DH and I walk a lot but do little other exercise. I have poor joints. Both of us have asthma and little stamina for energetic exercise. I just wondered what others do to keep fit and if you have any suggestions for us couch potatoes.

Walking or light jogging is what I would recommend. As these exercise are incredibly beneficial for your health and helps you to keep fit. Also, recently, I read in a magazine that by walking for 30 minutes daily can increase your lifespan by an average of 6 years.

my advice is simple, swimming, swimming, swimming - and walking - and if you can Gi-gung or Tai-chi.

cycling for me to include a few gentle hills, enough for me to get slightly puffed and to perspire. That plus working on the allotment, good for the muscles. Tai chi if I could find a good group

I want to find a pilates class, loved it in the past and I have a super rebounder, packed right now because of imminent house move. I hated swimming, too flipping wet
