NOTE from the Community Director
Hi all. This is a friendly reminder to stay on topic. Please see Guideline #4 of the Community Guidelines https://connect.mayoclinic.org/page/about-connect/tab/community-guidelines/
Tangents will happen. We're human after all and conversations often diverge. In this case, it's animals and pets that have inadvertently grabbed the attention of a few members. Indeed it is often pets that keep us active, so one could argue that it is still on topic. However, for people seeking advice on appropriate exercise for neuropathy, the number of non-relevant email notifications may be a nuisance.
For pet and animal lovers, I invite you to join this discussion:

Now, back to the topic at hand. What exercise adaptations are you making during the stay home rule?

Congratulations John! A much needed reminder. I am receiving over 30 emails, but most chatter is of a social nature, which is good, but more suited forr Facebook or Instagram. Personally I am pleased to report, that I rode my exercise yesterday for over 30 minutes and have set myself target to reach 90 minutes, non stop by January next , when I turn 90 years. 5 of my sons will ride with me. Neuroplasticity is the answer, as my Peripheral-neuropathy problems ARE reducing , but slowly, every day. My balance, walking aand sleeping. Best wishes, again, from Australia.

Gulp! @colleenyoung, Guilty as charged... Thank you for the reminder...I tend to go off on tangents so "naturally" that often I start a thought, travel to the ends of the universe and then forget whatever point I was attempting to make in the first place. Sigh. Thanks for the link...will check it out and promise to work harder to stay "on topic" whatever that topic may be. Hugs and Smiles for all you do to keep this creative, rambunctious membership on track. Are You getting any sleep????
Back to adaptations for exercise: Fortunate to have a car but saving the gas to parks for any "emergency run" so circling the house on inclement days and walking the neighborhood weather permitting. Not a record but happy that I've kept my 3x's/week walking goal since January.
