Staying fit is always a challenge for most of us!  We would love to hear and see how you keep fit!   Personally, I have been consistent with going to a 30 minute HIIT class even through part of the pandemic!  Safety measures were taken very seriously and a mask is mandatory but I still love getting it in!   I also take walks with friends in my neighborhood which is good for the heart in more ways than one!   Share what gets you going!  We would love to see your photos too!

I PLAN ON GOING TO NEW ORLEANS AND HAVE A GREAT TIME WITH MY FREINDS AND FAMILY FOR 2 WEEKS

I started earning points daily with the incorporation of the new program.  Before that I would earn points now and then.  Then one day I had to use them up because the program was changing.  I always try to earn the max of 7500 points daily.  It is not hard and on an average day it might take me 45 minutes to earn them.  Your results may vary.  There are several categories to earn points. When on the points site, use the filter tab.  Three themes:  Health, wealth, and self.  Next choose the type of activity.  7 to choose from.  Finally the sort, three types.  I filter it to self, videos, and any sort.  A few pages of activities will pop up.  I do these activities first.  As I complete them, a check mark appears.  I do all of the ones in this section.  When I have completed them I change the filter.  Self, quizzes, any sort.  Repeat the process.  Eventually I will exhaust this filter and

I was earning and redeeming points for the monthly awards.  Then I got an email saying my points were expiring because the program was changing.  I used my points and started earning new points for the current program.  I continued to redeem for the sporadic three monthly rewards but some times I could not find anything I liked.  I was earning the max of 7500 daily points, about 220,000 monthly points.  Even redeeming a few things now and then I had amassed over 2 million points.  Then another email informed me that the new program had expiration dates for the points.  I scrambled to start using my points.  I still could only redeem for 3 free gift cards from various merchants.  There were other items to redeem as well but they did not interest me.  And another change in the program was the three items I redeemed for could not be the same item.  So I started redeeming for the instant win and the sweepstakes.  I would enter the

Here's a tip the AARP Rewards sponsors might not like. I use the browser Brave now (instead of their preferred Chrome) which blocks the ads that often appear before the videos. You don't even have to "skip" them, they just never show up. I'm sure other browsers and ad blocking software would work as well. Saves time and annoyance. Max out faster. Also, open up videos in a "new tab". That way you can open up all the videos you want to watch and just move from tab to tab instead of back to to the list. Happy viewing!
