Way to go BKB, that is a major hurdle just to "do it".. I plan to start walking tomorrow, I had to get a cortisone shot in my knee a week ago and the dr. suggested I wait a week before trying to walk. So tomorrow a.m. I am going to be walking with my Leslie Sansone dvd..and will report in..My company is gone, so I will start doing more with this team and we are going to do it together..

Good Morning you gorgeous grannies,
I finally made my self get on the treadmill yesterday. It was a rainy cold day outside. I did my 60 Min's and got 3 miles in. Wooohoo, I DID IT!
Okay, I'm proud of myself. LOL.
I want to get at least 60 Min's 5-6 days a week on that treadmill.
Good Luck with your exercise!

Hi there all, I had just given up coming back to this team because it seemed I was talking to myself, but now that you all are here, I will be back and we can work together.. We can encourage each other, and help each other and we can make it happen.. I think it's a great idea to keep track of our activities.. I will be back on a reg. basis after Thursday when our company leaves...It's great to have you all here..

Hi, welcome back! Now that the weather is gorgeous, lets get out and enjoy the fresh air and commit to at least 60 minutes of some sort of exercise each day!! I am really on track these days and its because I keep up the exercise. It is way to easy to not do anything, but I can tell in my weight when I do that. Make sure we track such things as cleaning, raking, and mowing! Lets all keep each other going, the hardest time of the year for me is Winter!!!! Let's GO!

Exercises for People over 50

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side.

With a 5-lb potato sack in each hand, extend your arms straight our from your sides and hold them there as long as you can.

Try to reach a full minute, and then relax. Each day you'll find that you can hold this position For just a bit longer.

After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-LB potato sacks. Then try 50-lbs potato sacks and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-ib potato sack in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute. (I'm at this level.)

After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each of the sacks

( I am thankful God has given me a sense of humor because it helps me get through the day)
Hugs and Prayers,
Sherrilou
