wow! you do walk a lot on your work days!I keep meaning to start exercising, but I never actually do. I'm pretty lazy.
I work in retail though, so I spend a lot of time walking around - when I had a pedometer, I was averaging around 15,000 steps per day (on work days). Occasionally I'll get an extra workout stocking kitty litter or giant bags of dig food.
i really like what @Hatchytt posted, taking evening walks. then there's things like taking the stairs instead of elevators/escalators. those are ways i would add some exercise, but still not be exercising by itself.

carrying bags and baskets on the walker's seat as you walk sounds like it would take some extra energy/exercise from you!
My whole freaking house is a cat room.I think, in part, it also has to do with the fact that I have another sick kitty to take care of. Although she's very early stage CKD, I worry a lot. I guess because of what happened to Lucky, and how soon this happened after he died. I am trying to get back into going out again occasionally, but definitely don't like getting home late anymore. I will make a few exceptions for it - but very few. As far as things at home, the main thing I've been doing is turning my bedroom into a cat roomI feel so pathetic sometimes.
Yeah, the group workout with trainers is pretty cool. I wasn't sure if I'd like it considering we used to do one-on-one, but I liked it a lot better than I thought. I just need to get the oomph to go again, and getting home at 7:30 on a weeknight feels so late now.

yoga is really wonderful!I try to exercise, but health issues don't always make it easy. I do yoga on and off (and have done for 10 years or more), and I ride or work with my exmoor mare when I can...and stable chores make for quite good exercise too. I used to walk (with the dogs) a lot as well, but only manage it occasionally now
I used to be a LOT more active when I was younger, and I really miss those days. My body just won't cooperate so well anymore.

there can be quite a bit of exercise in walking and stair climbing during commuting!
i don't enjoy sweating either! the longer i've lived here and have taken care of my house and property and been doing all the necessary chores, the more i've grown to just accept that i will sweat and become sweaty/grungy while doing things.
Yes, I'm a bit of an exercise junkie. I get really anxious if I'm not active enough. I do yoga, horse riding, bike riding, hiking, running and walking. These days I mainly walk because there is too much snow around to run or ride.
I'd like to join a gym so I can use the running machines during the winter months, but I'm too heavily tattooed to be accepted by most Japanese gyms.

i wonder.........i think many/most people are creatures of habit, at least to some extent, or routines. habits/routines can and do change over time, for various reasons, but once we're out of the habit or don't have exercising in our routines...it takes making a change to our habits/routines to start exercising again -- and i think human beings don't generally find change easy.

shoveling snow is really good exercise!
walking in the mornings sounds like a very nice way to start the day!

have you considered buying a treadmill -- even a used one? or possibly an exercise bike? it might cost you less than a gym membership, to buy one or both of those...and you'd have them in your home to use during the winter months. then you can do your winter exercising in your home, while others have to go out through the snow and wintery mess to get to the gym!

Yeah and today I got to shovel !!! Would have preferred to be gardening.
shoveling snow is really good exercise!as is gardening and mowing the lawn in summer!
walking in the mornings sounds like a very nice way to start the day!and it may very well be the most comfortable part of some summer days, when it's hot and humid.
