We are often told these days that we must exercise. I have tried to duck the questions about exercise I get anytime I have contact with a doctor’s office, ‘ Do you exercise? or How often do you exercise? or What type of exercise do you do? I do try to be creative in my answers but then my honesty gets in the way. I used to be able to say, ‘I do yoga.’ My warrior and cat poses were pretty good. But I quit doing that too. I’ve wasted a lot of money paying for gym and yoga studio memberships and then did not go to the classes after a while. I have decided to try some exercise classes at my local city recreation center in the Fall. They are closer to my house, are scheduled at a decent time, and are not overly expensive. And I don’t have to sign a contract. I am looking for gentle limbering up not high impact, weight-bearing, hot chakra yoga or some such thing. Not looking for a triathlon or Iditarod. Not even interested in Zumba Gold. Maybe a nice Qui Gong.

I recently got back to going to a weekly yoga class, “gentle yoga,” after years of occasional stretching in front of the TV. It really does feel better. But I’m with you on not wanting anything high impact. Qui Gong is nice, too!

It’s nice you have a weekly class. I am curious about Qui Gong or one of the other gentler classes being offered. ❤

Good luck finding something that works, Deborah. Exercise is important but I’m not up for a grueling routine.
