Daily regimen to strengthen mind and body

[Tukka]

Hi All,

This is my 1st post looking for an online community that I can learn from and hopefully contribute to in the area of health and fitness as we grow older. I am 2 months away from my 63rd birthday, always have been active playing teams sports since I was a kid but I don't like what this aging thing is doing to my body. I started changing things up to hopefully help keep the body and mind strong. Love to hear what is working for you and if I can add to the conversation.

63 is young to feel old
I am 76 and currently imprisoned in a rehab and nursing facility after being three weeks incarcerated in a hospital. I’m not allowed to walk but screw that as the alternative is to wallow in a poop laden diaper begging to be changed like an infant. So by sheer willpower I am on the foot I’ve been ordered to be off of. Am in great hurry to be home where I am the boss of me. Independence is everything and worth fighting for.

Welcome new friend.

I exercise daily (walking and aerobics) – keep as active as I can, do daily crossword puzzles, play hidden object games, eat healthy, and do a lot of research on the internet. So far it’s kept me going.

Another Welcome, from the west side of Toronto.

I am just a couple years shy of you and I try to walk daily, 10k steps or more.
I also have some weights, treadmill and a small home gym that I try to use at least 1 day a week. Resistance training as well.
