So I finally did use the treadmill again after many years of avoidance. Five minutes, and I used my tablet to read a Kindle book to help me not agonise over when the five minutes would time out. I found that it wasn't terrible!! My sister has been using her treadmill and suggested only adding an additional five minutes after a full week of walking.
It wasn't terrible 😃
Hi everyone! I’m happy to be here and excited to connect with others who are focusing on health and wellness after 50.
I’m looking forward to learning, sharing, and supporting each other along the way.
To get to know one another a little better, here’s a question to start us off:
👉 What’s one small habit you’ve added (or want to add) to your routine that’s made a positive difference in your health?
No pressure — share only if you feel comfortable. Looking forward to the conversation!
I have not been able to get any gas behind working out alone. But I have a new development, actually two. My mom has decided to start walking with me inside the local Walmart and my husband set up our treadmill in the garage. The treadmill was recently retrieved from another state and we had to find a place for it and put it back together.
It's hard to motivate yourself to workout alone (even to go to the gym), that's why I have decided to stay at the rehab facility where I did my cardiac rehab after me heart attack. I like the fact that the physical therapists hold me accountable to show up trice a week which only leaves one day that I'm alone in my exercise.
