!
