Afternoon to you all on this lovely sunny autum day.

As per usual the OA is hitting hard today. But determined to make the most of the day & keep active as much as possible.

So,who wants to join me & attempt to do 2 dozen star jumps then!? πŸ‘ πŸ˜ƒ

Hi Ruthytootie2, I'll join you in starjumps after I have a new hip, next month! I agree with you we have to make the most of every day and not let our joints disintegrate altogether!! Every evening, in my mind, I think of three things that have made me smile or have made me feel blessed during the day. My mantra is that there is always someone worse off than me. My computer really helps me keep in touch with everything - thank goodness for progress!! Best wishes to you. Yes , it's a lovely day!

Every bit of exercise helps, no matter how small.

No starjumps today, instead I'm going to attempt to do the Conga dance around my home, all by myself..... with a cup of tea in one hand & a cheeky piece of cake in the other.......sounds a bit tricky that!! πŸ’ƒπŸ’ƒπŸ’ƒ

Have a good day

Hi exercise is a must for someone with arthritis. I try to go out every day for a walk. I have just finished a PR course. Due to having COPD that includes exercise it was twice a week for 6 weeks. And I am being referred for a follow up course at my local gym. Don't think I would beable to do the star jumps.

Might just do that. I am always looking for things to get me out of the house. Might look to see if there is anything like that in my area.

I can't do the star jumps...but I can do half a star without the jumps..would that be okay? LOL

Sounds good enough to me, keep up the good work πŸ‘

I'm worn out after doing star jumps & I've been stuck doing the conga for the past few days, plus started doing the conga with the kids at the school where I work! πŸ˜ƒ
