If you are mobile, what is your favourite form of exercise or plain moving around, and why?
Mine is walking because I have to get my dog out so I walk up the county road. I don’t have a bike, there’s no pools around & I can’t run. I get to look at the countryside so I feel blessed:-)
I push my trolley around the supermarket, walk up to the compost bin most days - walk down to the bird feeder and fill it - but my favourite exercise is light gardening -
that sounds great Autumn Color - a walk in the country side. Because of my location and physical restraints I’m pretty much limited to walking as my exercise, but I’m very satisfied with that, in earlier times when I was in my forties I was a “work out junkie” and positively haunted my local gym lol. Now I go outside and do ‘laps’ around my building. In the fall I will expand my horizons to the surrounding neighborhoods.
Walking is my favourite exercise too. It was on a ramble last week that I slipped & broke my ankle. I’m now out of action for a few weeks but I will be back.
My county (Derbyshire) has some of the lovliest scenery - I love to walk in the Peak district - rivers, fields and mountains - it has it all. (If you can call the Pennines mountains) Maybe just very steep hills. lol
Anyway it’s beautiful and I get such an uplifted feeling just being there.
My second favourite exercise is aqua fit at my local leisure centre - an hour of water based exercise in a friendly class of women. It’s a good laugh too.
Swimming & going to the gym are other things I do but all curtailed at the moment!!
I am going to be SO unfit when I get the plaster off my leg!
I don’t imagine you’ll be that unfit with all of that exercise behind you:-)Hope it’ll be soon but will you have to take it easy at first? Surely you couldn’t go nutty as soon as the cast is off?
I know what you mean. Sometimes I wonder if I would still walk up the cty. rd. when our dog is gone because I don’t really want another dog. I’ve had dogs all my life but I’m so busy with these animals that its another responsibility.
