It's Flex Friday! I'm not a "bodybuilder"...but I AM trying to build a better body for myself to continue this journey here on earth. Even if you don't go to a gym or have much fitness equipment at home, I found excellent sites on YouTube that offer BEGINNER/SENIOR exercises with both strength & cardio. My fave right now (besides Letty's Zoom Zumba classes💃) is a mother/daughter team from the Las Vegas area. The mom is 81 and the daughter is in her 50's(?). They have made a ton of different videos that are anywhere from 5 to 50 minutes long. I mix & match!

Even if you can just bring yourself to stand up at commercial time and walk slowly in place or around your house for just those few minutes...it's a start! I never dreamed I'd be able to exercise again after my psoriatic arthritis flared for over a year! Fear of pain kept me from even considering it. First step was wearing the FitBit & increasing my daily steps. That's ALL I could do!! So, please, don't let the fear keep you from exploring what your body can actually do...no matter how uncoordinated, stiff, awkward you may feel.

Anyone care to share just one thing extra you can do (or did) today to move your body? Blessings & success to you all!!💙
