hope everyone is doing well for themself and happy..im asking everyone to do ten extra minutes of cardio or other exercise for me today.. during that ten minutes think about how lucky you are to be able to do it. i talked to a new resident last night at the nursing home while i was working. she has her mind and not her body function. she told me she would give anything to be able to walk.. while we grumble about our diets or 'having to exercise' think about those less fortunate and cannot do those things any longer in their lives. we are very lucky people to have the luxury to walk, run,swim,ect.. have a blessed day!

    Count me in!
    I also consider how lucky I am to be able to exercise or even walk to the mail box. Where I work I am the one who takes the mail up to the mailbox at the top of the driveway, because most of the others can't because they are too out of shape to make it up the slight hill. I am also the oldest employee at 61.

    Yes, I will do it. This is a good idea, sometimes we take it for granted that we'll always have the ability walk, move, etc.....

    I'll be curling (that's a sport, not hairdressing :happy: ) tonight for your resident and others who would if they could.
