What is your favorite form of physical exercise?

My favorite form of physical exercise isn’t tied to a gym membership — it’s built into my everyday routine. Carrying groceries up the stairs, walking everywhere because I don’t have a car, and turning chores into movements with music.

Honestly, there are days I’m too exhausted to move, but I’ve learned that when I do — even just stretching before bed and again when I wake — it keeps me mobile enough to carry that basket of laundry from the basement to the attic without breaking down.

On days I can’t walk to the store or around the block, I hop on my stationary bike, which even helps improve my dance moves in the kitchen as I cook. Basically, as long as my body is in motion, my energy levels stay up.

Two years ago, I was diagnosed with Type II diabetes — but thanks to major lifestyle changes, I’ve been off insulin for about ten months now. Life’s workout plan costs nothing and builds strength where it counts.
