@jude07 I did about a mile and a half at a brisk pace. That's pretty much my limit, it's hard on my knees. I plan to do some more exercise tonight. I am doing core exercises and exercises for balance. Since I have osteoporosis now, balance is more important than ever.

@mayofeb2020 When I went out it was 58° here, I just needed a vest.

@migizii It is a fairly decent workout and not too long. I can exercise for an hour in the gym but I get tired of it when I am watching videos. There are others by a Jenny McClendon that are good too, and fit my requirements of not being too long. If you google her name a number of them will come up. I think they are really for the 50+ crowd.
I tried doing some that my health club has put out on their website but most of them required getting up and down from the floor fairly quickly and I can't do that. It was disheartening for me, I guess I had delusions of being in better shape than I am but the knees conspired against me again.

@pollyanne I hate walking when it's very chilly, I find it more difficult to breathe, I always have.
I did try CBD cream on my knees and on my hips but it didn't help me at all. I think it's one of those things that helps some people but not others.

This has been a good day. The sun was nice and warm. Had to go home and took off my jacket for my second lap. My phone appointment with the cardiologist went well, no sign of afib. I guess the loop recorder will stay for a while. Next appointment in 6 months. Then my grocery order came, the young man texted me while shopping to confirm any substitutes. I got most of the items. Gave him a generous tip. I felt good so I went for another lap!!

I did not post what was said under my hashtag.......have I been hacked?

Try eucalyptus oil with coconut oil fractionated add few drops of lavender and eucalyptus oil or eucalyptus and rose oil to your knees or tiger balm , it's natural resources without nasty side effects , Dr salts have a dead sea salt and eucalyptus shower/bath liquid it's amazing or make your own . Eucalyptus and charcoal with lavender oil make great hand wash. Or peppermint and tea tree oil with rose oil or orange essential oil. Eating less inflammation helps, sugar and processed foods like additives can make inflammatory response to immune diseases , Burdock root and Mullein drops good for lung health ,
as is dandelion root , after i had collapsed lung i took Mullein drops, ( my dearest precious son who is naturist helps people with sports injuries) ginger root tea with lemon and turmeric, dandelion root this helps recover full lung health. Deep breathing to stay with lung health either with steamed bowl cover your head with towel or something, than breathing deep hold for 5 and slowly blowing out , like your blowing through a straw, this support your immune system better too .
Smoothie s great way to increase comfort in your precious bones strength. Especially spinach carrot and turmeric bananas cinnamon, apple juice, (what ever fruits you enjoy eating) carrot s and carrot juice daily just 10/15 mins before you eat your dinner lunch etc.. can keep your precious hearts smiling. Hope this helps you guy's, enjoy your precious day knowing your not alone. Kind regards swift :.) HUG * from England @@@@@@@@@@@

@contentandwell, Thank you for the Jenny McClendon ref. I'm not a fan of exercising with video but I tried her Beginner's video and could do most of it. I've bookmarked the site.
