Because some people take the meaning of 'Being Old' literally Floydy....

You don't stop because you're old...
You get old because you stop....

Re: Two billion people in the world are over 50..

I don’t have a daily routine .
I have a dog which I take for walks everyday .
He also does agility once a week which means I do a fair bit of running about too
When I am in Spain I go for long walks ( hikes ) twice a week and I ride horses at least twice a week doing classical riding ( dressage ) which is quiet exacting .
The horse I ride is no slug so I think I’m doing pretty well.

I try to do the 10,000 steps a day which IMO is pretty good .

I hate gyms with a passion they are so BORING !

If exercise was more interesting more people would do it .

to be fair just because people don't post on the daily exercise routine thread doesn't mean they don't exercise and keep themselves fit, it's just you three are fitness freaks *running for cover* there ya go, I just done my exercise for the day running away from you hahaha

I agree with that, Muddy.

I have rejoined my local gym two, or even three times now, but have left because I found it so boring.
I am not one of those who enjoys posing in front of the mirrors like some of the men there either.

Other than my yoga three times a week, I would sooner be outside in the fresh air ding something, than using lumps of iron in a dismal, grey walled gym with awful music blaring and the air con nearly blowing me off my bike!

No gym for me either - I prefer countryside walking .....

Re: Two billion people in the world are over 50..

I really miss exercise particularly swimming. It's usually injuries that have stopped me, but i do take the dog out for a walk every day. I'm very active though. But having a routine is so much better.

A sensible and on-topic answer. Thank you, Annie.
It does really knock us for six when we get injured and are restricted, especially when some of us are normally very active and are not as ignorant about their health as some people are. Or is it just because they can't be bothered with looking after themselves and would rather eat pies?

Have you realised that housework, gardening, ironing etc etc is all exercise and more rewarding, Floydy?
