I am a DPT and have treated geriatrics for close to 40 years. In general physical work is healthier than gym workouts. The problem is doing physical work continuously and not skipping days is harder to do than getting into a habit of a routine gym workout.longtooth wrote: ↑Tue Dec 17, 2019 9:46 am I hate the "Proper Exercise." Don't mind walking to the kids house, Neighbors for a visit, (one is just over 1/2 mile) walking anywhere that needs to be.
I hate walking just to walk. Treadmill, track, don't matter.
Don't care for lifting weights.
Don't mind at all hard work. Dragging brush, building something, (son and I had a great time building shed for my tractor last August) road work on the tractor, cutting bushes,
I take it like medicine.
Diet is so important and cannot be overstated. I think the video "Forks Over Knives" is thought provoking. You can find it on Netflix or YouTube.
