Re: Humorous look at old age

I'm reading this as I get ready to go do my Zumba Gold class, then take my dog for a 2 mile work, then get on my treadmill for 2 miles, and my bike for 5.  I do a total of Zumba 3 times a week, bike 100 miles a month and treadmill 40 miles a month.  Walk dog everyday and she is close to my age of 82 give or take a few dog years.

 

I also do free weight training 2 times a week and machine weight training 3 times a week.

 

I started 59 years ago.  Use to run 8 miles a day, but those days are gone.  I am not kidding, keep moving when you are young and you can do the same.

 

I clean my own 4 bedroom house, and do my own yard work.  So while funny discription, not true for everyone.

Re: Humorous look at old age

Years ago I went to an event - and there was a table with female and male police officers - wanting people to sign up. I told the female police woman that I'm interested in joining --- but I'm too old, too short, overweight, can't run, can't see and I'm afraid of everything. She said, "ur perfect."

Re: Humorous look at old age

I absolutely love that!! That's so funny.  Bad thing is, it's so true in so many cases. 

 

I once thought, "I've fallen, and I can't get up" was a funny commercial.  Until the day came, that the mind wanted to get up from being down on the floor, and I had to figure out a new way to get up.  The body just sort of says, hey, I'm wearing out and I'm getting tired.  Never knew.
