Lighten Up....don't wreck that joint!

Not seriously enough...

Not really.It really depends on my mood. But I will try to make sure that I do some exercise a few times a week.But I don't push myself by hard to maintain and stay healthy for all this while.

nott o muc but I should domore walking I havent for awhile and I can tell I was up to a mile a day and felt pretty good but with me driving 2 people to work and picking them up at differnt times during early moring and night I tend not to get out and walk.

Zandi- I take it very seriously, as I do my eating habits, and my rest time. One of the things most women neglect is their heavenly flow and they continue to push themselves during the time they should be resting. So for myself, during my heavenly flow I cut back on all heavy lifting. I still do my normal day to day things but if my husband can do them he does so I can rest. It makes for a shorter time, about 4 days rather than 7-8 days. The rest of the month is spent doing lifting three days a week, and cardio 3-4 days per week. I am currently focusing my lifting on my upper body as that is where I need the most muscle increase. I use my yoga and martial arts to work on my lower body as that only needs toning at this point in time. I also try to get in my push-up routine, and ab workouts at least 3 days a week, if not 5. For cardio I have a Wii so I am either doing the Wii Fit, or I do a dance game my husband bought me for Christmas last year. There is no need to invest in fancy equipment though or even in a gym membership. People can workout simply using the items they have at home. Taking walks is a wonderful way to get exercise on a daily basis. And you are right, your body does feel better. When you exercise you end up with more energy or even if you are tired it is a good tired. I also have found that my mind is more stimulated when I am exercising on a regular basis. Namaste-Anora

After all our body is a machine, perfectly enginnered by the almighty, mighted be gurantted to last for 100 years with right food, right habits, it will have its normal wear and tear , that can't be reversed the eyes are effected first at about 40, next comes the joints, for white collar job people , who sit always, it becomes real problem, exercise is a must. because of burning soles due to diabetes, i can't walk much, use a virtual walker that shakes my legs. Thanks for sharing Cheers. God bless you, have a nice day ahead. Professor ‘Bhuwan’. .

just take it with fun, don't be too serious , there are many work in everyday that can move your whole body and at the same time don't minding you are exercising. But don't abuse the strength of your body when your time is your strongest age. Because after that age, your body will become weak and "overused" just try to live as a normal person with normal work, at the same time the food intake should also take care of,

Well personally due to a lot of other Health issues me having a chance to do much of a workout, really would depend on my ability to do that. With having a lot of Chronic pain due to arthritis or such, it makes it hard from day to day to sometimes get things done. I wish I was like a lot of normal people in their mid to late 40s who can still walk a couple miles, or go work out, but my Health just seems to not permit it.

I need to take it more seriously. I am walking more now than I was a few months ago. I would love to have a YMCA membership, mostly because I could swim and use the hot tub and sauna. I will be getting a bicycle soon. In order to save gasoline I want to be using it a lot more. Walking and bicycling will probably be my first line of defense as the weather improves.

No, i don't. I use to walk quite abit till i got unable to do that. I wish i stuill could bet u have to lear to accept u can't do alot of things as u get older & disabled to.

Yes indeed, we should exercise and we start before we are too old or too sick to do it. Exercising has magic. It does really make you a happy creature apart from making you healthy. And while it is true that at the start it is so hard to push oneself into a daily workout once you have started you will never regret and you will feel like your day is not complete without it. So go!!!!

Hey I do take my exercise seriously I don't do any/ just kidding/ I just walk every day [ some times]I do not like exercising I prefer to put a salsa CD on and dance to it! good for your body and good for your soul!

Hi Zandi. I take exercise more seriously now than when I was younger. I used to exercise a lot when I was in my twenties and early thirties without being really conscious of the fact that what I was doing was exercise. I used to jet ski, snowboard and ride motorbikes a lot as well as work around my house a lot. These were physically demanding things that were exercise, but not like traditional exercise. Now that I am close to 40 and not doing those sports, I have taken up other forms of exercise to keep me healthy. I like to mountain bike, kayak and go hiking as well as archery. I also do a home workout program. As we get on in years, I believe that regular walking, swimming, yoga and stretching should be included along with a healthy diet into peoples daily or at least weekly routines. If people can go for at least a short brisk walk every morning along with some stretching or Yoga and swim at least once a week, then they will do well.

it's worth to think about it

I think I need to start taking care of my body...I need to watch my diet for I eat like a King. Some people does not have an appetite when they are sick but I'm different. No sickness can prevent me from eating like a monster. Wish me luck!!!
