Good afternoon Kathie @m098011 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I also have struggled to stay consistent about exercise. I moved from a place where the weather supported outdoor exercise year-round to a new home in the beautiful state of MN...where the weather makes it difficult for consistent outdoor exercise. Here are a few activities that help me.

Join or form a small daily walking group. When others expect you....it might be easier to be consistent.
Find classes at your local community center for "Fitness after Fifty" type programs.
Join Zoom classes for Yoga.....I love just having to get the mat out and plugin.
If you qualify take a look at Silver Sneakers programs.

Ask a Yoga instructor to design a Yoga program for your capabilities and health goals. Use it as part of your morning wake-up routine. Some of my friends add mindful meditation practice sometime during their day.

What has worked best for you?

May you find joy today.
Chris
