    Here's something I've learned about our amazing bodies. They get stronger for those activities we demand of them. So if there is something you really want to do, progress doing that movement at increasing difficulty and your muscles will respond pretty quickly. For instance, if it is reaching for the soup can from a high shelf, practice pulling the soup can from that shelf and putting it back. Increase weight as you get stronger.

    I now walk at least a 1/4 mile daily and it has helped gain better mobility and I have lost some weight. I even did it at night in 14F degree temps in the winter. Just moving a little will lead to more moving all day I found. Best of luck. An old person many years ago that they do not bury people that still wiggle daily so I try to remember to wiggle some daily. :)

    I will always say fitnessblender.com - I've been beaten at least twice to say it, but as far as I'm concerned, it's worth saying again!!! ;) You can start with the level 1-2 stuff and work your way up through to the level 5. There are so many different times of workouts, so many different lengths, so many different difficulties... *Sighs* Good luck!!! :)
