Retired Couple Enjoys Working Out Together

In the spotlight today are my favorite aunt and uncle, Titi Tere and Tio Papito. They are the coolest and most fun pair of retirees that I know.  Titi Tere has always been a housewife (technically not retired) and Tio Papito used to work for a very famous chocolate company in Puerto Rico. They love to exercise together and have been married for 47 years. I spoke to my aunt about their daily routines.

 

1. What motivates you to exercise every day?

We exercise a little bit every day. The motivation is to stay healthy and have good habits. We love to go running on the beach and Papito goes bike riding during the week as well. I also, do some cardio on my elliptical machine at home.

2. What is your daily routine?

We wake up, have breakfast, and then start our little workouts. We try to stay active daily. I also do housework daily such, as that is cleaning or cooking. There is always something to do.

3. What are your favorite hobbies?

We love to lounge around the house watching Netflix shows, baseball, and The Walking Dead.

4. How are you enjoying retirement?

Excuse me! Haha. What retirement? I am a housewife and still working. My husband is truly retired. We enjoy more time together.

5. What do you miss about your life before Tio Papito’s retirement?

I miss the office parties and all the chocolates he used to bring home.

6. What are your plans for the future?

We would love to take a cruise to the Virgin Islands for our 50 anniversary.

7. What does your diet consist of?

We consume low sugar and salt. We also use the air fryer often.

8. What would you tell your younger self?

Thank you for making good choices and working hard to provide for the family.
