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 ...

Re: Walking in place

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.

Re: Dreams

Like the song goes . . .

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go.

To right the unrightable wrong
To be better far than you are

To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest ...

Re: Push up bars

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.
