I’ve had the help of the nurses at my health center to start moving me. After years of sitting idle, I’ve now been given an explanation for my passivity and we’ve agreed to a schedule of four times a week: guided water gymnastics and strength training, dance and swimming myself. It works! And thanks to the medicine, I’m more resilient and clear-headed than I’ve been in a long time. But when I read your article, Erika, I realize that I need to get up in more workout time, and that it’s my own responsibility to do it. Do you have any tips for a 60-year-old with poor balance and low self-esteem who’s in the country far from organized training?

I think four times a week sounds great! It’s more than most healthy exercises. What’s also great is that it’s all-around exercise. But most of all, you think it works for you.

If you want to get up in more exercise, I would recommend that you take those days when you don’t have “organized” exercise that you take a walk, preferably a little warm so you get a little warm, and with advantage in forests and soils, where the underlying is a little more varied.
