@contentandwell and all...
Thanks, JK, but no thanks. Not for me. I'm doing everything possible with this body, I mean truly all that can be done. NO MORE!

I'm clearing, cleaning another closet in another room today. I do more exercise doing these jobs than I possibly could with a program, video. And, I'm accomplishing things only I can and must do before I get ill again, go back into hospital, my son has difficulty or life throws me another pipe bomb!

The only dedicated exercise I will or can do is therapy 95degree pool, or inside walking. I may hit my outdoor pool in late afternoon to soak, relax if it's not raining. That's it.

I'm 75, multiple illnesses and issues, with a demanding caretakers job full time...got a call this morning at 4. He doesn't sleep well or long due to acute and chronic pain 24/7. So, basically, I'm on 24/7 call for him to chat, tell me something he's thinking about, or screaming needing help.

So, enjoy your wonderful times w/YouTube videos.

I'm thrilled to be alive, moving, breathing and able to accomplish some of these life requierements!

I hope you enjoy and get stronger...blessings to you... elizabeth

@ess77 It sounds as if with all you are doing you are getting plenty of movement in there. When you think of it, programmed exercises are there to make up for the fact that many of us do not have a lot of movement day to day but it sounds as if you are doing plenty.

I have not rejoined my health club but one thing I am looking forward to if I do is pool jogging. Unfortunately, the pool is not kept as warm as you mentioned but it's the only pool available for me.

I too am 75, or will be later in the month. I am finding that 75 is a lot different from 65 plus I know I lost momentum during pandemic isolation. I tried to keep up with videos but over time I did them less and less.

It sounds to me as if you are doing an amazing job with all that you have to do. Your son is very lucky to have you.
