Less is more.
We’ve turned the idea of “exercise” into something so loaded these days, only to be validated by a specific kind of intensity. Just uttering the word exercise now can ignite an all-or-nothing mindset, filled with protein obsessions, endless wearable fitness trackers, or even a costly membership to an elite wellness club.

I used to be a runner. Quite a few years ago my knees told me not to run anymore.
I joined the Y and did the elliptical and treadmills until my knees complained some more. I moved my exercise routine to the resistance machines. Then Covid hit, I cancelled my membership and the months turned into years away from the gym.
I found some resistance bands in the house and started some simple exercises at home. I rejoined the Y and started back with the resistance machines.
Earlier this year my employer offered access to online virtual physical therapy. I took advantage of this benefit from https://www.hingehealth.com/ and have been in physical therapy now for over three months. Less pain (especially my cervical spine, the result of a near fatal encounter with a car), less stiffness, better flexibility, and gradually improving strength. The beauty of the program is availability on demand and it is 100% HEP (home exercise program). Sessions are 10-12 minutes long and you don’t have to leave the house.

Oh, I would like to try that. Do you need a referral from a doctor. And I wonder if Medicare would cover that.
I don’t think Hinge offers individual memberships. The program is sold to corporations and health plans in the preventative care space. Medicare does not appear to offer this. As a participant I do not need an MD/DO referral. The only requirement is I have to be a member of the corporate sponsored health insurance plan. My wife and I are both in the health insurance plan and both of us take advantage of this physical therapy.
I’ve seen claims records and the sessions are billed to the corporation like a health claim. My employer pays for this benefit. I like the program because it’s visual for each exercise and informative.
Happy 4th!
