Over 60 & near retirement❣️
The last couple of years I have become decrepit! I’ve been too focused on “just getting through my workday” after a dismal change in management.
Trying to rise above and reclaim my happy healthy self as I head closer to retirement and found myself here! Kismet…
Starting with “Foundation Lite” and moving forward from there. Wish me luck!🍀

@Dawn the realization you're at and its intention are a great place to start. There are a gazillion options here to help you do that I will, however add this: Be patient, be methodical, be kind to yourself. Start small, achieve small wins every day and the rest will follow. I hope this helps.

Day 1, 12Mar24
:v:Foundation Lite Level 1
:v:Walk
Thoughts: waking up muscles with the workout :ss:. Ventured out in the sunny day for a walk (boat ramp and back). Just over an hour, stats are in fitness app. Was very painful at times: on the way out- left knee, both ankles, right shoulder; on the way back-eased off until laneway when ankles were an 10 on the 1-10 pain scale.
EOD: felt fine all over

Thoughts: had to catch up a day since I only walked yesterday. Really sped up the Day 5 routine so I was sweating slightly but I was feeling good about everything!

NOTE: Going forward, Yoga is 30-40min/2x/day, more of a spiritual yoga. However, is very body challenging too!




Day 15, 26Mar24
:v:Yoga - 30min x2
:v:Foundation Lite, Day 9, Level 1
Thoughts: Fast Paced Cardio on this without 2min rests, only 2 deep breaths. This routine put me out of breath. Hope to get over that issue in the near future. Must keep going...
