Vitamin D, a part of your fitness journey…

Vitamin D, a part of your fitness journey, from Walking is Fitness

My summary from the Walking is Fitness by Dave.  A daily 10 minute podcast meant to bring you that fitness link to encourage you to walk daily with Dave 10 minutes a day.  I am trying to recall from my memory topics covered in that 10 minute podcast.

I Dave’s Walking is Fitness podcast, I recently listened to him talk about the benefits of walking and getting your “sunshine” vitamin. Vitamin D. Dave has this great podcast and YouTube channel, where he talks about his journey for using Walking is Fitness, intentional walking for his fitness journey. Feels like a friend talking to you, as you walk. Great motivation! Keep it up Dave!

What I’ve been doing, in addition to teaching chair based fitness, is a daily Seokmun-Hoheup Breathing and Meditation practice, along with walks, and hanging out on my Egoscue Tower for managing my scoliotic back. Keeps my daily chronic back pain at a minimum.

Part of my mental game is using my manual typewriter to collect my collected thoughts onto paper.

Here’s my mother’s 1934 #Underwood #PortableTypewriter There are a few things I need to fix on it as a loose ruler, and a set of new rubber feet. And then learning how to adjust that Capital Letters to be aligned with the lower case letters. But it’s a good “type”.

Join me on my YouTube channel for your seated fitness or your gentle yoga for easing back pain. I am not a doctor, or licensed nutritionist. Just sharing what I learn onto you good folk.

Here’s my latest gentle yoga class. I mix it up with on the floor, seated on the chair, standing behind the chair. Most movements can be done seated on the chair! #SeatedChairFitness #SeniorFitness

Easy to do yoga movements to ease back pain. You don’t have to be a pretzel to do yoga! Yoga with Gail.
