Walking, gardening and working 3 days a week with people with a disability. Keeps me pretty fit, but I am going to start doing some weights soon and some core exercises....hate having poor muscle tone. I have a Fitbit (I am addicted to it) and my best day is always Tuesday (Riding for the Disabled) running around a paddock with a horse and rider really is a good work out. I have 2 forms of arthritis....so exercise is really important to me.

I usually walk 3-4 times every week. The mailbox is 2 miles away. Wisconsin offers a program called Strong Women but men go too. It's exercising with weights for an hour. Some 85 year old ladies use a pair of 10 pound weights for their hands and legs. It helps with body movement and balance and bone density. Good program. Good luck with movement. It keeps the body moving.

I love to see so many active board members... I still enjoy running so I try to run 10 miles a week and on in between days I take an aerobics class. It's tougher in the winter but we have a wonderful YMCA with an indoor track.

I stopped being able to use my treadmill due to sciatica. I moved about six months ago and the extent of my walking has just been to get my poor dog outside. I also started using a recumbent bike where I now live and have worked up to 25 minutes a day. Yesterday, I finally threw in the towel and got one of those cortisone shots in my spine. I'm ever hopeful that this is going to get me back in action. They told me it might take 3-4 days to make a change but my leg already feels better this morning. The other thing I do is a DVD workout by Anne Pringle Burnell. It's called Stronger Seniors and is primarily chair exercises. As long as I don't have to stand I'm good to go and I really like her. It is broken into sections so you don't have to do everything. I usually do the warm up and the weights. I depend on the recumbent bike now for the aerobics.
