I stretch but not enough, I am sure.
I did try to go to DH's fitness club. Took my walker so that I could do a stretch class. It was supposed to be for all types, me being a beginner. MOST embarrassing! Good thing I can laugh. I could not do a darn thing. She ended the class early because of me. 
I eat right, I love fruit and vegetables. But the exercise routine leaves much to be desired. |
If you can get to a library, go and see if they have any excersize dvds you can borrow.
If that's not an option, try Amazon. At least you can read the reviews and see what others thought of them before you buy,
I got a yoga dvd and the reviews were spot on. Very easy even for a novice, out of shape, lots of balance and pain issues. Really helped.
Or if you have cable, there are quite a few shows you could try. Most of them, I find way too tough to follow. but I will try to do the easiest things they show. Hey, it's not much but it's something. Namaste is one of my faves.
I do go through those times though, when I just don't wanna, just don't have the energy, and really don't care to get up and move - in any way.
Then I just sit on my keister and eat chocolate. The heck with it.
