  1. The most important exercise that everyone can do for their entire life... Is "Walking". Our feet act as sub-pumps that help >> PUSH >> the blood back up into our heart. This is even more important if there are extra pounds around the middle (beer bellies, love handles, any amount that has "Dun'Lap'd" over our waistline.) Keeping our feet healthy keeps the return pumps functioning and keeps the return circulation working at its best. Gravity pulls the blood down into our feet and calves and if the pumps do not work well all sorts of health problems 'WILL" occur. Seniors and even slightly overweight individuals suffer many issues from poor lower leg circulation which is related to not walking enough. P.S. I've worked with enough seniors over the years. Walking to the bathroom, refrigerator, windows to look out... Nope. Not the same as walking for exercise. Things that you do during a normal day are NOT defined as "Exercise". Sorry... Nope... 😂 Also, unless you have severe joint inflammation or back injuries (stiff unused joints don't count)... They are called WALKERS , they are not called LEANER ON'ERS ! The handles should be at or just above waist level. Basically, stand up straight, lets your arms hand naturally down the sides, the handles of your walker should be slightly above the level of the palm of your hands. Anyone tells you differently? Tell them they need to ask for a refund or ask if they missed the classes that explained how walkers work. They are to encourage an upright position, and provide a sense of spatial location to help with balance so that people can "WALK"... P.P.S. Oh and fellas? Those Dunlaps that can help encourage poor return circulation? can also inhibit the delivery. There is this thing called the "Inguinal Canal" which passes through the inguinal ligament near our groins (ladies too) that allows the major blood vessels to pass into and back from our lower extremities... Too much belly applies a restrictive pressure on those passages and can (very often is) cause "ED"... Those little blue pills? cause the blood vessels inside to close down to hold the blood inside. NOT the best way to deal with the problem...

  3. Me too! When they posted the picture earlier I joked it was a sit and spin exercise. I got the "Sit" part right with the Glutial muscles. But still think walking is more important as it also exercises the glutes AND the heart... Johnathon... 😇

  4. Hi Dee! I work with seniors a lot and often use Dr Ekberg's videos to help with best breathing exercises and "habits"... Here's a link to YouTube search that will list his specific videos on breathing. Dr Ekberg is an EXCELLENT educator and does a fantastic job. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=dr+sten+ekberg+breathing+exercises+
