The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has a National Institute on Aging. We did not know that. The Institute has some suggestions for keeping that exercise motivation in gear.
Variety. Mix it up to work on strength, balance, flexibility and endurance. Makes sense.
Combine daily tasks like walking the dog or taking out the garbage with exercise by picking up the pace.
Make exercise a social activity. (Scratch this one for now unless you want to help thin the herd.)
Track your exercise and reward progress with a movie or massage. (Scratch the movie and massage for now. See thinning the herd above.)
Not particularly helpful? Well, blame Covid and drop down and give us 20!
