Exercise Should Be Fun

As I got closer to retirement age, I realized that I wanted to be able to enjoy my retirement and not be like so many others I have seen who can’t walk a block without having to sit down. I also believe that exercise should be enjoyable. So I thought about the things I enjoyed doing as a child. I started riding a bike and joined a water aerobics class. I’ve also, at various times taken fencing lessons and salsa lessons. I even tried belly dancing, which I may go back to. I tried yoga, but that’s not for me. I tried tai chi, which I like much better, especially since it works on balance. I use the tai chi moves to help me get around in my garden.
