Re: Elderly Exercise?
Blimey Meg, I eat like a horse when I am out running four days a week, I also eat like a horse if ever I'm not running - perhaps through injury - but since I retired, I treat running with a more leisurely attitude, [not the need for speed] and [touch wood] have not sustained any injury's for a couple of years now.

Re: Elderly Exercise?
I still go to my local gym and do 3 or 4 circuits - I can be in and out in less than an hour and that includes 10 minutes hoola hooping.I was not well a while back and lost 7lbs but I think it's going back on now. Have to be careful as we get older, being too thin can be very ageing so I don't aim to lose weight but tone up and keep fit, generally.

There's no membership fee, and it only costs £1 per session and a session can be for as short or long a period as you like. You can pop in for a brisk 10 minute walk or you can spend all day in there. It's a nice atmosphere because no-one has anything to prove, and people are very sociable. Once you've been in for an induction with the fitness coordinator, you're good to go.
I train about 3 or 4 hours a week, usually, but prefer more if I can fit it in.

[QUOTE=Myra;653659]I hired a treadmill May and I really enjoyed it. I liked the fact you could do certain programmes on it. I'm thinking of hiring it again.[QUOTE]Last year I bought an inexpensive, manual treadmill and quite enjoy it.
It's also useful for hanging the washing on, so def a good buy
