Great post. Active lifestyle with a manageable exercise regimen > checking a box with a workout and then be a couch potato. Make it easy initially and then progressively increase difficulty once you’re comfortable with the routine.

I used to be very active my whole life and incorporated cycling into my daily routine as much as possible, it was definitely fun, kept me energetic, and was a social outlet Now however I have a medical condition which makes exercise actively bad for my health, and it has been a journey adjusting my lifestyle to compensate. But now I have the perspective of both ends of the activity spectrum, and I will say I do a lot more reading and thinking on bigger topics now than I used to.

Today started the fourth consecutive week of an arise and walk habit. Long ago I waked my dog after awaking. She and the dachshund who succeeded her are gone. Returning to the 6:30 walk has reinvigorated my spirit. While I prefer parks woods as centerpieces of these treks and moseys, I realized just the other morning how truly unlimited the routes are out there door and beyond the driveway. At the start of this 4th week I can reflect on the last three and acknowledge my mind and body are much improved. Now, I need to layer in those bodyweight calisthenics. Thanks for the well-written and encouraging piece.

My wife and I found a great rhythm with 3x a week of Tabatha doing 8 exercises in a rotation with 6 Tabatha cycles each.

When we started we did it with friends for accountability and now we have our kids join when they turn 10. We've been going for 12 years and are in great shape.
