    Hey boomers,

    Just wanted to talk about how your fitness routine has changed. I'm a health nut, but I can't keep up with my old routine (too hard on the knees). I've turned to fitness videos; my favorites are by Mirabai Holland, called Moving Free. They're great--I never feel too sore in the morning, and there's no stress on my joints. Check her out at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Moving-Free/174976698070?ref=ts if you're lookin' for a good workout!

    What's your fitness routine now that we're gettin' old and gray?

    Hey Beautygrl,
    Thanks for the link, I think they may be a little easier on my hips since I can't run (and barely walk sometimes).
    Gotta check out more.

    I work with a trainer for 3 months and then 3 months off.

    Using the trainer helps me to keep a program together that works for me.

    I am actually getting stronger and able to do more exercises with greater intensity.

    Beautygrl,

    You're absolutely right. For years I'd been an avid jogger, then switched to working out on the elliptical trainer. The impact is too jarring as our cartilage wears and we haven't the cushion we used to.

    Eva,
    I only know that I used to run track in school and now I can barely walk up the stairs.
    I've been making a concerted effort to do more walking, a little at a time. I can't wait til spring and maybe make it all the way around the block!
