Keep walking!

We said some time ago that all of this getting older stuff has its lighter side and we know that laughter helps to keep us young.(We report the research on this in our book.) So for you fitness types and those who have made New Year resolutions, this resonated with us.....

• Walking 20 minutes can add 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.

• I do have flabby thighs, but fortunately my stomach covers them.

• The advantage of exercising every day is so when you die, they'll say, 'Well, he looks good doesn't he.'

• 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.

(But of course you will still all remember to exercise won't you!)
