Exercise and Fitness

I am like you, although I have never stopped exercising, or playing Golf which I do walking 90% of the time. I walk the 18 holes and everything hurts later, but because I am doing exactly the exercises that you are doing (bike, weights, running on my backyard, leg exercises, and some machines I have at home) I am able to recuperate fairly quickly.

I also have arthritis on my hands and other parts but I made the decision that I am going to live with it and damn if I am going to stop doing the things I love.

My recommendation for you to work your legs is to go to some place like Aldy's and buy some kettleweights (cow bell weights?) to do legs, they are very inexpensive there, it works wonderful...WARNING, the first few days you do the exercises you will walk funny, but hey, its a piece of conversation..."Bettie, why are you walking funny?" "well, I am doing exercises everyday and when I do legs, that is what happens, how about you? .... hehe, and so goes."

Congratulations and admiration to you for taking the decision to exercise, its not easy, but keep it up, you will feel better, sleep better, and of course, look better.

Forgot to mention...at the beginning make sure to take it slow, and you may be doing it already. I tend to forget my age, and that can be a problem because injuries are easier at my age, and harder to fix...Have fun, just wanted to say that.
