What do you do for exercise?
I wrenched my knee pretty badly over the holidays (rearranging furniture to put up the tree). Before that I had been walking between 2 and 4 miles everyday for the last 5 years. I now can walk around the house and out to the car and around the store (thank goodness ) but I haven't been able to walk any distance to speak of. I came out of class the other day and it was beautiful out and I thought...it couldn't hurt if I walked a little. So I probably did a half mile. Then I went back to my car. When I got out of the car at home I realized my knee was really hurting.....so I had walked too soon. Anyway, I am chomping at the bit to do some real exercise again. I am lifting light weights but it is not the same as something more aerobic.
Now I ask with some envy.....what do you do for exercise?

Well, before my heart attack in mid-October, I was walking in the woods about 4 miles, twice a week; and the treadmill on the other days. I was at 3.0 for 45 minutes. Sadly, I have not taken any walks through the woods and I can only do 10 minutes on the treadmill at 2.0. I am hoping that by the Spring, I will be able to get back to the level I was at before the attack. I also do lots of walking on the job, so every bit counts
Edited for PS...I hope your knee will be better very soon!
Now, saunter over to my place, kick off your shoes and just relax!

I like to walk along the waterfront at twilight or right on dusk. If it's a pretty night I tend to stroll rather than do any walking that would qualify as 'exercise.' There's a huge park a few minutes from my house too, which is a beautiful, serene place to walk in and near the library I go to there's another park with a lake with swans and ducks and geese, and fish and eels in the water. That's a decent walk too.
I should do way more exercising than I actually do; been on my list of 'things to do' since about...1979.
LV,
Good to see you coming back with verve from that heart attack. I had a 'brush with death' a few months back. Tends to give a rather clearer perspective on life.

I am glad you are still around! As for me, I'm a tough old broad - we New York women are a fiesty lot!
