A few thoughts about exercise.

The Importance of walking

Walking can add minutes to your life.
This enables you at 85 years old
To spend an additional 5 months in a nursing
Home at $6,000 per month.

*************************************************

My grandpa started walking
Five miles a day when he was 60.
Now he's 97 years old
And we have no idea where the hell he is.  
***********************************  
I like long walks,
Especially when they are taken
By people who annoy me.

************************************

The only reason I would take up walking
Is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.  
***************************************************
I have to walk early in the morning,
Before my brain figures out what I'm doing...

********************************************

Every time I hear the dirty word 'exercise',
I wash my mouth out with chocolate.

********************************************

I do have flabby thighs,
But fortunately my stomach covers them.  
********************************************

The advantage of exercising every day
Is so when you die, they'll say,
'Well, he looks good doesn't he.'

  ******************************************

If you are going to try cross-country skiing,
Start with a small country.  

**************************************
I know I got a lot of exercise
The last few years,......
Just getting over the hill.

I exercise just so l can stay on this site longer than the doctors, said l could !.

Still not climbed that high cockpit commeing yet,

BUT GOT UP ON THE TRAILER, and gave the engine a 25 minutes run !

A full two litres of petrol 

Getting better each week, weight down to 94.5 killoes. 60 pushup,s, 10 star jumps AND a very little jog around the children's swings.

I get exhausted changing my mind and jumping to conclusions. I walk around the block five times, then put the block back in the Lego box then lay down for a good rest.

Peter, that sounds more like my fitness programme.

 

I takes me half an hour of wheezing and struggling just to get my socks on

[spacesailor]

Socks on! 

Thats the wifes job.

The doctor said so.

Don,t cross your legs.

Don,t bend to far, and the list goes on,

Great doctor !.

Oops

I forgot  ,, now with a ' hip ' replacement,  I do ten touch toes, with crouch daily. 

That Dr also said " NO carrying shopping. Pushing " shopping trolley,  or lawn mower .

Now that's a great Dr , don't you think .

I was like nomadpete. But now I can put my socks on and tie my shoelaces. I've been wearing slip-on shoes for a couple of years, but now back to wearing lace-up cross trainers. For a while I used a "sock slider" but don't need it any more. The trouble is, now I have to buy new trousers. My present ones now overlap 10 cm at the waist.

Good problem to have. (Clothes too loose).  Nev

I agree, easier to fix with a cable tie or two, a bit harder to expand them.
