How do you accept change as you age?

Age 69 male here who had CABGx4 in 2009, I've been fine since then. I exercise at the YMCA M-F with a combination of weight machines and walking on the treadmill 30-60 minutes. Since everything is closed due to Covid-19 I really miss my exercise. I read where we should continue exercise programs at home: 15 sit-ups, 15 pushups, 15 jumping jacks, etc...so I started with 5 sit-ups and 1 pushup (haven't done these for decades). I'm up to 15 sit-ups and 3 pushups today (I know, doesn't sound like much of anything). The plan is to continue increasing every day. Just hope things open up before I reach 100. Be safe everybody.

Hello @featherstep1 and welcome to Mayo Connect. It sounds as if you have developed a very healthy exercise program since your CABG in 2009. Many of us are missing the Y and other group exercise programs. There are a lot of good exercise programs on Youtube. You might take a look at those as well.

How are you feeling with this new exercise program?
