I wanted to post a few items here concerning how I have managed to reach seventy-seven without succumbing to disease or heart failure etc. It is mostly just because my time to go has held off taking me as yet. I mean, I take regular showers! Oh well, if I took this type of thing seriously or worried about it I suppose I would not be here?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After I turned sixty-five I got to thinking that I needed some reasonably strenuous exercise. If walking doesn’t seem strenuous you are less than fifty years old. At sixty-five, and a back screwed up in combat, I had to pick and choose what type of exercise I began. Walking was it and I have not stopped since then. I used to practice judo and karate but throwing or being thrown is not a recommendation option when ones back is a basket case. Walking fits nicely into my routine as I have always loved to walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My speed is generally averaged at 3.3 mph. I only know that because my wife gave me a Samsung Galaxy watch four Christmases ago. I used pedometers before that and they lasted about a half year and it never failed that they gave out on one of my six or seven mile walks. That sucked because I knew I had walked five and one half miles but after that the pedometer failed, in more ways than one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you see me speeding through your neighborhood wave and I’ll wave back. I won’t stop to shoot the breeze because once I begin the only thing that can stop me is my back. I hate that part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Walking is good for the mind and the spirit. It is not competitive so it allows time for such things as figuring out why a thing doesn’t work, like your car’s motor, or, if you’re like me, a time for prayer. Prayer and walking go hand in hand as the head is clear and the eyes open to the mind. I recommend it no matter your age. It is good for you and beats the hell out of a gym membership.<\/p>\n
