It goes without saying that we can't go Israeli folk
dancing one-four times every week in the middle of a pandemic. :( And that was our main form of
exercise. :( We didn't know whether we should even leave the
apartment. But our old friend the Physician Assistant said that getting
some "sunshine Vitamin D" was essential to our health, so out we went,
all masked up. At first, we walked along the local highway because it
isn't the main shopping street and the sidewalks are relatively
uncrowded. More recently, though, New York City, in cooperation with
local volunteers, has closed a 26-block stretch of a local street to
vehicular traffic every day from 8 AM to 8 PM--the volunteers move the
barriers onto the street every morning and remove them every evening.
When the weather is nice, we've been known to take a stroll as long as
34 blocks round-trip on the pedestrian street. That's more exercise than I've gotten in years! And my husband sometimes leaves me at our corner
to walk further at his own much-faster pace. Much to his surprise, my
husband has actually
lost weight within the last month or so!
