My case manager told me to start being more active. Then my primary did too. I started out walking at one of the local malls....early morning before the stores open...me and the little older ladies lol. Then my mom signed us up for a gym membership. We were trying to support each other by working out together. Well she works Mon-Fri daytime hours. I do not work. So we'd go when she finished from work ard 5:45 pm. The gym would be hot and packed with ppl. I could barely stay long. I suffered through this for a while. Then I jst told her I was going to start working out in the early mornings. Now I drop my daughter off at school and I'm at the gym by 8 am. There are usually like 1-5 ppl there on the fitness floor...it varies by the day. How long you workout should depend on what ur up for that day. Some days I'm up for 45 mins, 60 mins or 90. Sometimes I walk my dog 15 mins three times a day. Other days I might walk her for 30 mins. We live in apartments so I have to walk her.
