I need to stand more

Jomarie your granny sounds just like me, I used to watch Eileen Fowler (she was still around not so long ago) and do what your granny did for a few minutes (seconds?) then that was enough! It takes an awful lot of dedication I think to do exercises at home on your own, and even more to get myself up and out in order to go to classes.

To answer your question Ana I think it is just habit that I sit down to do things. I will make a concerted effort to raise my rear and stand up.

J52 the name "Eileen Fowler" springs to mind - I don't know why - I remember my granny doing arm exercises in the kitchen - stretch up twice, stretch out to the sides twice and then she said "that's enough exercise for today". She was a card my granny. Still miss her.

Doing housework IS keeping fit!

I suppose by standing you move more and burn more calories.

Who was the woman, in the 50s, who advocated keep fit while doing the housework?

All this exercise business and weight lose is a con, IMO - I walk the dog for about 2hrs a day and don't lose an oz - that only happens when I restrict my intake, and that is with huge difficulty. tut tut

Stand more? I stand at work for three hours, stand to do ironing, stand to prepare meals, bake etc. How come I'm not getting slim then? Quite the reverse in my case. I must be standing wrong!!

I'm up and down like a fiddlers elbow so my OH tells me so I'll ok then
Just do it NanKate

So what's stopping you...?
