I've been thinking about you since I sent my post, and I have a few more ideas.
Do you have a dog? They need walking. How about taking your dog for a nice, brisk walk? They also like to play. I just finished throwing the toy for my dog, and I gotta tell ya, he wore me out!
No dog, you say? Okay, then how about a nice brisk walk by yourself!? Your kids maybe? I heard that exercise doesn't have to be satanic to be beneficial. How about a nice walk with a friend or neighbor?
Do you have a bike? Where I live is a great place to ride a bike. It's safe, the streets are fairly flat, and it's very scenic. Cycling is a GREAT stress-reliever.
Too much snow where you are for cycling? Well, I put my bike on a "road simulator" so I can ride inside. They sell them at bike shops, and I'm sure they're not very expensive. (My hubby advises they have them a lot smaller now than my old one.)
Do you play tennis? There's a tennis court here, but I can't play because I have no cartilege in my right knee. Nevertheless, I like to watch -- it looks like a LOT of fun! If you have access to a tennis court, why not ask a friend to play with you?
Are there rivers near you? Ever thought of taking up kayaking? It's a lot of fun -- especially the classes -- and you see all kinds of animals in the river that you don't see on land!
I'll keep thinking -- I'll come up with something fun.
Later --
Bev.
