Unfortunately, I sit in front of the tube all day which is not conducive to exercise. I do get up and walk and walk in the evenings.
I took a major hit when I had back problems a few years back. Had the surgery but never really recovered completely. No drugs which is a huge plus.
I used to love my bike rides. Rode all over the city. The bike trails and walking paths are connected all over the city. You can ride your bike 80 miles in one direction all staying on walking paths. And I'd hike the foothills and open-space in the area. There was a very nice trail right at the base of the mountains and was 7 miles. I'd load up my day pack.
I can't take a lot of credit. God has blessed me with health and I just enjoy doing it. Certainly, nobody needs to work out like I do to be healthy and lean. Walking and a proper diet is all you need after 50. I just love doing it. Some people play golf, some people work in the garage, some bike, some just watch TV. I just have fun in the gym. It's what makes me happy. Holding 200 pounds over your head makes you focus and forget all the problems in your life. It's my stress relief. For those moments I can forget everything else and just have fun.
