Sometimes exercise gets so complicated.

Not mine Spitty, I walk jog or cycle 5 days per week come rain, snow or heatwave.
Even if someone close to me died, I would still turn out for my early morning exercise…Unless it was me that died…
Simples!
Thank goodness for simplicity, just legs and a spreadsheet!

Yes Spitty, I forgot to mention the obligatory spread sheet…Never go anywhere without my stopwatch.
Well, I walk a lot. I have lost over 10 pounds doing that. I find walking is better than most exercises. Half an hour everyday.

I’ve started doing Tai Chi. You can do it for just a few minutes. I was doing classes when I was in my early twenties but didn’t enjoy it back then. It was a massive class somewhere in Covent Garden and a very uninspiring teacher. it was all very tedious at such a young age. But now it’s like the best thing ever. Apparently you’re meant to be grounded so doing it outdoors is great. But I haven’t been brave enough to do it in the garden yet.

Are you overlooked?
Still swimming but added in pool exercises afterwards. Then my reward in the jacuzzi.
I’m still getting my ‘Five a Day’ in. Mostly walking, but running as often as I can.
Been going through a ‘Purple Patch’ just lately and setting years best times on various routes so I must be doing something right…
I sometimes stroll around the lawns barefoot Annie, apparently it earths you and removes unwanted electricity…
there are vertical blinds pretending not to overlook me. It’s more my own paranoia.

If I did that in the garden OGF it might earth me to gifts from the doggie! Presumably you can get the same effect walking on your kitchen tiles on a concrete floor?

Lifting a pint a day keeps the Dr away. Amazing arm exercise
Eugh! Bad enough when I return home from a walk and it’s stuck to the sole of my shoe. I’m always careful when I’m out, but at this time of years doggie doos get obscured by the fallen leaves…
Fortunately dog walkers are very good around here and it’s quite rare.
I’m not sure about the floor tiles Annie, ceramics and concrete make very good insulators and neither hold moisture like a lawn does. All houses have an earthing rod for their electrical systems. They used to use the lead water pipe coming out of the ground but now all the water pipes are plastic so they use an earthing rod. In times of drought some people have to throw a bucket of water over the rod to keep it grounded or else the earth on the ring main becomes ineffective.
When I weighed 290, I was motivated to get fit by 2 arthritic knees and my dad being in a wheelchair at age 70. I didn’t want to end up like that so I decided to get fit. Now, at 225, what motivates me is the slim hope that every hour I spend in the gym and eating clean improves my dating potential. It may or may not be true, but the hope that it’s true is what’s keeping me consistent nowadays.
I walk at least a mile everyday in under 18 minutes. Do all of my own vacumning, dusting , mopping floors, etc so plenty of stooping, bending, stretching daily. My body is my own, no shoulder pain, replaced hips or knees, and very active. I have taken care of myself eating healthy, keeping mobile, and it has served me well.
I’m very lucky, also only have a cold every five years or so, hardly ever sick at all. Great immune system, for someone in their mid seventies. Hope it continues.

Big lad considering the amount of walking you do Spitty.
