What's It All About?

Follow me, or better yet join me as I journey into my sixties... enjoying my grandchildren... trying to stay healthy and fit... maybe some traveling and whatever else tickles my fancy.

Fit to Retire

There's every reason to get fit and healthy. I can't think of a single reason not to do your best to at least stay healthy to the best of your ability. One reason that I think about is being fit for my later years. If I'm fortunate enough to be able to retire one day, I would like to have the energy, strength and ability to enjoy an active post-job life. I would prefer not to have to sit in one of those motorized scooters to get around, or walk with a walker or a cane. I would prefer to be able to get around and not have to spend my time at home in front of a TV all day waiting for someone to take me everywhere that I need to go.

And with the way things are these days, retirement might not even be an option. And if that's the case, I would like to be healthy and fit enough to keep working to support my family and myself without having to rely on others. Either way fitness is a plus.

I had a great 40 minute back work-out today, pyramided Back Rows  and 1 Arm Dumbbell Rows also, and Chin-Ups, Pull-Ups, & Shrugs. I also walked for 30 min. and I did my German lessons... plus the 8 hours work and I am ready to relax this last hour before bedtime.
