ONLINE excercise--a possibility for you?

Well, not exactly what you might think.  Elderexercise, is an idea that Claude of Blogging in Paris  and I are trying out with a small group.  Some of us need a little more than good intentions to exercise on a regular basis.

It's simple enough.  On a closed blog, each participant identifies goals--lose five pounds within the next couple of months or  use a pedometer to keep track of walking.

Then we post periodically about our efforts.  It's a challenge as we try to change longtime habits of inertia.  Each of us sends a comment of support to others whenever we take steps, no matter how modest.

No advice ("Have you thought about going totally meatless?").  We offer encouragement to one another when we move along, commiserate when we do not ("Don't be too hard on yourself!").

It's working for me.  Interested?  Visit http://elderexercise.wordpress.com and
send a message with your questions.

Great idea. I'm doing this w/ real friends but the virtual effort could work, too, I bet. Go, girls!

One word: YOGA.

Something to think about! I don't need to lose weight but I do need to build some strength and tighten some muscles. I've got one of those stretchy cord thingies and handweights collecting dust. Think I should join the 'fun'?
