One of my biggest problems with exercising at home is that I do not have access to the variety of cardio machines that are available at the gym.

Are you going to be like my husband who lies on the sofa making wisecrack remarks while I am doing “girlie” pushups? Or are you going to actually do the exercise, get sweaty, and slightly breathless?

I consider these activities to be my socializing time since my focus is talking to the people I am with.

I believe that my physical independence as I age is base on the things I do now to make sure my body stay strong when I am older. I will never forget the frustration I felt when it took me 20 minutes to walk 2 blocks from my house to the church and back a couple of weeks after my car accident.
