As Father Time is creeping up on me, I know exercise is important. Over the last several years I purchased an exercise machine, a rower, a peddler (that you can use while sitting in a chair), all sorts of exercise DVDs, created an exercise CD, etc. etc. I would use each one for a bit before losing interest and then they sit there collecting dust.
About a month ago, I started something new and so far, I am keeping up with it. I am a "tea-aholic." I drink maybe 5+/- cups a day (caffeine and decaf/herbal). So, while I am heating the water for my next cup, I go up and down the stairs at least 3 maybe four times at a brisk pace. The idea is, if I continue, I will add more "laps."
I know the best form of exercise is the one that you will do-and so far, so good. After a month, my thighs & butt are firming up and so far, I have not felt it in my knees. I only took two days off in the last month and that is because we were traveling.
Now, I just need some kind of exercise to firm up my arms that I will continue to do.

Practice this move while you wait for the water to heat up .....do ten of them.
You could pump some free weights while going up the stairs.
The issue with that if that I hold on to the railing going up and down-I don't want to go down head first. But thanks for the suggestion.
