By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

Cwillie, I also do marches or squats while the kettle boils!
We are all just fabulous 👏 👏👏
This week I've been researching the GLA:D program (GLA:D®, Good Life with osteoArthritis from Denmark). Took some searching but found videos online to instruct me.
Once dinner goes down it is time for 'trunk' exercises. I hope they make me look LESS tree trunk shaped 😁
I have seen those. It does look fun.
I loved jumping on a trampoline when I was a kid. Bungee jumping has the same fun vibe as trampoline jumping.
I have been pretty consistent continuing my 15 minute YouTube exercise video (JJ's Fit Club Workout 1.0) routine Monday, Wednesday and Friday and have found I am really turning a corner with it: for instance, today, I felt much peppier during the "step-up" portion of the video (stepping up on a stool or chair holding a lighter weight), and I have been able to do more reps of several exercises.
Also, besides reassuring myself that “it’s only 15 minutes,” I also find exercising more palatable when I give myself permission in advance to switch out any routines within the 15 minute video. For instance, sometimes I do a deep stretch or just a more fun exercise instead of one of the ones in the video. It works for me!
My uncle who lived in New Jersey had the same problem during the winter months.
He exercised regularly after his heart issues began. He enjoyed his long walks outside when the weather was nice.
In the winter he would walk in Home Depot because it was a large store. One day the security guard approached him and questioned him as to why he saw him daily in the store without making any purchases.
My uncle explained that he was getting his exercise by walking inside and the security guard understood.
Does your town have a senior center that holds exercise classes? Or a gym facility?
I wish there were more gyms that had indoor pools for year round swimming. It would make more sense to me. Same with hotels when traveling during the winter season.
Many hotels have beautiful outdoor pools that are only used during the summer months. I love going to a hotel with an indoor pool so I can swim at any time of the year. Plus I don't have to apply sunblock on my skin.
Malls are disappearing all over and is no longer an option. They are being transformed into other places, some are going to be utilized as assisted living facilities.
There are still two large malls left in the nearest city there but they are too far away to take advantage of. What used to be my favourite mall in the city has had the upper floor taken over by offices, I used to love going there to people watch.
Indoor walking tracks are a perfect solution for people in colder climates.
