work-out (play) stuff

I once told a patient that a person can be "fit"
(or at least "more fit")
at almost any age, weight, level of mobility - 
She said "Prove it - show me!"

I am not your typical 20 year old
built-like-a-trainer fitness guru.


Clearly I have a ways to go.
But that's exactly the point -
A person doesn't need to be "fit" to start.
That's how we get to be more fit!
And it can be fun!


Balance on a work out ball is not so easy!
I sometimes use this as a chair for when I work online.
These Swiss balls are very popular in Pediatric Nursing...
Now you can get them almost anywhere!


Laying back. Stretching!

Trying a push up or two -
Just holding the position is not easy!


Be smart - It's like 100 in the shade!
Drink water and go easy!


A good stretch. Pull one leg up.
Feel the stretch in the other leg - the crossed leg!

Some easy things that don't take alot of time - 
Time flies when you are having fun!

Hope your day is great!

  5. Sounds very hot where you are! You exercise more than I do. Good for you! I do a few stretches and weights (10 of this, 10 of that - done) before hopping in the shower in the am. I am so lazy. I do walk my dog twice a day. Does that count? lol
