Anyone have little tips on any small exercise we should do to keep joints and balance health .
For any age. Like sometimes I do pushups off my kitchen counter.
These little things to keep are balance and healthy, the little things we do make a difference, standing on your toes , up and down while waiting for the microwave.
Anything like that
I will say I'm a bit frustrated with nice people. 😆 I get to a corner and have to cross, my mind thinks of good I can stand here for a minute, catch my breath. NOPE no rest for me, they see me coming and stop for me. 😵💫
I've often wondered if she would have lived a little longer had she not fallen that day.
Same with boccie or bowling, big deal you throw a ball., you do it enough you get it.
It can help reduce chances of illness , and physical injury for ourselves . For example saying “ No “ and stop trying to take an elder out when you know it’s too difficult to pull them out of the car anymore .
This is needed so you say “ No” to doing things that would effect your own physical and mental health .
A good exercise, for core strength and everything, and balance. sit on a chair and get up with one leg and no hands, age or health related issues, try getting up without using your hands.
Do it like ten times a day.
Funny thing is you dont even realize how many times a day we get up and down and use are hands , when we don't need too.
Yeah, that's not gonna happen LOL
When I was ten, I thought he looked so old. 50 years later, this man looks just the same except more gray.
I see him out walking almost every day, he walks farther than I do , picks up debre off are side walks, while he walks.
He keeps me motivated, and to be honest he doesn't even know who I am. Here on this forum, we sometimes talk about aging and still feeling useful we may be helping people and not even know it. Leading by example.
So let's put are walking shoes on today, and move!
I suspect he is LGBTQ and is use to keeping to himself.
So I said sure, she wanted to show me a water fall in are area. Well, I feel like I'm in pretty good shape. WOW, she tired me out! climbing up and down rocks, to a beautiful waterfall. I can't believe what good shape she is.
She is going to outlive everyone!
Instagram, he is amazing, little balance exercises , everyday.
I'm still plugging away walking with Leslie.
Or do I do both kinda half way?
Because doing both is just "a lot"
Superwoman friend.
