Lighten Your Limbs With Friends

Ok, here is my update, while I have not been walking or biking (no room in my small place for either type of equipment) I have been trying to increase my activity to five days a week. As I go to group exercise classes twice, I've been using home exercise or YouTube videos (Tai Chi or other gentle forms of movement) and I'm now up to 4 days of concentrated movement in a week. So, I'm feeling encouraged. I'm happy to hear of everyone's progress as we work together to Lighten and/or Strengthen our Limbs with friends!
Time to get "On the Road Again, " Listen with me to Willie Nelson,

@hopeful33250 I feel better after the first two weeks. Maybe it's all in my mind, but I am stronger and feel healthier than I did two weeks ago. I hope everyone realizes the goodness in this Lighten Your Limbs/Mayo Walking Plan. Doing what is comfortable and works for each person is what drives this 12 week program. Just think after this 3rd week, we'll be 1/4 of the way to Goal. After that, I hope I can keep going for another round and another round. I want this exercise to be a part of my daily routine. Thanks for Willie. I have his "On the Road Again" on my cell with other songs I listen to as I walk. I start with Willie and go from there. I haven't heard from several who wanted to try this, but I hope they were able to move at some level.
Exercise is actually fun!
