Hey 50+s - Do you exercise?

[JoanOH]

I've started an exercise challenge for those of us who aren't exercising, though we KNOW we're supposed to! It's perfect for anyone who has been putting off exercising for one reason or another (myself included!). We're going to start very slowly and work up our stamina and physical abilities. Take a look, and hopefully join me!

I was 47 when I started and I'll be 51 next week and still going strong! 1,429 running miles completed this year alone!

Now, if *I* can do it, YOU CAN DO IT TOO!

I was 49 when I started. I'm 51 now. I built up to 4 miles walking a day, weights, and exercise ball. I've had knee surgery this year and since then, I've been building back up my exercise routine. I am presently doing about 3 miles a week walking and weights about 4 nights a week. My goal is to get up to 2 miles a day walking over the next month and then build it up from there to get back where I was before my surgery.

I was 51 when I started too. I didn't believe in the power of exercise... but I had to re-think. It really works!
I walk my dogs for forty minutes a day (minimum, fast walk) and do 20 to 40 mins total body workout.

TRY IT! You too will see the difference!

I started cycling again aged 55 and regularly cycle 20 miles in hilly terrain.

The bike is here:

A hand made classical beauty.

It was made in a small workshop about 5 miles from Rich's home.

I wondered what your bike looked like, I remember when you were waiting for it.

I'm walking a hilly 5 km circuit each day (see my web site) and this week for the first time I did it in under an hour! Not bad for an old lady of 53 who is still classed as obese and has had both Achilles tendons operated on.
