OMG workout for health care NOT POLITICAL

THIS IS NOT DONE FOR ANY POLITICAL REASON IT IS ONLY FOR THE SHOCK VALUE OF WHAT RICHARD SIMMONS WILL DO

Although Nan & I are not total health nuts, we both treadmill 6 days a week & do weights 3 days a week. We do it in some part to stay in shape to compete our dogs & in part to try to stay healthy. I think a person has to decide for themselves what & how much to do depending on their own situation. That said both of us feel a big and good difference when we do other activities such as skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, & especially running the dogs. I don't know about working out for the ins. co. though.

after years of construction work and being very heavy i am paying the price of not being healthy now. i tried a tread mill and had to sell it because the pain walking caused my body was not worth it. that is the only envy i have in life for other people, i sometimes wish i could do it over again and be healthy instead of feeling the way i do now. so stay healthy and take care of yourself

I have mostly worked in IT, 41 yrs., so my body had it easy from that point. How do you feel about swimming? Might be the way to go if you get a hankering to.

Not bad for a 65 year old man. The wife has some of his workout videos and he does put you through the paces. We both use the Wii and Connect for XBox 360. And we walk when we can, usually on the track or 2.5 mile trail on base. I need to shed some weight for sure so we're working on that. Eating healthier.

retired

being a big guy i was always in the BULL GANGS on most of the jobs i was on. than i became a foreman for 10 years and all i did was walk to check the jobs and meetings about the jobs so i let myself go. than when i retired i really let myself go and i gained more weight and became type 2 diabetic and it's has been down hill from there

Here's the thing..!!

I have been doing a lot of work on the house we bought two and half years ago. Actually full time and this kind of physical movement is not classified by many doctors and weight control people as excersise. Just two of us cutting down trees, pouring concrete mixed in a wheel barrel, moving bricks blocks pavers lumber etc across an acre of land is quite stressful on the body. Lost a lot of weight but it has now come to bite me in the butt..literally. Since around xmas my hip has developed severe pain limiting my range of walking to about 50 feet. I have picked up weight because I did not adjust my diet to match my degree of movement, correcting that now. So I am skeptical about all these diet/excersise theories floating around. Everyone works for someone but none work for everyone. Question is which one will work for you and can you and your body afford the journey to find out...here is the silver lining to my search..even though I can not walk far I can ryde, which I do every chance. Get off only for gas and ryde on. Do ryde alone not many like to ryde this way. So what I'm saying is you have to find whats right for you according to your life style and not according to skinny muscular pretty commercials...I also cook amazing healthy great tasting food that most won't eat because healthy food has to taste nasty to be good...wow I said too much...:dontknow: Jmo

But there is........if you're serious about wanting to be better and feel better.

http://www.livestrong.com/article/398105-the-best-recumbent-bike-workout-for-weight-loss/

One hour a day (6 days a week) at a ●brisk pace (●elevated but reasonable heart rate for your age and physical condition).......is all it takes. Seems like a lot. Until you realize you're getting back more than you're putting in. It's all about desire and commitment.

Start with Yoga

after years of construction work and being very heavy i am paying the price of not being healthy now. i tried a tread mill and had to sell it because the pain walking caused my body was not worth it. that is the only envy i have in life for other people, i sometimes wish i could do it over again and be healthy instead of feeling the way i do now. so stay healthy and take care of yourself

Amazing stuff. I accepted that at 73 I needed to do something other than walk and ryde Ms Spyder roflblack::roflblack for exercise...noticed my balance and flexibility was quickly leaving...so started a beginning Yoga...great instructor that recognizes you start where you can...one parkinson person has started in a chair...after 4 months able to get up and down from floor without falling over or needing assistance. So I am learning makes no diff my chronological age or physical limitations I can choose to "get better". Again that personal accountability/responsibility issue that I am learning so much about. So research YOGA...heck I can even do when actually ryding Ms Spyder or in motel room...nice...:clap:

:agree: Once you join and maybe ride the bike as above or low impact like Eliptical or Arc Trainer you can start doing Spinning classes with others of ALL ages and they always say, "Do what you can, Its your ride, so there is No pressure!" Your Health is the most important thing in the world if you want to continue riding and More Important- Feel Your Best!!

another old fart here

yeah but just remember, being fit and super healthy doesn't necessary make you live longer. just live life n enjoy it while you can ! I try NOT to eat or drink too much though.

Karyl, yoga is one of the best "exercises". I did it for a long time but got away from it. I need to get back to it. It's proven to ease arthritic pain and helps with balance and movement. It was one of the exercises our shifu made us do along with meditation.

Not exactly! That kind of stress will help you drop a few ounces, although it my not be worth the pain.

I run to the bathroom during comercial breaks, while watching sports on T.V.
Does THAT count?
