NEEDING TO MAKE TIME TO EXERCISE

 I've been sitting around way too much this winter.  I decided today that besides the fact I can now get out and walk in good weather, I need also  to start an indoor exercise program.

Remembering this morning that I created an exercise routine for my sis, back when we were in our mid 50's, I figured that if I could find them again it would give me motivation to get started.

So I went on a search for some sketches.    Now I can start to get healthy and fit again.

  2. Please do it, Sandy! Your art is a good motivator. Don't wait til you're my age when your doctor says what mine did this week: "I'm ordering you a 12 week physical therapy program for 'frail, elderly woman with fear of falling.'" Was that me, I wondered, frail and elderly? I do admit to a fear of falling after a bad one a couple of years ago. I have to make time for this!

    1. Yes i really believe that idea of use it or lose it. I've been much to sedentary lately. Usually from Spring to Fall I'm out and about and walking a lot but this last winter hardly even a sunny day and lots of windy days and cold temps. I'm getting out soon every day...Hope u enjoy that 12 week physical therapy if you do it.

  6. Soy perezosa para ir al jimnasio , por lo que prefiero caminar o hacer un poco de ejercicio, con la bicicleta estática que tengo en mi casa.

  13. Hi Sandy, how are things going on this side?
    I hope well,
    Now it's autumn here in Brazil, but when it arrives
    In winter I sit still more, I also realize that I need to exercise more. I believe that in colder places we become
    more still; despite having a lot of work.
    There's no point, we have to exercise.
    Good start to the month of April.
    janice.

  16. hiya Sandy... thanks for stopping by my blog.... I hardly go to them these days it seems... and, I, too, have just decided I've been sitting around too much. My summer clothes are all ....erm..... too tight!! Of course, baking as a hobby is a terrible thing... hahaha.....and, this past winter, I even made my own sourdough starter ..so you know what that means.... acckkk#@! more breads!!
    I use my treadmill all winter and just had a new delivered...the old one got to be almost 30 yrs. old and was used daily.... we're still having snow, sleet, rain, wild winds..etc... roll on summer weather!!
    Check out my Flickr site sometime.... I hang out there often now...
