I've been attempting to do yoga for over a year now. I say "attempting" because I don't do it well and I need to modify most of the poses. I also walk on my treadmill 4-5 times a week for at least 1 mile. I began the treadmill 2 1/2 years ago when my Ty infusions helped so much I was able to get out of a wheelchair and walk again. At first I could only walk a very short distance but I was able to eventually increase my speed and distance. I also play on the Wii because it's fun, keeps me moving and I do the Wii Sports as well as the Wii fitness. So, when I wake up in the morning I decide what I'm going to do after the treadmill. Exercising gives me an emotional boost even when it leaves me exhausted.

We've been discussing the pros and cons of purchasing a home gym. I miss lifting weights but my arms are still quite weak I think a home gym would help considerably because I could do a little of this or that every day until I built up my strength. The only problem is that when we retired we moved into a very tiny house. I keep my treadmill in the guestroom ....but, it folds up when we have house guests. So, it doesn't take up that much room. And it's nice that the guest room is being used!!!!!!! My husband's concern about the home gym is where are we going to put it. I suggested the patio.....which is covered. But, our temps are so high...100+ in the summer months.....that my hubby doesn't think I'll be able to use it during 4 months of the year. I think if I set the alarm to wake me up early when it's still cooler outside it will work out. That is as long as the coyetes don't get me...LOL They prowl our neighborhood during the evenings, nighttime and early morning hours
