As I am waiting for the weather to warm up and stay warm, I am using different things at work to help to get some aerobic exercise in. Now, it may not seem significant, but for me it does wonders. I have already talked about using the stairs instead of the elevator. So far so good on that one! I have also started parking my car as far away from my building as I can. It started last week when my schedule changed slightly. Our memory care community is a secured unit. When no one is at the front desk in that building, people simply push a button to let the front desk in independent living know to let them in. We can see people on the cameras who are waiting to get in. Lately, we have been having issues with our buzzer, so I now go in at 8 to the memory care until the front desk person gets there at 10:30. That way, there's a better chance that no one will have to wait to get in.
Anway, our memory care is on the opposite side of our communities from our assisted living, where I work normally. The first day I was in at 8, I parked at memory care, naturally. I decided that I would not drive my car across campus to assisted living, but instead I would walk over there. And then, at the end of the day, I walk back over to memory care. It's working for me and I'm definitely getting my steps in! So, I am happy with the inclusion of that daily aerobic exercise into my regime.
