Introduction: Get Physical!!!!
I retired at age 65 two years ago. I never thought we would be dealing with anything like Covid-19 this past year. I had been a grocery store cashier for over 34 years. I felt like my job was fairly physical and I was getting good exercise. These days my husband and I are staying at home most of the time and it's hard to get enough physical exercise, especially in the winter. Well, we solved that problem with my watch!
Step 1: My Watch Gives Me Goals!
My watch shows me how many steps I have walked in my day, how many miles and how many flights of steps I have done. I have 3 rings to close on my watch, a move ring, an exercise ring and a stand ring. Each ring has a goal for me to meet each day.
Step 2: Select Workout
First I select "Workout" on my watch.
Step 3: I Can Choose My Stepper
I am happy that I have several pieces of equipment that I can use to exercise. Here is my stepper and I can select it on my watch.
Step 4: My Exercise Bike
I can select my exercise bike. It gives me a great work out since it works my arms along with my legs.
Step 5: My Weights
It doesn't have a setting for weights so I use the "Yoga" setting. I have weights that attach to my wrists and ankles. I also have weights I can hold.
Step 6: Time My Exercise
I set my watch to time me while I do each exercise. My goal is to close all three of my rings on my watch every day. Most days I make it. If I don't make it, I try harder the next day!
Step 7: I Made My Goal!
Hooray! I closed all 3 of my rings!
Step 8: A Virtual Pat on the Back!
A little congratulations means a lot and gets me motivated to meet my goals the next day! I do this for me and for my health, and I feel better for it!!
