Me? I've got a Border Collie, runs alongside the scooter!

Not able to walk far enough for 2hr daily walks but it would be nice to be able to just walk to the nearest grass once a week maybe without having to get the scooter out! Be handy if the batteries went suddenly so we don't have to miss a days walk,waiting for someone to come and fit new batteries!

Need more leg strength first! Have asked for advice on leg weights on a separate post. Hoping someone answers so I can get them ordered today to start by the end of this week!

Can exercise reverse the aging process?
I would say it can't reverse the ageing process but it can with diet help to prevent the progression of some health conditions and make the ageing process less noticeable.

yes it goes on charge on every night they're big 50ah batteries but eventually over time they hold their charge less and where as the dial is always on the full end when you have new fully charged ones, it starts moving into the yellow and red on hills showing the batteries are not topping up well and they're running nearly flat getting round, so I change them at that point and get a new pair.

I have a shorter lead (jogging belt fastened round scooter seat) for when she's trotting alongside on road, some places I use extending lead to give her a bit more freedom and then she goes off-lead over the fields and in the parks.

Don't think she'd pull it its 50kg and thats without me on it!!! She's got her own dog bike trailer though, had a custom bracket made for scooter to attach one so we can go further afield and she can ride where we're on the road with a lot of traffic.

So yes (and I hope OldGreyFox reads this as he can back this up perfectly with his recent health check), we can actually look, feel and have the body and mind of a much younger person if we adhere to a relatively healthy lifestyle.
Thanks Floydy, and I apologise for only just spotting this thread....

Can Exercise Reverse the Ageing Process?

Well I shelled out 200 quid earlier in the year for a complete medical assessment because I was getting worried about my performance while running out on the roads every other day. Something I've been doing for the last forty years.

Following a heart attack in 2004 I was wondering if my ageing old ticker had finally had enough and was calling time on my athletic pursuits....
What a surprise I got when the results dropped through my letterbox...
I had passed nearly all of the tests and it was declared that I had the fitness and body of a 53 year old....Not bad for a 69 year old.....

Furthermore, Following my heart attack back in 2004 it was decided that had I not been a runner for most of my adult life, it could have been fatal.....
After just a few weeks I was walking at least ten miles every day and returned to running just three months later and still manage over twenty miles per week....

So in answer to your question Carol........You tell me?...

No Susan, it was a visit to a specialist with all different kinds of equipment...Bloods were taken and sent to a lab for analysis...

Re: Can exercise reverse the aging process?

Nothing can reverse your age other than skin tightening therapy, however, it will only boost your external appearance. Whereas exercise will keep you fit and young internally and off course tight muscles will surely fade some of your wrinkles.
