I am constantly on the move and I take melatonin to make sure I get enough sleep. I laugh frequently, garden, play with my dogs, and listen to audiobooks on my frequent travels between my three residences. I get my cancer screenings and get regular checkups with my specialists every six months. I try to stay positive and proactive as much as possible. Thank you for this post! As mothers, we deserve to enjoy the “fruits of our labors” raising children all of those years!❤️❤️❤️

Betsie,

I’ve never heard of the Stealth Trainer (https://amzn.to/3vg42aL), but it looks so fun! I might just have to order one! I think it’s great that you walk 5 days a week. You are inspirational! I agree that any movement is beneficial!

Thanks so much for your comment and for sharing such great info Betsie!

I really don’t like exercising, either, but I figure every bit of extra movement will help keep me more spry as I age! Too many older folks get sedentary and then when a real medical issue occurs, they are not fit to recover as well because of this sedentary lifestyle. I walk on my treadmill for 30 minutes 5 days a week (most weeks), and have a Stealth trainer which I use for strength training for my core. It was a FB impulse purchase, but I like it! You use an app and place your phone on it with little games that keep you moving for a set number of minutes as you stay in a plank position. I can’t seem to get beyond 2 minutes at a time, but, again, I believe any little extra types of exercise are beneficial! I must say, you look so cute in your workout clothes–I wear a very old ratty tee shirt and a very old pair of shorts when I work out–my stinky clothes!! 🙂
Hope you have a great week!
