I’ve always tried to do that.Exercise is good but it’s better if you can do something useful at the same time

An excellent reference book for over 50 exercisers, or for those who need inspiration, is called Biomarkers: The Ten Keys To Prolonging Vitality, by Dr. William Evans. This book has everything you need to know about staying healthy and fit through exercise. Strength training is discussed in this book as one of the essentials, along with stretching, cardio and relaxation. I do cardio on most days of the week doing 30-minute outdoor walks. Doesn’t cost anything. I own free weights and also practice Pilates and Yoga.
How did you get started and maintain an exercise regime? I’m having the hardest time maintaining and building.
How many days in a week to aim for? 3 or 4?
Thanks for any insights. Still trying to get back on the exercise wagon.
I got started in exercise as a child. We lived with my grandmother and she walked the neighborhood making the rounds to food shop, pay bills, say hello to neighbors, go to the post office and visit the dry cleaners. I used to accompany her on these walks.
Today I walk for fitness. I combine walking with food shopping and other outdoor chores, as my grandmother did. I do fitness walking most days of the week for 20 or 30 minutes. My motivation to exercise is to stay in good health.
I think that once you establish a routine, and you see results from your efforts, you’ll stick with it. I hope this helps.
