Ladies of Hive Community Contest #306: Exercise is for Everyone! :)

QUESTION: Do you think there is a specific age for exercising, or can we work out at any stage of our lives? Do you currently exercise?

My cousin when he was around 6 or 7 years old

Exercise comes in various forms, be it working out, playing sports, or doing other activities that use our muscles in different ways and keep us fit. Because of that, I don't think there is a specific age for exercising. Everyone can exercise, but it depends on how much and what kind of exercise they do.

In the past, zumba was so popular in our area. Our city hall offered free zumba classes every Friday evening and weekend mornings. Everyone was welcome to join, so I sometimes went there with my father or my friends. It's so interesting because I could see people of various ages participating, from little kids to grandmas and grandpas. Everyone seemed to be enjoying the exercise, and I thought it was also a way for some of them to socialize.

In addition, depending on our physical condition, we can work out at any stage of our lives. However, we have to be careful in choosing the exercise or workout we do. For example, if someone has a knee problem, they may need to choose lower-impact activities that are appropriate for their condition.

There was a time in my life when I enrolled in a gym. I went there with my father and occasionally saw my high school friend. I did cardio and lifted weights back then. It was enjoyable. However, I stopped going when I went back to school and worked at the same time. My schedule was so effed up back then. hahah

Now, I no longer go to the gym, but I've been exercising. I go walking or jogging if I get the chance, but if not, I use the stationary bicycle at home. I do it for at least 30 minutes almost every day. I work from home, and my job requires me to sit for long hours, so I try to move my body during my short breaks.

Recently, I've been working the night shift because the electricity and internet conditions are better late at night, and to keep myself awake, I do stretching and burpees between my classes. I'm killing two birds with one stone: I can stay awake for class while keeping myself fit and healthy.

Thanks for reading, and see you around! Have a good one! ^^
