Just came in from doing steps and walking the sidewalk. Will do again couple more times today., Tomorrow, adding distance.

Dh and I started walking again... two miles by ourselves and up to a mile with the dog.

Thanks for the info regarding Angiefitness, sleeperblues. I do a yoga/weights/cardio routine every morning, but I've been looking for something a bit more strenuous. Sounds like that might fit the bill. I have a bad knee (broke it three years ago) and can't do anything that requires jumping, but it sounds like she has all levels of difficulty so I will check it out.

This is the routine I start my day with. It's tailored to people over 50 and I love the stretching part of it. Takes about 20 minutes and well worth the time.

I'm doing 12 ounce curls nightly! :-p

It's been cool and rainy here since I started WFH on Monday but the sun just popped out a few minutes ago. I have a lot of work to do in the garden so that will give me some exercise over the weekend. Turning the compost piles is always a good workout.

In a few weeks it will be time to start hunting for morel mushrooms so I need to build up some endurance before then. It's a 100 yds. from my house to the garden so I guess that's something :-)

walking 3-4 miles daily with the dog and lots of cleaning!! and cooking!!

by nighttime i am tired, so problems sleeping!

I've resumed use of our exercycle that has been used to hang clothes on for the past few years, plus some light weights and planking. After an hour per day I can read and listen to the news without getting too depressed.

I have an elliptical machine in L.A., some free weights, and two mountain bikes. In Cathedral City I have a pool (where I do water aerobics), some free weights (including ankle weights), and two street bikes - since it is flat here. I just bought the second street bike last month, and it is a Cannondale M300 - the same brand as my mountain bike, but I bought the last one used. The mountain bike is a Cannondale Jekyll with front and rear suspension, and so it is very comfortable to ride. The M300 does not have suspension, but it has a lot of gears (it might be an old version of mountain bike) and is also very comfortable. Both were made in the USA, but unfortunately new Cannondales are not.

I've had to stop my barre and yoga classes as the gym is closed, so I've been doing the barre3 class on youtube which is a decent substitute...no barre or ball required.

DH has been using our treadmill every day and our hand weights to substitute for his daily gym activity.

We've also gone for walks together to get some fresh air and sunshine which always helps.

I've also upped my meditation as it's most helpful for all the stress and anxiety of living through "interesting times" as we are now. I just finished one by the waterfall near our property and the sounds and the negative ions the falling water produces are all very stress relieving.

We have a home gym, and both of us have been working out since the first week of January. I'm finally getting muscle tone in my arms and stomach!!!!! Lines! I'm deadlifting 60 pounds now, do squats with a bar bell on my shoulders, walk on the treadmill (after working an 8 hour shift where I put on average, 10,000 steps already), and way more. It's important if you're self quarantining, to keep active. Jumping jacks, jogging on the spot, walk up and down the stairs, walk around your yard. You're allowed to be in your yard during this time. Fresh air is important too.

I'm still doing my 10,000 steps a day which has been challenging lately since streets and sidewalks are very icy. I prefer walking outdoors and the spiked devices that I strap onto my boots for safety don't stay on for the duration. So I've tied them onto my boots with black shoelaces and now my boots are ... shall I say ... a bit Unusual looking! But I will be thrilled tomorrow if I can comfortably walk tomorrow, ice or no ice.

We walk 3 miles a day and lots of other people are out walking as well. Probably because all the gyms, yoga studios, etc. are closed.

Sleeperblues, I also have asthma and I really don't want to catch Covid 19. I caught a weird virus over a year ago and it went straight to my lungs and caused breathing problems. It wasn't flu, I tested negative for that. But the doc said definitely some kind of virus, so antibios wouldn't work. He gave me a breathing treatment and a Medrol Pak, which improved everything within a few hours. From what I've read it doesn't sound like that approach works for Covid though.

DH and I are talking about taking daily walks. I used to walk with the dogs, a mile or so a day, but they are sadly gone now. It's so remote here, we won't pass another human being so it is not only safe but I think healthy.

Our gym has been closed for 10 days and I am really missing my water exercise classes. Fortunately I have 5 other friends in my little community who like to walk and we get together every day when the weather is nice and walk 5 miles.

As soon as I get up I go on a 2 + mile walk. I’ve also dug the Wii Fit out that has gathered dust. I really miss the gym! Getting more exercise spring cleaning with all the extra free time. Tomorrow is baseboards.

I'm trying to get motivated to exercise. Got the equipment but not the desire yet.

I notice Silver Sneakers is doing a Facebook Live exercise class starting today, at 11:30 edt. Might be worth a look. I’ve been walking, as I always do, but they closed my usual trail which is on a college campus. Yesterday I walked all around the center of my town but I was stunned to see people congregated ery close to each other at the playground, including a basketball game.

"Alexa, play Santana . . . play Grateful Dead . . . play You Shook Me All Night Long . . . " I hate to exercise, but I love to dance. (Even all by myself in the kitchen.)

dedtired, I was notified of the Silver Sneakers live class too, by my community center. They also pointed out that one doesn't need to be a Silver Sneakers member to participate in the Facebook Live classes. If you are a SS member or are eligible, you can register on their website too for multiple on-demand workouts.

I thought DawninCal might want to check it out. I did it, and just made my moves bigger, more vigorous, and added more arm moves to get my heart rate up more.

Generally I prefer to walk or run outdoors, but I do have an elliptical and hand weights. I realized that I have slacked off too much on my weight training, so I have gotten out my "The Firm" DVDs (hand weights and step box) and started doing one twice a week. With some hereditary tendencies toward back issues, and an old neck injury from work, I really need to keep my core very strong.

I am committed to get back to my exercise and walking routine after being a total slug yesterday. (but here I am- please don't judge me.). I did the silver sneaker live class this morning too, but used weights for some of it. I want to do more streaming classes. After lunch, I will walk or ride my bike or both. Plus check out the meditation link Annie sent. Never thought of WII Fit or Dance . I think I have those. Thanks for reminding me.

I have a great playlist of music, some headphones, an exercise bike, and a rowing machine.

30 mins on them, followed by 30 mins stomach and stretch.

I do that 3 or 4 times a week depending on how much free time I have.

It lifts my spirits almost as soon as I start, and I’m sure it stays with me for the rest of the day.

I know I’d do nothing if it wasn’t for the music.
