The first two exercises are easy to work into my day. I’m still pondering the third one.
I know a lot of exercises I can do, and I have weights, resistance bands, etc., but I mostly don’t do sets of them. Instead I try to work them into my everyday life. For years I also did from 30-60 minutes a day on my NordicTrack treadmill, while I streamed interesting videos on the TV set in my study (using Roku).
Now I’ve switched to 30-60 minutes a day on my Schwinn AirDyne. (It’s less weight bearing and easier on the joints.)
I have my mini iPad rigged up so I can watch videos, play Sudoku, or read on my Kindle app while I peddle, so it’s fun.
I like the way my body feels when I exercise, and it makes me happy.
What about you?

I will add these three to my balance exercises. I do balance exercises every day, I do alternate days, these will go on one day, PT said don’t do the exact same ones every day, a set for one day a set for another day….I have been doing them since 2015
That’s good advice. 🙂
I hate to admit that there is very little exercise in my day. I’ve tried to make it a regular part of my day but I just can’t seem to stick with it.
Baby steps count. 🙂
…I’m moving rather slowly this morning.
That’s fine. Slow can be good. 🙂
I always feel better when I exercise but it’s also the first thing I give up when feeling overwhelmed.
You have way too much to deal with, so please be gentle with yourself. I couldn’t do what you do.
The Schwinn looks awesome! The exercises are ones I haven’t seen before. Pretty sure I could not do the last one.
The nice thing is we can pick and choose. 🙂
I have that same Schwinn AirDyne and I have ridden that for decades Monday through Friday. I give myself the weekend off. You have that reading material set high – you must be tall. My husband made one for me! lol
I’m only about 5′ 3″, but I have the seat high.
I love the Schwinn!
I didn’t use mine for years, and it takes up a lot of space, but I didn’t have the heart to give it away. I’m glad I didn’t!
I broke a toe a while back so I’m not getting nearly enough exercise.
I did that once — it really messed things up. 🙁
Unfortunately, exercise and I aren’t on friendly terms. Now, however, the state of my aging hip makes reconciliation a necessity. These are all great clips!
🙂
Exercise is so important
Yes. 🙂
Dave and I did a set of the sitting ones today with hopes of doing them regularly. I set a reminder on my phone to see if that helps me actually stick with it.
I used to have a NuStep machine that helped. It’s like a sitting down stair stepper. There’s one in the fitness center here but I stopped going down during the pandemic and never started up again. I’d have to get another release from my doctor to go again after all this time. I’m not good at those followup things.
I like things I can do in the apartment. It’s much easier. 🙂
