I exercise 3 times a day but half the time I don't really want to do it. But I make myself do it anyway 'cause since I'm retired I'm not nearly as active as I once was working outdoors. Yeah, exercise is good for my health but I don't have much enthusiasm for it at times.
Anyway, during the cold months I use a pedal exerciser, seen below, for my legs doing 3 miles a day, a mile at a time. When I'm done with that I place the machine on a counter & do my arms for the equivalent of .5 of a mile each time.
During warm weather I'll be out walking instead of using the machine. Now that's more enjoyable 'cause I like being outdoors & I often see neighbors or other walkers to exchange greetings with.

Yes, sping is in the air! I'm looking forward to much needed exercise and hopefully getting back to walking again now that my leg has healed. I, like you don't always like exercising at times but I do love the results.

Carl, your post reminds of how much I admire your never give up mindset in overcoming your situation.
I too hope you can walk again.

LOL! Keep that up and my head will be too big to get out the door to exercise.

Thanks, Hank!
Nothing like a broken leg to put a stop to all exercise. But it made me realize I needed to take a break.

Hold on a minute - - -"broken leg" and "--take a break". Sounds like we need a punster to put these words together!!
Glad to hear that you're heading out and about, Carl. Slow and easy to start and good results will follow.

Too funny!
