Exercise and weight management have been my best friends, I just turned 70 in October, and I'm so grateful that I can exercise for an hour to 2 hours a day. I have always struggled with my weight and this has been a big help in managing it. I have strengthened my core which has allowed me to control my balance (I've had issues with it in the past). I walk, work with stretch bands (which are amazing), ride a stationary bike, and work with weight machines. I have fibromyalgia and acute asthma, and it's helped me to control any flareups.
