I’m a sedentary retiree settled in my ways. I occasionally walk to the clubhouse for a book to read or down to the boat dock in my condo complex. The most walking I do is on vacation, when I have to roll my luggage through the airport or take a city tour of my destination. I have the I’ve been there, done that, attitude towards formal exercise. Occasionally, I shake my hips in the kitchen while cooking to Celia Cruz’s salsa music.
