I am 70 years old and not in love with exercise, but...I started walking in June. I have kept at it and continue to increase my speed and distance. I started out being able to do about ten minutes at a time. Now I can walk for over an hour at a respectable pace. I can climb around on the rocky hill behind our house. Maybe a month ago, I started doing the strength training exercises recommended for seniors by the CDC. I am awkward and uncoordinated, but I keep doing it.
Last night, I lay down in bed and felt a lump on the side of my hip.
. I thought I had some weird injury or a tumor, but no, it was - ta da - a
muscle!
