Most of my visiting with people has to happen right here in my home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He described some of the \u201cphysical deterioration\u201d he has experienced in recent years, comparing it to the older characters he once portrayed on screen.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLike those old characters, I\u2019m now a stooper, a shuffler, and a teeterer. My feet give me trouble, and I lie down as often as good manners will allow,\u201d Van Dyke wrote. \u201cThose fake old-timers smacked their dentures. I chew nicotine gum all day long \u2014 even decades after quitting smoking! My eyesight is so poor now that origami is out of the question.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He noted other challenges too \u2014 difficulty following group conversations, frustration with his hearing aids, and even the simple act of eating meals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt mealtime I spill things, and when my wife Arlene [Silver] asks me to put on a clean shirt before we go out, I get impatient. \u2018It\u2019s got blueberry all over it,\u2019 she\u2019ll say.

He revealed that he continues to go to the gym three times a week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know why this is something I still want to do, but it is,\u201d he confessed. \u201cIf I miss too many gym days, I really can feel it \u2014 that stiffness sneaking up on me. If I let that set in, well, God help me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To keep himself motivated, he sets little \u201ccarrots\u201d to look forward to \u2014 like \u201ca huge smoothie or a frothy caffeine treat\u201d after a workout, or even a \u201cwell-earned nap.\u201d The gym also gives him deeper rewards: \u201ca sense of accomplishment to enjoy,\u201d a sharper mind, and what he describes as \u201ca full-body tingly exhilaration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also shared details of his workout routine, which involves moving through a full circuit of gym machines without stopping.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI start with the sit-up machine. Arlene says I could do 500, but that might be an exaggeration. Then I go through all the leg machines faithfully \u2014 my legs are two of my most cherished possessions. Then it\u2019s on to the upper body.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Music, he said, is the secret to keeping him going. He hums, sings, and even dances his way from one machine to the next.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou heard me \u2014 dancing! And if I\u2019m really feeling it, I\u2019m not a quiet hummer; I\u2019m a full Broadway belter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By the time he finishes, he says he\u2019s \u201cin a sweaty rush, blood pumping from fingertips to toes, and my spirits soaring.\u201d And every time he leaves the gym, he asks himself with excitement, \u201cOK, today \u2014 what\u2019s next?!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cIf I miss too many gym days, I can really feel it \u2014 a stiffness creeping in here and there.
