Yesterday was another hike in addition to my morning hour of exercise. And we got lost twice so it made for a longer hike (2.5 hours). But today was a rainy Sunday and, after accomplishing my morning exercise, I spent the day going down to Charlotte to visit my aunt Susan who is 35 days into stroke recovery.
My exercise today involved what I am calling mixed cardio -- some stationary bike, some stepping up and down, some reaching up and down -- and some housework. Yes, as long as I keep my heart rate up, I can vacuum and call it exercise. This is the important principle of integration; it can be exceedingly helpful and quite motivating to incorporate therapeutic movements into everyday activities. An example is doing a reach-down-and-up or two when I put my shoes on. Sweeping, vacuuming, scrubbing floors -- all are aerobic. Any other suggestions?
