Thank you for this article. My exercise is I walk a mile before breakfast 6 days a week to make sure I get at least 5,000 steps a day. Saturdays we go shopping at the Base and other stores, so I usually get my steps. I also do Hatha yoga 3 to 4 times a week.
I’ve been thinking of checking out a Pilates’ class and a yoga class on Base. Just this morning I was thinking about how I prefer to work out alone. And I probably wouldn’t be able to keep up Vinyasa flow yoga in class because I’m older now. A friend was saying older women should do Hatha yoga. Your article is showing me my excuses. It can’t hurt to try both classes. Who knows, I may become a regular?
Thank you for reading it, Pamela. You have a pretty good fitness regime going there. I'm a step counter, too. It's a reliable way of getting us moving.
The thing that makes me less afraid of growing older is looking at my older friends and family members, who look amazing and are still active and productive; they’re making the most of every second of their lives.
However, health is always on my mine. I’m trying very hard to eat healthily, but like you say: you need to read labels. I’ve just noticed that the hummus I eat for breakfast contains seed oils, brown sugar and colouring, and my oat cakes contain palm oil; these are substances I wouldn’t choose to put into my body.
Trying to eat healthily and avoid certain additives is a minefield, Cliona. When you get to the third age you will no doubt live it to the full because you are starting early to manage your health. Thank you for your comment.
Great article! My hubs and I are in our mid 60s. After a depressing session of listening to my SIL going on about how old she feels (she's a decade younger), I asked my husband if he felt old. He said no and I said me neither. We're not sure when we'll be old but it's way in the future.
Thank you, Lily. Glad you enjoyed the article. When I got to my mid-sixties I decided I was going to give myself at least another twenty years before giving in to "being old". It's now more than ten years hence and I'm still thinking that! You and your husband have the right idea. I appreciate your comment.
