DO YOU NEED TO EXERCISE AFTER 50
How many of you saw the title, Do You Need To Exercise After 50, and thought about the word “need?” There is a big difference between need and want. I “need” to exercise, but I don’t “want” to exercise. As we age, our bodies are changing, and not necessarily in a good way. Our knees give us trouble, our backs ache, and don’t get me started about what jumping up and down does to my bladder. Lol!
I hate exercising, I am just not one of those people who like to sweat and hurt. Go figure! BUT, I really hate the flabby arms that wave at people, or those dimples that are anything but cute, on my legs and rear. So Sandy and I decided to start attending a “beginners” exercise class. One of our friend, the energizer bunny, is teaching the class. She is brutal!!! I would hate to see her advanced class.
The reason I mention this, is because I can barely type after tonight’s class. I am exhausted, sleepy, and just plain lazy. So, I am glad that I don’t have very much jewelry on, or a lot of clothing to have to link to. Haha The Merci t-shirt is one of my favorite graphic tees. It fits perfect, without being too tight. Because it is navy, I think it helps me to look thinner, and the color is good for my eyes. Here is where I wore it earlier this year. Which outfit do you like best?

I think this is the first time I have worn flip flops on the blog, in fact I am sure of it. This are a very comfortable pair by Sperry. I like that they have a lot of cushioning in the sole of the foot, unlike the plastic flip flops you see all the time.

If you have never seen it before, go under the heading at the top right of the blog, and type in the search box. It will being you to any previous post that talks about Vera. That works for anything, converse shoes, Dooney & Bourke purse, or even hair tutorial. My shorts are a light turquoise/sea foam green. They seem to be a mix of those colors. I like the length, I think they are 6″ inseam. It seems most of the shorts I have found this year are 4″ inseam, and Joe does not seem to be a fan of me wearing those to work. Do you really think those 2 inches are going to make a difference???

I hope you ladies have a wonderful Tuesday. Leave me some feedback. That is how I know what to talk about.
The comment section is at the end of the post, so keep scrolling. I look forward to reading all the comments, they make my day.

We can exercise “together” — just today I started back on my walking program.
Love your sense of color. Your blog has provided some real inspiration for my own closet!
LOVE this color combo…but I think I said that before. LOL My exercise is usually just walking our dog. I sometimes get all excited and sign up for zumba, yoga or jazzercise, then my schedule fills up and blah…I drop out. Currently I’m taking a water fitness class with dear friend, 4X a week! YIKES.
Zumba and walking and working in the yard do it for me. Could I do more…probably. But I like to shop too. That’s working out too, right?
I love your blog! Great style tips! Can’t wait for the next post!
Hi Tania. Tried to post Here last night but after I typed and hit submit, it said my message was not secure so I cancelled it. I’ll try again. Anyway the jist of it was way to go on the exercise. I am trying to walk after dinner – I think exercise is the missing piece for me. We have to do what we can, right? And not be too hard on ourselves. You were asking for ideas – as I mentioned, on a rainy day, I would love to see some ideas for what to wear. Thanks again!
