Movement can be seen as reflecting a willingness to continue meeting life as we are, rather than mourning who we once were. Even small amounts may help us restore a sense of steadiness and participation in our lives. How well is your exercise plan working for you?
Took me a while to get an exercise plan that works for me. Now that I have a weekly routine of all things good for me on a printed sheet of paper, life is much better. I change it every week and I listen to my body
Walking has been a favorite activity, and I was doing some interval walking: short bursts of high intensity walking alternating with recovery periods. I need to get back to it. Extreme heat in our area, and some health problems, are making it more difficult. I have some WalkFit videos for indoor walking—I should use those.
Thanks, Janice, for the encouragement to move. And for the other tips and associated factors to consider.

Hi Janice. Exercise (for me) is as important as brushing my teeth, sleep, eating healthy, and 'staying regular' !
Many get annoyed when I say I have to get a short workout in and it cuts into 'their' plans. Or they try and shame me into taking off a day.
If I succumb to one day, it leads to two and morphs into three. And then I'm absolutely stiff and miserable!
My mantra is to stay moving for the rest of my life.
Good article! (As always.)
Yes, so easy to get out of the good habit, and harder to get back into it. Best to just keep up the daily!!
