It is terrific to use technology to get back to basics and stay healthy. Modern technology has taken a lot of the drudgery out of getting into and staying healthy. When I was a very young teenager, I bought Jane Fonda’s step aerobics workout book. I worked my way through the book page after page and used another book to hold the pages while I did the exercises.
When I was a child, personal computers were out of the price range of most people The idea of using the computer to research issues of health was not done. Over the course of my lifetime, things have changed in incredible ways. Today there is an enormous variety of ways most people can access information on health and fitness. For example:
- Video games and programs
- DVDs and CDs for the television or computer
- Applications for the laptop, tablet, and cellular phone
- E-books
- Fitness devices like the Fitbit and Garmin devices
- Athletic shoes with built-in computers that connect to cell phones and smart devices
- Internet websites and YouTube videos
All of these items are eons beyond my old Jane Fonda step aerobics workout book. DVDs are available in almost every exercise discipline known to man. It is exciting to be able to change workout style each day if one chose. This means that while working out with DVDs at home, a person never need be bored.

It is a challenge for me to meet the A to Z challenge and still give my readers the content area they expect to see.
My body is a wreck, which is uncomfortable, but as long as my mind stays sharp I’m happy. This A to Z business is giving it a good work out.
I am the opposite. I adore technology and gadgets!
Great advice. I have a hard time accepting technology, I always want to fight it.
From A to Z,
I am also at that you must work out OR ELSE age! I need the music to keep me excited and moving. Thanks for stopping by, I am going now to return the favor!
At my age, working out is a must. First, I have to get my back back in working order. So my exercises are limited. Like Pam, I love music to get through the workout. I’m a fellow A-Z Challenger. Just stopping by to check your post. Have a great day.
Hugs,
Kathy (794 on the list)
Yes. Remember when we had to exercise with records or the big boom box!
When i used to work out, I used my ipod to listen to my Ricky Martin work out songs. Does that count?
