Exercise and aging

Exercise and aging

Senior1Walking can add minutes to your life. This enables you at 85 years old to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing home at $7000 per month.

I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.

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

I have to walk early in the morning, before my brain figures out what I’m doing..

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

Every time I hear the dirty word ‘exercise’, I wash my mouth out with chocolate.

The advantage of exercising every day is so when you die, they’ll say, ‘Well, she looks good doesn’t she.’

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

I know I got a lot of exercise the last few years,…… just getting over the hill.

We all get heavier as we get older, because there’s a lot more information in our heads. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

“Every time I start thinking too much about how I look, I just find a Happy Hour and by the time I leave,
“I look just fine.”

    facts?

    • More people die a year by coconuts falling on their heads than by shark attacks.
    • Male angler fish latch onto females and slowly deteriorate into nothing more than a pair of balls so that the female angler fish can have fresh semen whenever she needs to reproduce.
    • The moon rises 50 minutes later each day. That’s why it’s up during they day sometimes.
    • A sunset is usually more brilliant than a sunrise because of the dust that’s kicked up by the sun heating the ground, creating thermals. The dust then refracts the light and creates colors in the sky.

    • A Piece of ivory can be shaped and molded once it has been soaked for a few hours in a mild acid like vinegar or beer.
    • dill pickles light up when charged with an electrical current.
    • “Light years” are only, actually, “years” relative to the speed of the observer (us here on Earth). Not because of the 365 day cycle of the earth we call a year, but because we’re moving at such a slower speed than light that we perceive time incredibly differently.
