Yes, I have a bad back and quite a bit of arthritis. The exercise is helping - at least for me. I think that strengthening the muscles takes pressure off of the joints. My doctor told me that losing weight also takes pressure off of the joints, and I think he was right. I still need to lose more weight, but I'm getting there a little bit at a time. We haven't been doing this on the principle of "no pain, no gain". Instead, if it hurts, we'll slow down or adjust things. The overall result is that we're feeling better a little bit at a time. I'm convinced that many people stop their exercise program because they try to do too much - and it hurts. A good example would be using lower weights and doing more repetitions. I also like it that the machines won't let you do the exercise wrong and hurt yourself. So, I think that the best advice is to start slowly and build up slowly. Planet Fitness has two mottos that they practice: 1 - no judgment, 2 - no criticism. This I think establishes an environment where all people, regardless of fitness level, feel welcome to workout at their own pace.![]()
It has been up and down here.....one day you need shorts and the next you need jeans and a sweatshirtYour winter was very cold compared to mine...boy, we have the windows open here a lot allready...and I have changed my clothes a bit...way lighter stuff for hot days.
How much does this cost you?
$10 per month for each of us, and Planet Fitness is open 24/7. We consider it a bargain.

Hi MarshaIt sounds like you have a nice day planned, Gail. I missed our cookout today, at friends from church, because I got no sleep last night. I also have a slight cold virus going on. It looks like they have a great day outside for it. It actually felt good to lounge around today. It will be an alright day, as long as my girl shows up soon to help me get cleaned up and going. Rarely do I allow myself to be this slow to start.
They are really good
My son goes there; he is 32 ...with cerebral palsy affecting just his legs.
They have been wonderful in establishing a workout for him, so you are in good hands![]()
I may look into some of our local gyms and see what they do for seniors...
might find out something good.
Walking around here is very hard on my knees...lots of up hill stuff.
