0:16
we're going to get moving yeah summer's
0:19
coming spring has sprung i mean
0:21
everything is changing everything is
0:23
changing we're going to talk about get
0:25
getting moving but first
0:28
okay just already started i'm like in
0:31
the vein of what we're talking about and
0:33
movement and exercise and living our
0:34
lives i'm having a smoothie which a
0:37
green
0:38
it's berries and banana and kale and
0:40
spinach and celery and apple and it's
0:45
no i'd rather i'd rather chew my energy
0:48
so you drink i'll chew
0:51
i'm sorry you know what i know a lot of
0:53
people love these things i do i know i i
0:56
can't even i'm sorry i can't even look
0:58
at it i will tell you i'm
1:00
i do i tend to find myself kind of drawn
1:02
to ayurvedic
1:04
eating and in the wind and if you really
1:06
listen to your body in the seasons of it
1:08
you don't like smoothies really in the
1:10
winter really because of the cold
1:12
so now it's spring and summer coming i'm
1:15
i'm back to enjoying them and they
1:17
really get my day started it's just it's
1:20
very helpful like i would assume when
1:21
you want to really get moving it's i
1:23
have a taste thing and a chew thing and
1:25
like i look at that and whoa
1:28
dana's like that and it drives me crazy
1:30
because i don't find
1:31
the proper nutrition from them and and
1:33
then it's more it is like a sweet treat
1:36
right so then i i want more right i
1:39
still want to right now
1:40
and it's it just it never works yeah
1:43
it's a little bit of an issue right so
1:45
you know we're talking about getting out
1:48
getting moving
1:50
and so let's let's first really talk
1:52
about what this really means right we're
1:55
discussing like not just uh you know
1:58
going out and just uh let's take one
2:00
walk we're talking about really getting
2:02
out there and starting to exercise and
2:04
and move and live well and and
2:06
i think of it as how it's changed and as
2:11
i'm aging
2:12
and feeling more physically i don't want
2:14
to say physically challenged but i worry
2:16
about things i used to ski
2:18
and the last time i went i remember
2:21
thinking like i'm i'm hearing
2:23
snowboarders behind me i'm like oh god
2:24
please don't hurt me
2:25
because i had a dear friend who got her
2:28
leg broken and healing at our age is
2:31
regardless of how and what kind of shape
2:33
you're in right takes you know it's
2:35
different so
2:36
i think working out and moving looks
2:39
very different than it did even five
2:41
years ago it that's so true i mean
2:44
i i am a walker
2:47
i like to walk but even my walking these
2:49
days is different than my walking back
2:52
and back in the day right i mean i i i
2:55
still do by three miles i'm very proud
2:56
of it i do three miles almost every
2:58
single day
2:59
but a little bit slower
3:01
but you're walking i am walking that's
3:03
what that's what i like to do what do
3:04
you do i walk i do yoga um religiously
3:08
and that keeps me and i actually
3:11
i see in my body the change if i miss
3:14
right because i'm stretching and just
3:17
keeping
3:18
we need to keep our our muscles engaged
3:20
and and active and then yoga for me is
3:23
is a mind game for me too it just
3:26
it calms me and it centers me in in ways
3:29
that even walking doesn't it's sort of
3:31
like meditation right because you get
3:32
into a meditative meditation now i
3:34
started recently doing something called
3:36
the mirror i don't know if you guys out
3:37
there have ever heard this it's this
3:39
thing that you stick on your wall i've
3:41
seen it and i'm really curious
3:43
it's really it's really cool i mean it's
3:45
got everything from
3:47
uh live events meaning if you want to
3:49
join a live class and have the teacher
3:51
there everyone's on camera and you can
3:52
see everybody's face which may not be a
3:54
good thing i don't know it depends on
3:56
how comfortable you are in front of the
3:57
camera you have to do that no you do not
3:59
have to do that you so the other way you
4:00
can do it is take recorded classes and
4:02
you can go in and just do like a pilates
4:05
class or a kickboxing class or it's just
4:07
you and it's just me in the mirror or
4:09
they even have this cool thing and my
4:11
husband's doing this and he has a
4:13
trainer and they come in
4:15
you're looking at them they're looking
4:16
at you it's just it's not like virtual
4:18
reality no it's not it's an actual
4:20
person who can see you and i have a
4:22
story to tell about that the reason why
4:23
we even got them here is my dad had the
4:25
mirror
4:26
and um my dad's 88 god bless him i love
4:29
him dearly and he's he stays in shape
4:31
and he was doing the mirror and about a
4:33
year and a half ago
4:34
he's doing the mirror with his trainer
4:36
stretching and the trainer said dave you
4:38
don't look very good how are you feeling
4:41
now think about this literally this is
4:43
technology somebody's sitting wherever
4:45
they are sitting right doing their
4:47
training and they're looking at my dad
4:48
telling me he doesn't look good well
4:49
guess what he had a massive heart attack
4:51
a massive heart attack
4:53
so i love the fact that we can have this
4:56
um the technology can help us in this
4:58
way i should help or should help us in
5:01
this way so i think it's a cool thing i
5:03
know there's the peloton and all that
5:05
well i was thinking of that when you
5:06
said that right the
5:08
biggs trainer was was not looking at
5:10
what he was doing because he had a heart
5:12
attack and it didn't do so well for him
5:13
not at all not at all but i think the
5:16
point is there's so many cool things out
5:17
there right now uh that you can do so if
5:20
you're not a walker maybe you want to do
5:22
pilates right well you know something
5:24
that just i just thought of when you're
5:26
talking about meditation i think of
5:27
meditating when i walk
5:29
and you know we tend to think of
5:31
meditation as sitting in a room with
5:33
candles and crystals and
5:34
that's it it's wherever you are and
5:37
wherever you can be present and when i
5:39
take one of the dogs
5:41
typically grazia my shepherd and we will
5:43
go on long long walks and it's just her
5:46
and i and
5:48
i don't put the music on i just tune it
5:50
all out in his own two of us are in the
5:52
in our desert and it's that's meditative
5:55
and it's really beautiful and all of a
5:57
sudden i've walked you know five miles
5:59
and you don't even know it
6:00
and i i don't walk with my dog i've
6:02
walked with my dog since you've been
6:04
here but i generally don't walk my dog
6:06
because i tend to have two and they tend
6:07
to pull me in two different directions
6:09
and all that i walk with a girlfriend
6:11
and we talk the entire time
6:13
which also yeah
6:15
it should be fun and i'm a firm believer
6:18
and i like i do go to the weight i do go
6:20
to train i do weight training i've never
6:23
liked it right i so it's i have to force
6:25
myself to do it i like i i think that as
6:28
long as you really enjoy and whatever
6:31
that is i don't play tennis anymore but
6:33
i am going to try pickleball
6:35
me too i am we were with we were with
6:37
friends of mine a couple days ago who
6:39
are ardent fans now and play
6:41
constantly and they kind of sold us on
6:43
it yeah and i have it here i have like
6:46
pickleboro pickleboard courts all over
6:49
the place in pickleball pickleball
6:51
courts here so we're gonna we're gonna
6:53
go take some presents and and see what
6:54
it's about and and it's supposed to be
6:56
like it's really great game right and
6:58
i've started golfing again and i'm i
7:00
really i'm going to give that some
7:02
energy let's spend some time with that
7:04
because i like being outside
7:05
it's something you can do everywhere
7:07
yeah we got putters
7:10
like like adult mini golf
7:14
and we have putting courses here and so
7:16
we have our putters and we have golf
7:17
bars balls so we're not we're not ready
7:19
to golf yet yeah but we're gonna we're
7:22
gonna try it with the putters and we're
7:23
gonna go putt i don't think that's is
7:25
that a verb not to go putt well no you
7:28
don't need to say we don't just
7:32
we're putting we're going to go pudding
7:34
i don't know but it's you know what and
7:36
again it's finding those things that you
7:38
enjoy yeah
7:39
i have friends that are that are
7:41
voracious swimmers and and that really
7:43
if i like swimming would be a great
7:45
right at any age um physical activity
7:48
because there's no
7:50
no stress stress on any of your joints
7:52
and muscles and i do think it's you know
7:54
i mean i'm i consider myself to be in
7:57
good shape but again yeah you know i
8:00
ain't 20 anymore and
8:02
it it things are different very they are
8:04
different they are different you know we
8:06
both live in uh
8:08
dry
8:09
desert kind of community temperature and
8:12
um so
8:14
it's already getting hot here we were
8:16
talking it was already in the 90s here
8:18
and it got me thinking oh my gosh i have
8:19
to buy a bathing suit oh yeah i got to
8:21
buy a bathing suit so you don't mind i'm
8:23
just going to sit here and pick one
8:25
we gave a shout out to venus it's one of
8:27
my favorite catalogs they have great
8:29
bathing suits in here they have you know
8:30
two-piece in one piece and and all ages
8:33
so i always feel like i'm i'm taking
8:35
advan i've taken um they take care of me
8:37
in here so i i don't i don't know you
8:39
know so we're giving a shout out to
8:40
venus a few years ago i started
8:42
um
8:43
buying tommy bahama bathing suits in
8:46
part because we travel a lot right and
8:49
they have great reversibles but the
8:51
fabric that they use and and i've bought
8:54
every range of bathing suit that you can
8:56
imagine i they're incredible and they
8:58
last forever forever that's what i'm
8:59
saying the quality and the fabric used
9:02
and it doesn't um it doesn't change in
9:04
the with chlorine or the beach salt
9:05
water great patterns i mean because it's
9:08
all the tommy bahama patterns right my
9:10
husband likes to wear the shirts yes but
9:13
i love the babies
9:15
they're they're way cool i always feel
9:17
like i just need a margarita
9:18
or or a smoothie
9:21
or no not so much
9:23
not so not so much you know i think i
9:26
think the deal is is that i don't know
9:28
about you when i look in the mirror at
9:29
myself and i say can i wear the
9:31
two-piece
9:32
of course you can can i wear the one
9:34
piece you know you know as it's not even
9:37
just getting older for those of us who
9:39
have had kids
9:40
um you know some of us end up having the
9:43
the marks of having kids so i have major
9:45
stretch marks all over my stomach i mean
9:47
like huge my my son was eight and a half
9:49
pounds when he was born yeah and i'm
9:51
like you know this big so i have huge
9:53
stretch marks and i'm very conscious of
9:54
it so i find myself only wanting to buy
9:56
one piece stay really hard on yourself
9:59
i think you should i think you should
10:00
buy and wear what makes you feel good
10:02
the one piece okay well then that's fine
10:05
but i think if you if you were compelled
10:07
to to buy a bikini and that's what you
10:09
wanted then
10:11
of course your body's different you're
10:12
not going to walk out on the beach and
10:14
and there are certainly
10:16
models and in our age range that have
10:19
incredible bodies and and again i say
10:21
like i work out i've got the muscle
10:23
development but i'm still 62 years old
10:25
so
10:26
and there's certain things and i don't
10:28
care it's okay i and i don't really care
10:30
either to the point that there are so
10:32
many options so if i if i
10:34
don't really want to show it i'm going
10:36
to find a really cute one piece yeah
10:38
but
10:39
i'm i agree with you i need to get out
10:41
of my own head and stop being my own
10:44
worst critic as i look at myself but oh
10:46
look at that over there oh look at that
10:48
oh there we are i mean i that's
10:50
i think that just follows us through
10:52
life i don't know that it gets worse as
10:53
we get older i think actually
10:55
that's gotten better for me i think i
10:57
was harder on myself when i was younger
10:59
really yeah because i i just don't care
11:02
like if somebody thinks oh she shouldn't
11:05
have that on it's like that's on them
11:06
that's so interesting
11:08
when we're younger we were like we're
11:10
more consumed with what everyone's
11:11
thinking of us and we're building our
11:13
lives and we're building our futures and
11:15
everything has to be perfect and it's so
11:17
i would actually say i'm the of course
11:19
the total opposite the total opposite
11:21
when i was younger i
11:23
i just showed up like i was and i dared
11:26
anybody to like say why do you look like
11:28
that or what and i i just i looked
11:30
myself in the mirror and i would do it
11:31
it's as i've gotten older then i'm more
11:34
you know do i fit in and that i think
11:35
you know we've talked about that that's
11:37
what when i grew my hair out and you
11:39
start to look at yourself a little
11:40
differently you say
11:41
is this really me anymore yeah
11:44
i yeah it's it is the opposite for me
11:46
and it's been it's been a life
11:49
process right of growing and coming back
11:52
in and being comfortable
11:53
with myself and and not and not minding
11:56
being out there
11:57
so i i really kind of wanted to be
11:59
invisible through my
12:01
late teen years and 20s so are you going
12:03
to try anything new
12:05
this season to get moving are you going
12:07
to do something in addition to all the
12:08
things you already do okay so one thing
12:11
i'm i wanted to do it last year and and
12:13
the hurricane we were in florida um
12:16
a good portion of the summer and so the
12:18
hurricane impacted it but i really want
12:20
to try um
12:22
paddle boarding yeah that's fine i think
12:24
it looks
12:25
that's where you stand on the board in
12:26
the water right yeah yeah you have to
12:28
good balance but i'm sure you do and i
12:30
mean as a kid i did i surfed and i grew
12:33
up on the beach you do a lot of water
12:34
sports but i've never tried that i think
12:36
it's
12:37
fascinating and it does look like a
12:39
challenge and i i'm always up for a
12:41
challenge so that would be the one thing
12:43
that i would say i'm going to try i'm
12:44
never going to do anything that's height
12:46
related because i might have terrible
12:48
get nervous like like even ziplining
12:50
that's not that's never going to happen
12:52
of course i went ziplining in costa rica
12:54
it was that's what the most fun i've
12:56
ever had we kind of got guilted into
12:58
there was a nine-year-old in front of us
13:00
and she just took off and went and all
13:03
the adults that was moving
13:05
it was like oh we're not gonna let the
13:06
nine-year-old show us up so everybody
13:08
did it but once we did it was like wow
13:10
what an experience it's like flying
13:12
through the sky well when i was in
13:13
college a bunch of us were in steamboat
13:15
springs and we they we booked right the
13:19
hot air balloon and i was not going to
13:21
do it because i'm petrified
13:23
and then i stood around and this is this
13:25
is in my head i'm like i'm going to have
13:27
to listen to them talk about right how
13:29
great it was and i'm not going to do
13:30
that so i did go on was it good it was
13:33
incredible yeah
13:34
yeah and that was kind of the same thing
13:36
i went to the top of the eiffel tower
13:37
yeah and i was i had white knuckles
13:39
holding on but there are some times you
13:41
just have to just have to suck it up and
13:43
go don't know that i would do that
13:46
you know
13:47
i i can't believe i did it to be honest
13:49
and i probably would do it again because
13:51
now
13:52
it was all you know they strap you in it
13:54
really is
13:55
no i don't think it's any less safe than
13:57
a lot of other things that we do i'm
13:59
we're thinking of getting electric bikes
14:02
oh please seriously seriously because it
14:05
was either that or the golf cart
14:08
wildfire community yeah from my
14:09
community but we're thinking of doing
14:11
electric bikes so that we can actually
14:12
travel and exercise you don't use
14:14
electric bikes guys it's not just you're
14:16
going on an electric bike and that's all
14:17
you do it's oh you can't you can but
14:19
that's not our purpose our purpose is to
14:21
be able to go as far as we can go
14:23
without worrying about can we get back
14:25
and so and so that's kind of what we're
14:27
doing again you're honoring yeah where
14:29
you are exactly exactly you don't
14:31
electric bikes does not mean you have to
14:33
use it as electric it just means unless
14:35
you're my husband we were in vancouver
14:36
and he's like this is great
14:38
turn it off and do something
14:41
you know
14:42
uh whatever works it's uh i'll do it
14:44
absolutely totally just leave it leave
14:46
it at that so how did you do on your uh
14:49
life balance wheel did you do anything
14:51
on your i'm i'm i'm actually i'm kind of
14:54
balanced
15:04
i'm finding that um i'm not so
15:07
like okay i have to work on this today
15:10
it's become part of my everything and um
15:13
things are just creeping up well i think
15:15
organically as with anything if you
15:17
bring an awareness to a topic or
15:20
something that you want you want to
15:21
achieve right
15:22
it sort of organically
15:25
becomes part of you assimilates into
15:26
what you're doing and it's not an effort
