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.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.

As for the shovelling - I've got one of those big snow scoops so although it's heavy pushing I don't do any lifting.
How are the knees?
Covid is so bad here. About 640 active cases last Thursday. Must check today. The National Western has really caused quite a spike here.
How are you doing Glad?
I almost didn't recognize it. ;)

I was still walking an hour before I went to bed.
Today got another three miles, exhausted stopped by about 4. Hoping fora good night's sleep.😴😴
I always push myself too hard one day and then pay for it the next day and then don't do anything for the rest of the week.
But you aren't like me Glad so don't worry.
But 3 miles is twice of what I usually do. See what happens tomorrow.
Checks thermometer... -18°C (around 0°F)
Hm, maybe I'll walk inside today.
There are 23 steps from my front bedroom wall to the other bedroom wall at the back of the house, then back, back again only this time through dining room, then downstairs and twice back and forth down there, then upstairs - repeat. This is how I get my 250 steps each hour, and on days I can't go out if I concentrate on 1000 steps each hour I can hit my 10,000 step target. It gets old.
Plus... going outside is good for my mental health. But this time of year the trail is a treacherous rutted icy pathway and I end up walking main street from end to end (small town, so that's slightly more than 1.25 miles each way).
I have snowshoed other years but we've had a mild winter, so I can't do that. I haven't been able to cross country ski since I broke my ankle 30 yrs ago.
Remember the XBX Canadian Airforce exercises? I used to do them. They can all be done inside with no equipment, I was thinking of starting them again - gently, You can download a PDF document of them
CW, have you seen eldergym?

Why did you search for outside CW? Snowshoeing, cross country skiing? Snowshoeing is great exercise if you have enough snow.
Get a stability ball and a couple of weights.
biking... uhm, it's winter
golf - see above
swimming - yeah, the pool's covered in ice
gardening.... Uhm..
tennis.... but...
water aerobics.... IT'S WINTER!!
tai chi and yoga, playing with children 🙄
I specified for seniors in my search because otherwise I get results like running a marathon
I am in terrible shape. Will now check into silver sneakers through a part b supplement. Leaning towards UHC through AARP. Theirs is not silver sneakers but called Renew Active. There is only two gyms in town one takes silver sneakers, the other takes SS and Renew. The one that takes both is the only one with a pool.
Will think about it a bit longer.
