@momac59 My workout is similar and it’s good to hear relatable ideas. I’m 73, and used to love spending hours in the gym and pool. Now lifting low weights or no weights at all, I want to keep my body in motion and bones strong. You’re fortunate your daughter is a PT. During GI flares I walk a long hallway in my house, turn on Alexa music and set the timer in 15 minute intervals. My goal is to walk 15 to 60 minutes a day. Thank you for the bands and chair yoga recommendations.
My skin reacts to pool chemicals and I am crushed. For now I’m on a BRAT diet and am very cognizant about my protein intake. I drink Ensure Max, eggs, and frozen oily light tasting fish and eat at least 2-3 times the suggested daily protein intake. My fear of breaking a bone or dislocating a joint keeps me active.

@texasblooms … thanks for sharing some of your routine. I like the idea of trying to track the time and creativity in coming up with something you can do . I miss my old routines . I’m so hoping I can get back to walking our dog. We had 3 dogs at once in the past but now only one. Currently it looks like I can’t seem really or exercise much 2 days in a row. I would like to get back to doing something regularly as I used to….. a class at the gym, or a a certain time for a u-tube class., etc. love suggestions to try !
