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.

I remember days when people make new year resolutions, it's a good time to refocus on activities and diet.

Re: Happy Holidays

We did the Christmas thing when our kids were young and at home, nowadays just give them money, they're in their 40's now. Family and friends get together and eat, no religious significance.
