Walking 20 minutes can add to your life. This enables you at 85
years old to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing home
at $7000 per month. My grandpa started walking five miles
a day when he was 60.. Now he's 97 years old and we don't
know where 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'mdoing.. I joined a health club
last year, spent about 400 bucks. Haven't lost a
pound. Apparently you have to go there. 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. We all get heavier as we get older, because there's
a lot more information in ourheads. That's my story and I'm
sticking to it. AND Every time I start thinking too
much about how I look, I just find a Happy Hour and by
the time I leave, I look just fine. You could run this
over to your friends But just e-mail it to them!
