I go to a senior centre most mornings and see the folks who haven't looked after their health and fitness. Most are way overweight and there because now a doctor will tell them to move for 20 mins a day and they sit on a machine and watch TV.

People should keep the sidewalk in front of their homes clear, we have sidewalk ploughs but they don't do a perfect job. I had a property with 250 feet of sidewalk I always kept clear of any snow and a 4 car lane way. The guilty people only have the width of their property, these are not old folks ...

I saw an ad on me PC that shows an old fellow marching on the spot, lifting knees high and arm straight up and down (like a DB shoulder press) alternating moving with each leg, the ad sez 100 times. Setting a timer for 10 mins would be just as good then you don't have to keep track of counting.

Like the song goes . . .

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe

To run where the brave dare not go.

To right the unrightable wrong
To be better far than you are
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest ...

The senior centre fitness room has push-up bars, I found in a box of leg bands.

Quite nippy today here in Ontario -24°C Feels -28 with the wind chill but still every Saturday morning meet me friend at the Tea Haus at 9am downtown, only a 20 minute walk.

I realize not everyone gets out every day like me and me wife. Sunday was very c-cold out but still walked 30 mins downtown ...

I've used a soccer ball size medicine ball, like diamond push-ups. Also used a kettlebell or two. I like using a Swedish ladder, elevating me legs. I mainly just use the floor but have made use of suspension straps at the senior centre fitness room, they let you use many angles, plus some stability.
