I'm just getting where it's hard for me to even walk. i have always exercised regularly and have the means to do so, just don't have the strength.

Hi @spacewalker - Do you have any family or friends that to go out for walks? I have similar issues with walking due to my lower back. I do make it a point to get 5,000+ steps daily with my exercise bike/cross-trainer and when the weather is nice I try to take a walk around the neighborhood. There is a discussion that you might consider joining and meeting other members discussing walking:
