[quote=Anonymous]After decades of morbid obesity and laziness, I have spent my 40s getting into a healthy BMI, a much better relationship with food, and a much higher level of daily activity. I want to maximize all of the years I have left, so I'm mining for small improvements I can make on a daily basis. I know I need to incorporate cardio and weight-lifting so that's my plan for the rest of 2024. I already:

* eat mostly plant-based
* walk 3-4 miles a day
* keep my weight in the healthy BMI range
* stay active by doing things like: parking far away from my destination, walk extra laps when I am at the mall, put things away one at a time to keep my steps] count up, etc
* the small things I've been doing: practice my balance while I brush my teeth, green tea, jog in place when my dogs sniff the same bush for what feels like forever, and I happen to love crosswords...

I would welcome any ideas you have for small ways to incorporate movement and better health into my life. I'm watching my very sedentary mother pass away in increments and I have so much left to do and see, I am thankful for any advice![/quote]
