Re: Childish Things

I'd like swing high on a swing.
They had adult equipment in a park where I used to live but it was all exercise based, boring stuff.
I think they should have soft play, jungle gyms and parks just for us oldies, that would keep us fit!
Bouncy castles might be a bit dangerous though

We have a trampoline park near us, I'm seriously considering going to trampoline exercise class but I can't get anyone to go with me, lazy bugger mates LOL

Re: Childish Things

I don't think I should go on a trampoline, it's a bit energetic and I might break something.

Then they'd charge me for it

I still drive a car, I learned to do so when I was 12, and I still get into precarious situations.

Why don't you get one of your own?

I originally purchased this one for physiotherapy after breaking my ankle 20 years ago. I use it often as part of a fitness routine.

The grandkids like it too as you can see.

Re: Childish Things

As a child, my mum never liked me to use water pistols, so i wasn't allowed to have any!

As i grew up I found more adult activities entertaining but, about 20 years ago, a child reminded me of the joy in getting wet with water pistols. Since that day I always have a water pistol & don't care whether I use it on children or adults!

There should be no age barrier to having fun!

Re: Childish Things

I've got a Reebok mini trampoline, carol, it's great!
And yes the grandkids love it!
I try to stand on one leg and bounce very gently for a minute, then change to other leg..not easy but reckoned to be good exercise for too many reasons to list ...well ok, ankles, knees, hips, thighs, core!
