With vaccinations becoming more accessible and pandemic restrictions loosening, more people are venturing back out into life again.

Even with regular exercise, many of us aren’t nearly as active as we used to be pre-pandemic. Don’t think it’s strange if you find yourself more tired than you used to be when you get back out there.

Whether it’s putting on real pants,  more walking overall, or climbing more stairs at venues it will take us some time to get back into the swing of things.

This study was done with older women but I believe it applies to everyone.

The study revealed that women who spent the most time performing light-intensity physical activity had a 46 percent lower risk of mobility loss. Link to article at the bottom of this Blog post. 

Study authors note that one in four women older than 65 years is unable to walk 2 to 3 blocks, making mobility disability a key factor in loss of independence.

This is important because most older adults I know stayed in during the pandemic due to their Covid-19 risk factor.  There are probably many older adults who aren’t nearly as active as they were BEFORE the pandemic.
