Re: Elderly Exercise?
Well I did the Porthcawl 5k this morning nice and easy in a time of 24:30 without any knee pain at all. As my huge brain worked out my knee pain was being caused by my excessive weight. As my weight has dropped my knee pain has receded and is gone now. So you fat buggers with joint pains lose the fat - simples.Been out for a 2nd run tonight of 6 miles and felt great. At last the weight loss is kicking in and I can step up my training. Makes life interesting when you can apply both your brain and body to various pursuits.

Will mabe try setting up my wiifit again, later and do some gentle exercise
He was doing 50 - 100 miles per day and lost 4 inches off his waist ... crikey ...
I had no idea he was a cyclist and always wondered why he looks so fit.
He says I could buy a longer handlebar thingie if I can't raise this one up far enough, so I shall fiddle around later and see what I can do

Can't believe that it was so bruised and how the bruising has lasted so long.
All I did was topple over as I stopped and it was in the local Country Park ... not on to concrete, just stones and 'stuff'
Did I get any sympathy ? erm .... no comment

Re: Elderly Exercise?
Weighed last night and was 10st 9lb after my run. Weight loss is hovering around 20lbs now. Amazing thing really but my knee pain has totally gone.Pushed myself at the club last night and dropped everyone. Only got caught at the end by one guy. This was during a hard 5km beach run mostly on soft sand. He won't catch me when I have lost another stone. Will be left dead in the water.

Re: Elderly Exercise?
If really really starting out taking exercise here is a very simple exercise you can do sitting down at the computer.First of all cover the mouse with you hand then lift hand off the mouse. Told you it was simple. Do that a few times until you are comfortable doing it.
The next exercise is again place the hand over the mouse and try pushing it forward. Do that a few times until you are comfortable doing it.
Next do the first two thing and then take it one stage further. After pushing the mouse forward try pulling it back. Try that a few times and do not over do it and take a rest after each exercise.
You will soon get the hand and arm doing a movement it may not be used to.
