Best Exercises You Can Do

[Woodznutz]

both rest and exercise are good for the mind and body .. do you think resting constantly and lying on the couch is better than exercise and getting 7 to 8 hrs sleep ..

. I've done both over my lifetime, and resting is hands down the better way to go overall.

Best plan for weight management is to not eat so much. Cheaper too. Also, very hard for women to increase muscle mass.

I think women can use weights too.

When the "experts" say that we need more exercise you can be sure that we don't.

Maybe, I do know that most 100 year olds don't look like they just left the gym, ALTHOUGH, if I don't walk a mile a day I feel really bad and I'm an old woman.
I also love to dance to loud music of all kinds.

Exercise has it's risks.

Is the risk of atrial fibrillation higher in athletes than in the general population? A systematic review and meta-analysis - PubMed

The risk of AF is significantly higher in athletes compared with not athletes. However, this finding should be confirmed further in large-scale prospective longitudinal studies.

I get close to it cleaning house ,gardening, training our 4 large shelter dogs although I still like walking on our trails for mental health as well as physical exercise. So that is where I get almost a mile in.

athletes exercise a lot more than a few hrs a week .. they many exercise for 3 or more hrs a day ! resisting training and other forms of exercise from 30 to 90 minutes 3 to 4 times a week is good for you ..

I don't take medications except for Larsartan if bp is high and a baby aspirin. I seldom go to doctors, they have been bad for my health, although they do come in handy in an emergency and some conditions.

I'm a firm beleiver in food for health,

How old a woman are you, if I may ask?

So, there must be a better way to improve one's physical condition. I recommend rest (properly done of course).
