Loved the VA museum!

I think I'll join a gym. My Medicare supplemental will pay for it, and there's one ten minutes' walk from my house. Try to thicken up these toothpick arms.

We have a gym membership through my wife’s work, which is great, except that I don’t feel guilty about not going because we don’t pay for the membership.

An half hour walk to the gym would be better. Nothing like walking to get in shape. I talk from experience, my dog walks me 6 miles every morning.

I do walk. I doesn't do much for my arms.

You'll have to try walking on your hands Jer!

You're forgetting my walking stick!

Edit, sorry, i hadn't seen Jack's post.

My grandfather could still perform a handstand in his late 70's*! Crazy old bugger!

* - Maybe even beyond that, (he lived well into his 90's), that's just the last time I recall seeing him do it. He did headstands too!

 

[GmpaJim]

Thanks for the memory. When we were kids, my best friends dad could do handstands and walk (somewhat) on his hands. I thought it was magic! The more we tried, the worse we did. I’m suprised nobody broke their neck.

Fishing can be great exercise too, if you ride your bike 10 miles to the river and 10 miles back, like I did today .

I have a telescoping rod, otherwise it might be too awkward to transport it on a bike…

And how is it uphill BOTH WAYS???

 

[Peregrin]

Reminds of that old saying.
"When I was a kid we walked to school, and it was uphill both ways!"

You just need some DIY rod holders on your milk crate there, like these ones I made for kayak fishing.

I used to laugh at my neighbors who paid someone else to mow their lawns so they could drive to the gym and exercise. An old fashioned reel mower is a good workout*


*Now I'm 60 years old and it's 106 degrees out. The neighbor kid mows my lawn and I'm looking for somewhere I can go swim laps.
