Today, I started my walking exercise inside the house. From my bedroom I went around the living room, then proceeded to the kitchen,to the veranda. I stayed for a while at the veranda and did some stretching and clapping.
I've heard from a Chinese herbalist that clapping has health benefits. I also imitated the movements of a Tai Chi master, only the basic. This is on YouTube.
I am still recovering so have to take things slowly. Counting my steps am sure I achieved more than 1000 steps today.

That`s good. I also do some walking exercise inside the apartment and it helps me to do my dancing exercise after.

Good luck with your exercise. Try to look for simple body weight exercises that you can do in YouTube.

I do that too when it rains outside. We have a biggish hall - 35 feet in length and that provides enough space for walking.

That's great! Too many people live a sedentary lifestyle these days especially during lockdown and quarantine. Glad to know you're still trying to stay as active as you can. I hope you fully recover soon.

Thank you feeling better now. I can't stay in my bedroom the whole time so I move around the house.

@florelway Sometimes that can actually make you feel better and speed up recovery.

If you're wearing pants with a pocket, you can turn on an app that counts your steps on your phone. Then you wouldn't have to guess how many steps you take.

Have you done any of them that you have heard about? I do not always get out so walking exercises on the computer are very good for me.
