Getting In Shape For Spring

   Posted by: jude8753   in Senior Health

Spring is coming and everyone is thinking about getting in shape after the long Winter months of inactivity and all those holiday feasts.

“I feel like my body has gotten totally out of shape, so I got my doctor’s permission to join a fitness club and start exercising. I decided to take an aerobics class for seniors. I bent, twisted, gyrated, jumped up and down, and perspired for an hour. But, by the time I got my leotards on, the class was over.”

A friend sent that little bit of humor my way this morning and I couldn’t resist sharing it with my online friends. I am working on getting in shape and feeling better, but I really don’t think I will ever wear a leotard. Sweat pants are more my style especially at my age and much easier to get into.

I’m starting out slowly because of my back and hips. I’m so tired of feeling crappy. I’ve been taking vitamin D3 and drink Goji juice every morning and that is doing wonders for me.

I have been smoke free for 10 months and alcohol free for 2 months and I feel much better. I am losing my extra weight slowly this time by eating healthier and staying at 1300 calories a day instead of fasting for a couple weeks and starving myself. Since I started vaping I drink lots of water (96 ounces a day now) so I don’t get dehydrated.

Just wanted to update my blog today since I’m feeling better. I hope to get back in a routine again this year and start blogging again and visiting all my old friends. Take care and God bless.

I come and go with exercise, but in general feel like I’m on my feet enough at work I don’t need to do much here at home. That maybe just my excuse.

Congrats on teh 10 months without a cigarette, that’s awesome.

Thanks for your grace and humor. I am 56 and workout as much as possible, it clears my head. That’s why I started my own fitness business for the boomers and zoomers. Lori

Good for you. I’ve been working out myself but after a few weeks, sometimes just days, I go back to being lazy again. Must be because I’m always tired with work, but hope to find time real soon so that won’t have anymore excuse. lol

Hey congrats on your 10 months of no smoking. :)

Congratulations on the 10 months. And the 2 months as well. Each decade had it’s own challenges. Now as I’m a year away from my 60s, I am getting so much more out of life. And I want my body to keep up. I saw an ad the other day that really felt so great to me I cut it out to see each day. “Some think 65 years is a long time. We think it’s a good start.” Good luck!

It’s always inspiring to read about someone making a commitment toward better health, and even better to find out about positive progress. The baby boomer generation is different that our depression-era parents, and far more passionate about making the best of our time. If I can offer come benign encouragement, never forget that age is just a number!
