It does no harm to have further verification of old knowledge. I’m almost 81 living with metastatic cancer and while it has slowed me down, I and my wife go to the gym regularly, primarily for resistance training and I visit a personal trainer once a week. Eating well is part of our lives and simply enjoying the life we have with family and friends.

This is an excellent piece. Exercise has always been a way of life for me, although I had to learn about responsible workouts and not overtraining (speaking of anxiety and mental health?!) Movement was a key part of my autoimmune encephalitis recovery and processing my grief and trauma. Moving is getting out of my head!

I wish this got more attention. Public schools keep cutting back on physical fitness and recess. And social media and video games has replaced free play outdoors.

Big mistake.

I love exercises: I can happily watch all day. Douglas Adams put me off actually dpoing any by dying in the changeroom after a workout.

So, my routines?

Pushing my luck

Jumping to conclusions

Beating about the bush

Stirring shit

Please make the Olympic events.
