Steps yesterday: 826 (SmartHealth watch); 1,316
BPM: 92
Blood oxygen level: 99%
I can't say I'm enjoying my stepper sessions, but I am settling in with my second week and they don't seem as onerous. I wonder how long it will be until I see results.
Added CoQ 10 and glucosamine chondroitin to my supplements. I hope the glucosamine helps with the arthritis. Now that I have run out of Manitoba hemp hearts, I will use chia seeds in my protein shakes.
Set up a surge protector to serve as a charging station for all my devices rather than plugging them into unprotected outlets. One nice thing about the Withings Pulse: it only takes about a half hour to charge to full.
Relaxation: half hour nap. I'm not tracking sleep these days because I have been doing pretty well on that front.

Exercise will also help the arthritis. My Ortho recommended strength training at least twice a week and walking, no running or high impact for me with my knee and ankles.

That's what I like about the air walk trainer - low impact.

I want to get back to strength training because I've been getting weaker. I couldn't decide which routine to adopt. I just got the Harvard Medical report on strength training. I will go with that rather than continuing to dither. Before that, gentle core exercises, another Harvard program. Cardio isn't enough to reverse sarcopenia.

"Younger Next Year" has some good info. on the benefits of strength training. Studies have shown than even people in old age, 80's / 90's show marked benefit from it. I'm on the lookout for a good deal on a weight bench and some free weights. Hope it works out well for you.

Good to hear, jmb. Thanks for the tip. I have the book. I was doing 40 minutes with dumbbells three times a week back in the summer, but my hernia got worse and that threw me off track. That, another laziness. Even 20 minutes twice a week is better than nothing.

That, and laziness. Autocorrect strikes again.
