Even though I try and lift weights in the gym I find that swimming gives my whole body muscle strength in stead of focusing on one body part Deb Stuart RN Nov 2024

@DebStuart That's awesome! It's so important to find what works for you and that you enjoy!

Walking and strength training is definitely working as a stress buster for me. I hope to continue as we enter into the cooler months in Texas!!

I engage in light bodyweight exercises like squats, lunges, push-ups, and planks at home. I can do them any time of the day and I try to do them at least 4 times a week.
