I’m trying to keep up my New Year’s resolution of exercising, but I’m struggling! I can’t easily leave the house to participate in classes or go to the gym, and I don’t have anyone to encourage me or hold me accountable for exercising at home.
I know I’m not the only one feeling like this! Would anyone else like to become long-distance workout buddies on this website?
- What motivates you to exercise?
- What are your goals?
- What exercise activities do you enjoy or find work the best for you?
If you’re interested, let’s encourage each other and share our accomplishments. Maybe this will help motivate positive change in our lives.
I eat cucumbers too. They are hydrating.
Is diluted tea as hydrating as water? I love coffee and I know that it is a diuretic and dehydrating.
I mainly cycle on my exercise bike and walk. Thinking about adding some weight training. I don’t need to lose weight, mainly want to build muscle strength. My bone density test was okay. I have had severe breaks in the past. I have steel rods in my arm after an accident from years ago.
My doctor told me that I have stage three kidney disease and to stay hydrated.
Although coffee and tea can act as diuretics studies have shown that for most people there is a net benefit, especially for those who are regular users - no need to avoid either one.
Studies have also mostly debunked the whole drink X litres of water a day advice

My doctor told me to aim for 64 oz a day and I am struggling to drink that much water.
They are going to keep an eye on my labs.
I found chugging a big glass of water before my morning coffee and breakfast is a good way to get in some extra fluids (but I usually don't bother🤷🏻♀️).
Maybe, that is what I have to do. Drink some water ‘before’ my coffee like you do. I tend to head straight for the coffee pot.
I wasn’t as concerned about it until my doctor discussed my labs with me and said that so many people are dehydrated and don’t even realize it.
I do drink herbal tea and love it so I thought I might try some of those icee instead of hot. I would get more water that way since the ice is melting in the glass.
I tend to sip drinks and like Gershun said, I don’t meet the daily requirements.

I am doing a program called Mighty Health that is through Renew Active, doesn't cost me a dime. The same sort of deal, I am sure they just be keeping data for some study. Mighty Health is completely online. They have a YouTube channel with their exercise videos. Of course the channel is called Mighty Health.

Maybe I should add black strap molasses to the lemon water?I

Anyone else getting back into their exercise routines as Spring has sprung? Anything new that you’re trying? 👟 🎾 🥾
I also am trying to eat adequate protein at each meal every day to maintain muscle mass.

What I can see is that the lady has great core and leg strength but needs work on her upper back and neck,
I noticed that as I am 86 and working on my upper back and neck. I'm not as bent as she is but it is an area that needs work in many of us due to our smart phone and other tech habits.
This video has exercises that are easy to follow and are effective, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6C-wfV27bzI&list=PLdZNbVXrfBDzeI2_MTK3-HGXCg4bqYGRp&index=8
My muscles in that area are talking to me. Remember you need a few days rest between sessions. My new heating pad is being useful this morning!!!😊
My exercise regime, which is sporadic according to how I am feeling, now makes up for the lack of lifting groceries due to delivery during covid . I have put a heavy pipe wrench in a grocery bag and carry that with me when I walk -switching arms. I can throw in more tools as I want heavier weights. Cans would work too but I may use them for cooking. 😋
I've got a terribly rounded back and forward head posture and I do worry that it will cause problems for me, my rounded spine is a lifelong thing though, as a child I was always being told to "stand up straight". At this point lying flat on the floor and trying exercises to straighten my spine is not just difficult it can cause pain, and I'm not sure there is any point to it.
Hazel was a force!!!!
I see people tapping their feet while waiting in line.
