Good Morning, I have struggled with hibernating during the cold weather. The way I have been dealing with this is to go walk around the mall or the grocery store. I normally enjoy walking outside but its been so cold. 👍🏻☕️🌹 I wish you and everyone here a beautiful day. 💕🎶🌟 🎉
You are such a lovely person, so real and kind. I love every one of your videos. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Not a gym person either, but I do love your yoga videos. Also "Walk At Home" with Leslie Sanson. They are both wonderful for this 69 year old when the weather doesn't co-operate for outside walking. Currently minus 4 with a wind-chill of minus 14 C. Enjoy your day ladies. From Nova Scotia, Canada.
I made a list of indoor, outdoor, and meals I like for our below zero temps here. At one time, I was confined to chair exercise. Amazingly, consistent determination of doing PT on my own along with walking and weights, I'm healing every day. For me, too, now that I have the proper clothing (some great thrift treasures and a good pair of new boots) Even in the freezing weather, I try to walk at night once a week to see the beautiful night sky and feel the peacefulness surround me. ❄️❄️❄️ thank you for these ideas and reminders.
Thank You Margaret for your your words of encouragement about exercising I needed to hear that!
I agree about the helping someone, it makes me feel good all day.
I like your make up
😊 Good morning, I do stretches and it is so relaxing and walking, 😘 love your beautiful top and necklace.
I have exercise bike, but believe me I don't get on it everyday. I do go out in the snow to lightly shovel. So I guess I'm not totally hibernate.
I do have dumbbells. Thank you Margaret for this topic, it helps.
I have found that wearing a fitness watch is so beneficial for me. It tracks my steps/miles, heart rates, sleep patterns, breathing rate at night, oxygen in my blood, stress levels and it reminds me to get up and move if I've become lost in a book. You can pick them up for reasonable costs now, too. I'm not a gym person either.
I want to get a fitness watch that provides all the data. What fitness watch do you have?
@@jeannie3068 I replied to you, but I'm not sure where it went! My fitness watch is no longer available, but it is an A M A Z F I T. (I spelled it like that in case my comment got deleted for naming a product) If you go on their website, you will see many different price ranges and styles. Good luck!
Their website = a m a z o n
Im 64 this month. I clean houses. I have a resell booth. I work hard. Stairs. Carrying heavy lds laundry. Bending stooping. Many steps per day. I shop/ source for resell items. I travel 30 to 50 mi once a wk to shop. Usually treat myself to morning coffee and a nice lunch. Sounds like pure fun but I'm working while enjoying it. I have put on weight. I eat right. Im active. But i know i could do better. Trying to be content w life. I do have alot of fun in my work life. Usually experience SAD. Been ok so far. Hoping february is a big whammie. Fingers crossed!
Hi Margaret, I belong to a gym, but have been inside because of icy/snowy weather conditions here in NH. I did manage to walk about 2 1/2 miles using the stairs, hallways and the underground garage where I live. I went back to the gym today. It's freezing out. During the pandemic I bought some basic exercise equipment: bands, dumb bells, a ball etc. Just went back to a gym after 3 1/2 years of working out at home. Take care and stay warm everyone!
Guess what ? It’s been cold and icy here in Alabama for a week!!! I got out my summer clothes and got them ready for warm weather. Ironing , put a button on. Also I cut the sleeves off a denim jacket ,now it’s a vest. It looked so good I did 2 more. Now I can wear long sleeve blouses with those. Proud of my work today.
I got a trampoline! I bounce, not jump, just bounce. I’m working my way to a real workout.
Love your videos , Thank you.
Love your creativity
I walk 5 days a week, between 1.5 - 2 miles. I want to increase to 2- 2.5 miles this year. Occasionally I do very light movements with 3 lb dumbbells for my upper body.
Work part-time. For me substitute teaching. I love the mental engagement with high schoolers.
I don’t know where I would be without my electric throw and electric under blanket on my bed. Thankfully I do get out for a walk as I have two little dogs but both are older now and don’t like the cold or wet either so not walking so far as we used to! Stay well everyone. 💕
I get steps in by doing “loops” around my living room, dining room and kitchen, lift free weights, and do squats, push ups, etc. inside when it’s too cold to go out. Dancing is a great way to exercise. It takes little space, is fun, and gets your heart rate up.
Hi Margaret, I wanted to share the experience of my kayaking group. We started on a local sailing lake in the summer but we've carried on through winter. I'm 62 but my friend who started the group is 77. She suffers from arthritis in her hips and knees so walking is too painful but as soon as she's in a kayak she can outstrip us all😅. If you can exercise with friends it's the best motivation ever 😊
Thanks for sharing!
I finally bought the right coat to go off in the cold. I went to Land's End clearance coats and for about half I got a great coat you years! Also wool socks make such a wonderful addition!
When we get a nice soft snow in my part of Canada I love shovelling my driveway. Really nice if the sun is shining.
So grateful I live in California and have a dog that needs walking 3x a day. I’m very disciplined (patting myself on the back here 😂) when it comes to exercise and do yoga and Pilates stretches every day and use weights 3x a week. I don’t like gyms either unless they’re for women only. Used to love Curves and went there until they went out of business 😞 Thanks for all your suggestions to keep us moving!
I walk daily, weights every 2nd day and yoga most days. I think it helps us a lot.
Great ideas! Although cardio is more my jam, strength training is sooo important as we get older! So many You Tube videos here to find to do that. Volunteering is so good too!
It’s 15 degrees out, and hot flashing, so got my snow shovel and cleared the driveway and walk, no coat, just a sweater, gloves and hat. I figure it counts as exercise.
I love the Vivaia boots you talked about. So comfortable and stylish. I get compliments every time I wear them,
Hi Margaret! Love your videos. I am 70 years young. I go onto UA-cam and then go onto walking videos with Leslie Sansone!! They are fantastic! I can do 1 mile or 3, or even 5 miles. Try them out!!!! They are wonderful, and you don't have to worry about falling on the ice during the winter months
Love Lesley Sansone . There are some really wonderful online exercise programs!
Maybe your audience has heard of "Swedish Death Cleaning" which sounds grim, but isn't. It's about getting rid of the clutter that we've accumulated in our 60+ years that we aren't using now, our kids and grandkids probably don't want, and we definitely can't take with us when we go. (I don't know if there's an afterlife, but if there is, I doubt they need more coffee mugs.) When I eventually pass, which I hope is a very long time from now, I certainly don't want my kids and grandkids having to sort through mountains of stuff. So that's the "death" part in Swedish Death Cleaning.
But the sifting, sorting, and packing up for donation or sale gets you moving (but be careful not to hurt yourself lifting). I spent an hour in the kitchen today clearing a grand total of one shelf. But's an hour more moving than I did yesterday. Plus it got rid of the chili oil that expired in June of 2021.
It is very powerful model that I think is so useful as we get older. Thank you for sharing.
Safety . Grippers for shoes/boots are great. Mittens are great hand warmers. Wool caps and neck warmers.
Have a basket holder near one's door for winter accessories. Less chance of misplacing them. Snow pants and jacket. Protein bars in coat/jacket packets.
Winter time is beautiful in its own way.
Snow & ice here in the Pacific Northwest, USA. Ice coating the outdoors ,looks like diamonds all around. Boot Grippers prevent falling while walking family pet 🐕 outdoors.
Fresh air is so refreshing .
One exercising program a hit for me is an essentric stretch. It is keeping my body more flexible and lowers seasonal depression.
Stay safe sisters around the world. ❤❄️ 🦮
Hello Margaret, I find I'm more active in the winter. Being in Australia the winter is a lot milder and the summers can be very hot. The coming days in the high 30s Celsius. I love being active walking, yoga, weights and indoor walking. Everyone stay safe in the northern hemisphere
I walk around the block and I have a treadmill and I use light weight and I LOVE THEM!! PLEASE consider using them! It's a great stretch and it builds muscle! I do it watching TV for 5 or 10 mins. I highly recommend it! You can start with 2 pounds and I use 5 or 6 pound weights now. Really enjoyable and great for health! Also, you can do them sitting down. Best thing ever!! Thank you Margaret!♥️
I use zoom to exercise with a group. Occasional meetups in person. From Dec to March I am mentally traumatized by cold and darkness. I also take vitamin D3.
I’ve been to Iceland and Sweden in the winter. In Germany and Scandinavia it’s said that there’s no such thing as bad weather only the wrong clothing. I wore thermal underwear and layer your clothes, touque that covers your ears, gloves, spikes on my shoes (which I didn’t have on last year & slipped breaking my ankle, foot and knee) and off I go.
Great suggestions on how to stay in shape in the winter months. I'll try exercising at home in front of the mirror. Sounds like a good idea. I'm so glad I found your channel. I love your videos.
Have a wonderful day!❤
In Australia we are challenged by the extreme heat. It’s too hot to leave the air conditioning. People are dying from extreme heat conditions.
Thanks for the great ideas Margaret! I would like to do some yoga and exercises to stay strong! Tha problem is making the time to do it! I cross country ski in the winter which I really enjoy!
Yes exercise so important in the winter months also. When the winter is not cold for walking out doors I do online Pilates or chair yoga. I'm 81 so I don't do the floor yoga any longer..I love your inspirational videos.❤
Thanks for sharing!!
At 72, for winter exercise indoors I've been using a very uplifting Nutrisystem Silverwalk video on dvd that Ive had for many years. It also includes a floor workout for abs, legs and back and all geared to seniors. I love to work in my garden and yard in summer for exercise!
Thanks for sharing!
Helping someone is the Best too! Feels soooo great!!
A little bit of red looks really nice on you!
Margaret, you are looking great today! Your hair is very attractive and outfit great colors! Thanks for your encouragement ❤
Thanks so much
Rebounder and head phones
Hello Margaret, you are just too cute! I love your encouragement for everyone. You had me laughing watching this. Any Who! Love it!! 🩷
Hi I follow you from Gold Coast Australia. I like your approach to life in general. We never have snow here but I think shoveling snow could be one activity that I would enjoy 😊 Greetings 🇦🇺
I would love to know where to find your yoga videos?
Also we have had a major unexpected snow storm and have Ben stuck inside. So please let me know where I can find your yoga videos.
Hi Karen. All the yoga videos are now on our UA-cam channel. So just go to UA-cam and type in 16 in May and you will find the playlist of yoga videos.
I put a bit of gentle perfume!(lavender)
You have motivated me Margret- going to do my walking video today👟
You got this!
I do not like to exercise. I never have. I live in southern Texas. Summer heat is brutal. And winters are wet and dreary. I belong to a gym with an indoor pool. I have a friend who meets me there a few days a week. When she can’t go, neither do I.
Having a gym buddy works for me!
Thanks for sharing!!
Great advice. Thank you Margaret ❤
You are so welcome!
Hello Margaret I have been alot indoors because of the weather but I was doing yoga at home very gentle yoga but now i am with a piccline in my arm told to be careful with the arm I should walk but I keep falling asleep on morphine ohhhh my goodness I will definitely think about walking more thank you for your encouragement I needed this as I have been a lazy bones ❤
Hello
Very good video!
Can you do a what I eat video? Thanks ❤
It’s an interesting idea. But it would be very very boring. I’m a creature of habit and eat. Almost the same thing every day with a little variation, of course :-) not sure it would make a very interesting video though.
I try to go out as much as possible. It's not really the weather that deters me so much as it is just a sensory overload. I prefer the quietness and serenity of being home. Crossing the streets these days is a feat in it of itself. I'm pretty swift but imagine those that aren't, divers just do not want to follow the rules of the road and a lot of them are under some form of intoxication because the government wants to legalize as many substances as possible. I have an app called Citizen and most reports are car incidents, it's scary.
Basically that's why I prefer to stay home or try to go out super early in the morning so I can come home to decompress from all the dense energies of the day. This three dimensional Planet is a tough on the human body, that's why our life span at best is 85 years.
