Re: Take care of your body

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.

Me friend who just turned 76 has started to use a ...

Re: Snow

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 ...

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

This is my quest ...

I originally bought the Atlas Dynamic Tension System 1972 and has been a method of various exercise used over the years. I go to a senior centre during the week, a social thing for me as well as exercise in the fitness room. I walk every time (15 mins each way) but one member lives just up the ...
