Daily(as of Dec 21, 2025) I do a very early morning intense 3 mile meditative run. Then every other day I do an intense 2 mile meditative walk quite a bit later in the morning. And on days I do not do the meditative walk, in late afternoon I use 2 heavy and a medium resistance bands(choked up) placed together on arms, and shoulders, and also use 2 ultra heavy resistance loop band together (I choke them up enough to make them as hard as I can handle) on legs, back, and biceps and stretch still slightly dislocated right arm along with other challenging stretching exercises.
I am very creative in use of resistance bands, so very difficult to easily explain. I also do brief meditative movement exercises at home periodically during the day to help deal with stress. I am really straining to work my muscles as hard as I can. Effort counts when it comes to improving the mind body spirit connection.
My runs and walks become more meditative when I focus hard on moving my arms and shoulders and on my breathing and try hard to quiet my mind by putting all my attention on this and my emotional state. The vigorous shoulder movement does get more blood to the brain.
I am 74 years old, but am extremely healthy physically and spiritually due to the intense physical spiritual training I do daily and the strict high fiber vegan diet I am on with lots of vitamin mineral supplements. Do get enough protein. Being extremely neurodivergent my diet had to be adjusted to fit my very unique dietary/nutritional needs, that took a lot of experimenting over my lifetime to perfect. Doing strength training on the same muscle daily is not recommended by physical training experts, but I have done this before and got away with it. I am extremely tuned into my body spiritually and know very well how much it can handle and when I need to take days off to prevent injury and heal.
