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.

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.

If you're not familiar with Asian squat and its benefits, you can read here. In short, it strengthens leg muscles, hip joints, and knees, improves mobility and flexibility. All very important to prevent fall and breakage in later years.

Jokes needed to lighten our day. Enter at your own risk!
I'm in the fitness protection program I've been hiding from exercise.
Dear InMyShoes,
Maybe someone here can borrow your shoes?
BUT, pre-caregiving back in the day I used to go to a weekly kettlebell class and learned the basics there. That and other various exercise classes I went to over the years has definitely been helpful now.
Do you have a gym membership that fees would be payable by your Medicaid advantage or supplement plan?
Exercising my way right into Thanksgiving — and beyond! 😉🏋️♀️🦃
CW, I got 9,000 yesterday and today. I am working on getting back to it. That is 4 miles inside! It has been way too cold to try to go out!
(I suppose I could just cut back on what I eat but screw that, I want my treats🍫🍬)
[I don't know if that's actually true in Canada, mind.]
Buffalo Bills game moved to Cleveland.
Then I found with Advantage Plans you can get a free fitbit every two years. I have Part G supplement that I pay for and not free with that plan that I can find. That seems odd and unfair.
Glad -happy you are feeing better. 😊
I sent myself into PEM -post exertional malaise of CFS/FM - by doing too many squats, so slow and easy does it now. You don't know where the limits are unless you test them.
I’m getting my walks in and staying with the kettlebell.
First day of Autumn is Thursday, September 22. Anyone else exercising their way into Fall? 😊🍁🍂
I confess that I stopped when she announced the half-time break, and I further confess that quite a lot of the 25-30 minutes was spent in hysterics while I tried to follow her boogying right and left and it was all I could do not to fall over - but! Definitely worked up a sweat, and will definitely try again. I like the way she says don't worry about it, just go for it.
I had no idea I'd become so hopelessly uncoordinated, though :(
I've found that anything led by someone under the age of 40 is invariably going to be too intense no matter how it is labelled, and anything labelled for seniors is going to be incredibly uninspiring. And I don't like videos with a single person demonstrating the moves nearly as much as those with a group, preferably one that has all sizes and abilities taking part. Many of Leslie's videos have groups of uber fit women (perfectly coiffed with expertly applied makeup) and I find myself wanting to reach through the screen and slap them upside the head.... friggin show offs.
It was great fun, I loved it, but as they say: "dance like no one can see you."
Try to get 6,000 steps a day, four is seven isn't too bad.
Walking around the neighborhood?
Doing a quick plank or a few squats?
A few favorite yoga poses or stretches?
YouTube fitness videos (such as Leslie Sansone Walk at Home videos as mentioned below, or JJ Virgin or Denise Austin, etc.)?
Breathing/relaxation exercises?
I myself am getting back to my morning kettlebell mini-workout after a brief 2nd shingles shot hiatus. Now working up to more reps for each exercise!
Good on ya Willie!
Thank you! I could not do even 3 minutes, feeling very weak in the 100 degree heat.
Taking a nap until it cools off more.
Needing more salads, less tamales.
I will save the resource, but if you want to keep talking about the exercise videos again later, that will remind me when I get a news feed notification from the "Exercise Buddies" thread.
Oh here, I'll save you the search and link it

I can do 15 minutes.
Noticed the videos are older, 3 rs., 5 yrs., 7 years.
If my dH will do it with me, maybe he will like it if we play the repetitive e-music he likes.
