I walk dog daily, do yoga, some Tai Chi and Chi Qong, some hiking, and just joined a Balance class because I fell hiking twice this summer. My flexibility is not what it used to be! The second time I fell I sprained my wrist and here two months later still can't put a lot of weight on the hand or pain comes. I heard ligaments take a long time to heal.

I started doing weights and resistance bands a week ago doing easy stuff 3lbs especially being careful of my hand with wrist issues.

I need to lose 20 lbs and been yoyo'ing last 20 yrs. I just hired an online coach from England. Nice when you find someone online they can live anywhere. Nice guy, it's just good for me to have to check in with someone for my weight and exercise to keep me going.

I am 67 so at this age you start to really care about your health if you want a longer life that is.
