Hello @gina5009
I agree with the suggestion of water exercise. It can be very refreshing and often does not result in joint pain the way that exercise-on-land does. I had to give it up due to skin irritation from the chemicals used in the pool water, but I do miss it.
Water exercise classes (or walking in water on your own) are usually available at senior centers (that offer pools) or at other exercise clubs, like the Y.
@Idied2x Have you tried water exercise?

I did aqua aerobics for 20 years, when I was in my 40,50,60's. I do not do it now, because I might be able to get in the pool, but I am not sure I could get out, and I have tried the chair lift (pretty scary at 92). Also, the facility I would be using has two pools, 1 the exercise is at 8 in the morning. Pool is not heated. Pool #2 is very hot and classes are around 2 p.m., and the outside temp is 102. In addition, I now have become very lazy, and just like to rest a great deal. I try to do little exercises when I am sitting like leg lifts, or ankle pumps anything to get the blood circulating. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and concern
