Today for first time in a couple months I walked around 1/4 of the trail, not far but further than I've been able to do lately.
What kind of workout if any do you do?

I have excelled at recliner camping lately. I quit monitoring my heart rate or bothering with step counting, etc. Now I see that my resting heart rate has increased and I'm having episodes of being short-winded. I guess it's time to get out of this chair before I grow roots.

Beth me being a lifetime smoker of over 60 years now, if I don't walk I get a cough. I'm sure I have COPD but I still smoke and I know its bad but I do it anyway since most of long time smoker's pay the Piper even after quitting, or that's my excuse anyway.

I try to do a few minutes o the treadmill during the winter. I get plenty of exercise in the summer months.

My husband has smoked for at least 50 years; I guess he will keep smoking till he dies. He has tried quitting many times over the years but has never been successful. So far he doesn't seem to have any health issues; he gets a chest scan every year. He also never smokes in the house or our vehicles so a lot of people have no idea that he's a smoker.

In the past month or so I haven't been doing much in the way of exercise because I've been busy traveling or doing other things, but I had been walking 10-15 miles a day on reasonably good days, 90 minutes or more on the elliptical machine, or a combination of those two, as well as some other exercises.

Uh, boy! Excercise is so tiring when you get older. I haven’t done much walking for a while, and that was my main form of exercise. I just don’t want to anymore. 
However, I do some stretching and balancing exercises daily. I also use some light hand weights to try and keep some upper body strength.

Beth, we haven't smoked in a house in almost 40 years stopped when my friend lost her first grandchild from crib death, which she blamed on so many of us adults smoking in the house.
We will smoke while driving with windows down, AC or heat still window open when smoking, but not in heavy traffic or sitting still.

I'm going to need a nap and then a massage for my achy muscles, just after reading about all that physical activity.
