N o t h i n g With awful depression and annoying anxiety I feel no motivation .
@Neeme2020
Hello Neeme2020, sorry to hear it's a difficult moment for you.
@BeyondTheInvisible yes dear it surely is. This COVID pandemic is not helping with the already underlying mental health issues I struggle with.
@Neeme2020
Hi Neeme2020, unfortunately Covid makes everything more difficult in many life's aspects and areas.
Hope you can have any daily good moment doing things you like .
@BeyondTheInvisible thank you for your kind thought
@Neeme2020
You are welcome 
I go on walks on trails with my girlfriend. We usually walk 3 to 5 miles. We go twice a week.
@Offmytrack
Hello!
Wow that sounds like to be a great routine to experience with a loved one!
@Offmytrack that sounds like a great way to share exercise with someone else.
@soulsings
We always have a very good time. The weather is good, the scenery is good.
@Offmytrack yes really nice.
Went for a walk around the neighborhood. Better not getting ticks in the woods. Nice to see what the neighbors are doing. lol
With the covid pandemic and now the second phase lock down. What can one do to keep oneself healthy?
@Neeme2020 I have limited and eliminated most junk food. I try to eat natural as much as possible, exercise often, do things like mindfulness to keep me from getting lost in worries. Here are discussions on mindfulness and other relevant topics. https://www.7cups.com/forum/50OverCommunity_193/TeamToolsandTeamUpdates_1705/50plusDiscussionsScheduleandTopics_207920/
Walking to my kitchen from my bed and walking back :)
@Chelonii
Hello!
You don't like to go outside for walks?
@LoveMyRotty
Hey!! I love outdoor walks but I am naturally lazy and it's really cold outside.
@Chelonii
Hi Chelonii! How are you?
Yep, here it's cold too!
I also have to wear the wool hat, scarf, gloves and the mask, it's not so handy but worth it!
@LoveMyRotty
Oh, does it snow where you are??
The weather in my place is very unpredictable. There was one time where it went from 30degree heat to 10.
@Chelonii
I can totally relate. Have you tried thermo underwear? I don't like cool or cold weather neither. When I lived in a cold country I always wore thermo underwear, that helped and hey it was great coming in from the cold and drinking a hot cup of chocolate 
@amiablePeace77
I've actually never heard of that. That's so cool!! I would definitely try to find one for winter.
Oh yes, drinking hot chocolate after coming in from the cold is the best. Especially wrapping myself with a hot blanket in front of the tv.
Boy, I can relate. It had been so hard to get outside since fall. But once I put barnboots, warm hat on- mucho better.
@barncat
Fall is usually a mixture of summer and winter where I am. I always need to carry a heavy jacket around :(
@Chelonii I practically live in winter gear during the winter lol!
@soulsings
Oh dear, are the clothing heavy? And does it snow where you are??
@Chelonii well I have down filled and poly filled coats. I am ready for cold weather. Tonight we are getting 3 inches or 7CM depending on which ruler you use lol.
@soulsings
7CM??? Oof, it's kind of both a bad and good thing. You can make snow angels but then roads would be filled with snow. Do you have to have your heater on the whole day then?
@Chelonii heaters on until it starts to warm up in a month or two.
@soulsings
The whole time???!! I cannot imagine. During winter at my place, heaters make the rooms so comfy but I get warm so easily and it just feels weird.
@Chelonii a lot depends on the temperature outside. The colder it is outside the more the heaters run.
@soulsings
Are your heaters automatic then? The ones at mine switch off when the room reaches a certain temp. The hot air blowing from the top also gives me a headache too. Do you use an electric blanket though?
@Chelonii the heaters have shut offs when they reach a certain temperature.
Electric blankets tend to get too hot for me. I like a blanket, an afghan, and a top.
@soulsings
Oh yeah, I reckon that'll be quite warm.
Electric blankets temperature can be controlled, can't they?
@Chelonii not sure. I am not certain I like the idea of electric wires surrounding my body.
@soulsings
Hahaha, if you think of it like that. That is surely terrifying!! You could this thing where you put the electric blanket on top of your other blanket?
My physical program is simple- horse chores. Feeding,, blanketing, moving them from one part of the pasture to the barn, grooming. Oh, and some days I even get to ride them.
@ScoreKing wow sounds like a nice way to get exercise.
I read
@endearingLion70- i got my exercise with your post- big belly laugh!
I love dancing and subscribe to quite a few dance fitness channels on YouTube to follow along with their workouts. Mostly ballet and Nia. Also just started with ballroom workouts, which are fun.
@seeker406 that sounds like a lot of fun and nice exercise
Iam 51 I love walking 2km per day to keep for fitness. I am also sensitive on what I feed my body with. If it were not for spine problem I would have time for gym to manage weight.
@Peterlydia82 glad you are finding ways to stay fit within the challenges you face.
I have been doing gentle yoga and stretching for several years, and my back has responded well to that gentle approach. I tried weights but it made for stiffness and more tension.
Adrienne at youtube is one of my favorite free yoga teachers. I do the 20 minute complete beginner yoga.
Thanks @ soulsings for the assistance. I feel encouraged to see iam not suffering alone. I will check on that yoga class it may assist me. Thanks.
@soulsings
I will also look into this yoga. I have serious spine ussues also. Thanks so much.
Great job!
