Walking can add time to your life. This enables you at 85 years old to spend an Additional 5 months in a nursing home at $5000 per month.

My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was 60. Now she's 97 years old and we don't know where the hell she is. 

 The only reason I would take up exercising is so that I could hear  heavy breathing again.

I joined a health club last year, spent about 400 bucks. Haven't lost a pound. Apparently you have to go there.

I have to exercise early in the morning before my brain figures out what I'm doing.


I have flabby thighs, but fortunately my stomach covers them.

The advantage of exercising every day is that you die healthier.

If you are going to try cross-country skiing, start with a small country.

.............And last but not   least,

 You could run this over to your friends but why not just e-mail it to them!

Exercise for People Over 50
Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you
have plenty room at each side.
With a 5-lb potato sack in each hand, extend your arms
straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can.
Try to reach a full minute, and then relax.
Each day you'll find you can hold this position for just
a bit longer. After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb potato
sacks. Now try 50-lb potato sacks.
Then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb
potato sack in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute (I'm at this level).
After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each of the sacks.
