Cooper Aerobics Think I will gave this note on adult exercise in the summer time.

"Adults ages 18-64 should accumulate 2 hours and 30 minutes of aerobic physical activity each week at a moderate level of intensity, or if vigorous activity is more your style—1 hour and 15 minutes. But you don’t have to stop there. Increasing the duration of activity to 5 or more hours each week can increase health benefits! While the recommendation is a total accumulated amount, it is ideal to spread your aerobic activity out over 3 or more days. Strengthening activities, like push-ups, sit-ups, and weight lifting are important for adults to participate in at least 2 days a week."

There is growing research that looks at exercise over a week's time. A 150 minutes of exercise has health results for adults. Walking, biking, swimming, using stairs, cutting grass, shoveling snow, strength training all can add up to a healthier body.

On the warm days of summer it means more sweating. That means more hydration as we move. I sweat more than most people in part because of my CP and my body always tensing up. Working up a good sweat in a workout and the good feeling afterward is actually good for us. Intensity may change as we get older but is a good boost.

Working out and walking indoors and out I have been careful with my Achilles tendon. It has a tendency to tighten so I have to apply good stretching and relaxing the tendon. My overall fitness has improved so I don't want any set backs. It helps to wear support shoes throughout the day. Climbing stairs also helps. My stairs to the second floor are steep but that works out as a good thing for my fitness. My plans are to do disc golf tonight. I have my stick laid out and am ready to go. Keep walking
