Harriet … my mother was a runner and picked that up at age 49. Ran till she was abt 78 and the took up walking. By the time she was abt 85 she no longer walked and spent time sitting much of the day, and by 87 that stopped as well due to back issues. She didn’t do much movement after that and sat much of the rest of her life. She lived to be 94 2 months shy of 95
My trainer says movement such as walking is good for you, but weight training is better. He says it helps to keep your bones and muscles healthier as we age. It doesn’t have to include massive weights. I have dropped down on the size of my weights but I continue to do programs that include them.
My favorite you tube guy is Curtis Adams.’ He does standing and chair routines. Some are 18 minutes long and others are longer. I enjoy him because he is very motivating and fun to do. He usually uses 1-3 lb weights but I can go heavier if I want and usually do.
Yesterday I got my steps in, drank my water and stayed on my eating plan.
