Just joined so I'm introducing myself.Hi SpeccyBecky and to NCM55! Just new here. I'm 67 and still working. Live in California's Central Valley which is COVID heaven apparently. We seem finally to have moved down from "worst ever" to just "worst, ugh." I have to say I've been very lucky all in all: I am an engineer and had already been telecommuting for some time. Actually, I may have invented telecommuting as I convinced my employers in 1989 to let me buy one of the first ever MACs and work from home 3 days a week so I could be with my 2 year old. I've lived all over as well. Born in California, but spent my early years in South America then 10 years in Denmark. I'm extremely lucky to be a woman working in high tech still after all these years. But I can tell you, finding women friends at the workplace is a no go. Anyway, happy to chat. Glad to be here. Yay to the global community, boo to the global non-immunity! :)ViewDate:

Staying Strong After 50Hi, I'm 67 and until about 3 months ago I dared to continue going to the cross-training gym I've belonged to for about 4 years. I now keep fit at home - invested in a C2 rower, pull-up bar, and a couple of other very small assists. Then I do my pushups, sit ups, and planks. It's not nearly what I'm used to but the truth is, I think the cardio from the rower makes up for a number of other things I miss. Not sure I'll hit the gym again but I'd love to maintain contacts with fitness lovers here. I worry most about my balance frankly. I hate Turkish getups, but truth be told they're awesome for balance.
