Get Cooperized
As we age we all need a plan that fits us. Along the way we develop weaknesses or injuries that need rehabbing. Input from a physical therapist is invaluable. Fitness routines can be different at 60+ than when we were 25. The good news is when we add walking, resisitant training, stretching to our retiremnt or over 50 living the benefits are huge to how we feel.
Here is an article for food for thought,
Baby steps are keys for changes. It has been on my mind of late to be the not so fat man walking. I have already taken steps to lose weight. I have relooked at my portion control and I can add more fruits and veggies and reduce protien and carbs. I have conciously quit ice cream treats at night. I am looking forward to walking and many more days hitting the 10,000 steps mark for a day. Being mindful of these changes day to day is key.
Maybe success is found outside the realm of diet and exercise. Once good eating and fitness habits are in place we need to focus on the art of living. Somehow I think this helps with food addictions and sedimentry living. finding one activiy to enjoy or a friendship to be shared, a book to enjoy or movie, a board game with friends, a time of prayer or Bible study, music. If we baby step something each day will that help our health goals. Let's brainstorm this a little bit. Keep walking
