Thread Name: BS: The Things I Used To Do
Subject: RE: BS: The Things I Used To Do
Until I was in my late 40s, I could stand on my head and flip my legs into Lotus Position...I last stood on my head on my 55th birthday, 10 years ago.
(and the things I could do in Yoga at 22! (6'1"..135 LBS...26x34 jeans)

I make such a retirement living as it is working at a lathe, turning wooden stuff....I get 'tired', but do no aerobic exercise, and it shows!

I have made ONE serious form of progress though....I have integrated my memory with my exercise program...as my memory gets worse and I forget more, I get to run up and down stairs more often...*grin*

I eat less, because I don't burn the calories like I used to, so I have be more careful how much I pile on the plate.
