I wish I could sleep longer, but six hours is what I average.

I despise exercise. Reminds me of the dreaded gym classes in school. Doc says my 30+ round-trips up/down stairs help. Not ideal, but it’s something.

I recall that disco was good exercise, and fun — not gym-esque.

I laughed at your reference to disco, its true, that was great and fun exercise. The chuckle was thinking, dang, that was fun in college and here we are talking about it as exercise between receiving social security checks.

I love the gym, did 14-minute bone-strengthening miles on the treadmill five days a week until gyms were locked down for covid. With little exercise, osteoporosis kicked in and I broke a knee and a year later an ankle. Just cleared by orthopedist to go back to the gym. Treadmill safer than walking around neighborhood because sidewalks have various tilt and crack problems.

My MD said it was rare for anyone my age (87) to get back to normal after those breaks. Most people require walkers or wheelchairs. I weigh 116, which probably helps and take 12 supplements every day including bone-strengthening liquid calcium-magnesium, one prescription drug.
