(3,817 posts)Maybe, maybe I can return the favor. Part of what my walking routine is now, is working with an electrical muscle stimulater. This is contraindicated with a pacemaker. Sorry but this appears so far to be very effective way to wake up older and unused or neurologically damaged muscle. I will go into this more later. This is a new thing in my repertoire and in my view overshadowed by other techniques I use.

(34,334 posts)I have a 1/10 mile track on my property that I try to walk or slow jog 4 or 5 days a week. I average about 6,000 steps a day. 75 years old and it's just what I do. Others have their own routine. What ever you do is great. I have a pacemaker and 3 different Cardiologist have all told me the same thing...KEEP MOVING. I never sit longer than 30 minutes without getting up and moving.
On the other hand, I could get run over by a school bus tomorrow.

(3,817 posts)and almost never sat down, even as she aged. I know you are on to something. Also when you do sit, I don't use the arms to launch myself out of the chair. This is good for the quads, glutes and the core among other muscles I am sure. When one starts this for a time you need to put your hands forward and gradually move your hands in toward your chest. I cross mine on my chest. It is something we all do daily multiple times and should be using to our advantage.
IMO
Damned lazyboys.
