nurktwin 2,143 Report post Posted September 9, 2011 Importance of Walking Walking can add minutes to your life. This enables you at 85 years old to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing home at $7000 per month. ___________________________________ My grandpa started walking five miles a day when he was 60. Now he's 97 years old and we don't know where he is. __________________________________ I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me. ______________________________ The only reason I would take up walking is so that I could hear heavy breathing again. ____________________________________ I have to walk early in the morning, before my brain figures out what I'm doing.. ________________________________________ I joined a health club last year, spent about 400 bucks. Haven't lost a pound. Apparently you have to go there. ______________________________________ Every time I hear the dirty word 'exercise', I wash my mouth out with chocolate. ____________________________________ The advantage of exercising every day is so when you die, they'll say, 'Well, she looks good doesn't she.' ____________________________________ If you are going to try cross-country skiing, start with a small country. __________________________________ I know I got a lot of exercise the last few years,...... just getting over the hill. __________________________________ We all get heavier as we get older, because there's a lot more information in our heads. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. ___________________________________ AND Every time I start thinking too much about how I look, I just find a Happy Hour and by the time I leave, I look just fine.

TomFest 576 Report post Posted September 9, 2011 We only get about 4 trillion heartbeats in a lifetime. Why use them up faster than necessary by walking or exercising? Makes no sense. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amber 70 Report post Posted September 9, 2011 ^LOL! I do walk everyday....but I had a personal trainer once who nearly killed me. I finally told her I had enough. She kept telling me to work through the pain! I said, oh hell, I would lots rather go quickly with the heart attack I had coming than slowly with cancer or something and fired her.
