Now that our lifestyles have been altered by the pandemic, I was wondering what creative ways you all have found to get in your exercise. Normally I participate in water aerobics but now that my gym is closed, I have begun to walk on the treadmill and switch on YouTube videos that provide me with a non-weighted upper body cardio workout from a seated position. This works great as I sit her working from home. Of course my dog is enjoying the more frequent walks she has been getting as well.

Hi Melissa @melissarepanshek, I used to go to the office exercise room before I retired. For a small company they had pretty much everything you could want - treadmill, elliptical, recumbent exercise bike, weight station and a shared TV. I used the bike and treadmill once or twice a week until I bought an inexpensive combination recumbent bike / elliptical machine and could do exercises at home. They were invaluable when I had my knee replacement last April. Now i use it more than ever since I'm retired. I get at least two 30 minute sessions a day on the elliptical (not really cardio speed but more light exercising). I also recently bought a Sand Dune Stepper that I use for several 15 minute sessions a day for walking in place to improve my balance and a side benefit is helping the neuropathy in my feet. Seems kind of spendy for what it is at $279 but it's handy and light weight so you can sit it anywhere for use - https://www.sanddunestepper.com/
