Sometimes workload gets in the way, but I try to walk at lunch every day for at least 45 minutes to an hour. Also, I work in outdoor events, and nine to ten times a year, I'm working very long hours outdoors for a week at a time.
My wife and I used to go to a gym within walking distance of our house, but with the COVID shutdown, we started doing yoga on YouTube. We sold our coffee table to make more room in the middle of the living room, and even in a small condo we can roll out our mats. There are several online options, and we are currently watching the "Yoga with Adrienne" series.
We also have a long-distance walking routine that we follow on Sundays when we're not otherwise engaged taking care of either of our elderly moms. Still, we both feel like we need more. My wife was down for most of 2020 with a long-term medical recovery, and much of my travel schedule was cancelled, along with my lengthy COVID recovery. We both feel the effects, and know that being inactive for a very long time set our strength and endurance back. We're trying to build back in both of those areas, but it's a long, tedious process, and with both of us in our early 50s, not as easy as it was when we were younger.
