A Healthier Me

Like many, I begin the new year by reflecting on what life changes I could make to live a happier, healthier life.

For quite a few years now, I've tried to walk 10,000 steps a day. Walking is a natural human exercise, one associated with improved health. 

But what else could I do?

Recently I watched my daughter and granddaughter "planking" - which reminded me of a stationary push up. I could never do pushups, but maybe I could try that...

When I mentioned it to Terry, a look of horror crossed his face. "No! Don't do it!..."

Really?!

Unlike kids, who try anything - at my age, its's really hard to know what I should and shouldn't attempt!

I remember TRYING (unsuccessfully) to touch my head and toes, like my granddaughter is doing here. But that was MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY years ago! I wonder if that's another exercise I should refrain - at my age - from trying!
