I use an elliptical, run around the neighborhood and do sit ups and dips. I haven't been that very good exercising. I am feeling low energy.

Sex is generally good exercise, (barring any cardiovascular instabilities); especially with a partner.

I walk a lot. I love walking. I used to walk about 10 miles every day but can no longer do this.  I still try to walk two or three miles every day but  slowly. I also go to the Y but not very often. The Y is being remodeled and renovated. Construction is a mess. I hope to begin going more regularly after renovations are over. I love the hot tub, pool, sauna and machines. I feel so much better after going to the Y.   :wave:

I sold my car about 5 years ago and I walk around town like a crazy woman.  I also have a recumbent bike and an elliptical trainer but sometimes I just use them to hang my clothes on.

At one time, I'd considered a motorized recumbent bike but, upon brief reflection, that would've defeated the purpose of exercise.

Tai Chi 2x a week.  It's good for circulation, relaxation, balance, among other things.  :)  My husband teaches so at least I have someone to practice with....and get me motivated.  :)

Swimming sounds like a fun exercise, I have to learn very soon- my kids too.  I have a prized Gold's Gym treadmill that I have put QUITE a few miles on.  I'm looking forward to getting an accompanying stationary bike soon.

My favorite forms of exercise are walking and strength training with pilates bands.  I used to worry if I was doing enough, but after being diagnosed with glaucoma, I can't do any of that heavy duty stuff any more.

Low-impact isometrics may be what you're looking for.

I go on the elliptical for 30min then the bike for another 30min sometimes I add 10min of weight lifting for the arms. I use an Ipod to go with the beat of the music for resistance.

      :D I love walking all the time, I get up pretty early and walk in the mornings for about 45 minutes. Then i do a cool down walk . I take my multi poo with me she is about 31/2 years old...She loves the walk, plus it's good to get any walking done earlier in the morning, instead of later because it  gets hotter in the afternoon...So mornings is best for me.... :peace: :peace: :peace:

5 Times a week I do the ripped in 30 work out by Jillian Michaels! IT IS WONDERFUL! Occasionally i run on the treadmill for a mile and a half or however long i feel like that day. On days off, i try to walk up and down my stairs as much as i can, and shh but i like to run around my house still! Also, a great work out i have found, is playing with my dog, she likes to chase people so if i start running in the yard or the house, she chases me, workout for me and her!

I go swimming and go to Kenpo class (it is an offshoot of Karate) a few times a week. I also like gardening and work out there a couple times a week if the weather permits. I have been trying to get more exercise in by watching aerobic workout videos on youtube a couple days a week. I have lost some weight but lately I could definitely do better with my diet but sometimes it is hard to stick with it.

I help my husband with his mowing business a couple days a week.  We usually speedwalk together 3-4 nights a week too.  After having moved for the last month we're letting our bodies rest though - I think we both pulled a few muscles with all the lifting we did.  It's no fun getting old.  Having to pace ourselves.  The Dr actually told us to stretch before doing anything strenuous.  Oi' I feel like I'm turning into my mother now.
