I've been/am an avid gym goer since 2003. I hardly miss a week but over the years I've started to enjoy other activities beyond strength training. In 2025 I ran a half marathon. I started messing around playing golf 🏌️‍♀️ and recently I've started swimming each day. I'm no Michael Phelps and it's all breast stroke but I'm loving it and it's making feel alive. Today I took a break from gym and did a few laps of the pool instead. Any purposeful movement is exercise. What are some of your favourite forms of activity each day?

Morning walks are low hanging fruit, for getting movement in. I have three little dogs and they need constant walking, so my mornings are guaranteed to have some activity. If you can find little "movement snacks" (bite sized pieces of exercise) like these throughout the day, they quickly add up to a reasonable amount of activity, without even noticing. Just start where you are and do what you can!!
