People don't realize that just 30 seconds per exercise, done daily, is sufficient. The key is picking the correct exercises.
I chose the specific set of 20 exercises based on their therapeutic and preventative effects, targeting joint rejuvenation and muscle lengthening, functional strengthening.
I created a tool called a mobility bar to facilitate the performance of all 20 exercises in a compact space in a persons home.
Movement is essential. Maintaining our physical vitality is key to quality of life. Most people thing I am 15 to 20 years younger then my age, it is ok to grow old. It is not ok to grow weak.
Sounds great! Care to share?
That’s quite impressive. Do you happen to have any links to help others to build a 10÷-minute routine as well?
I just turned OLD over a period of a year and I am in agony. Rheumatoid is kickin in like crazy especially neck and shoulders. Sleeping is torture.
There is a big market for what you have described. When you get your site up, give us the link. There are lots of free sites to use.
Had an episode a year ago that was not looking good. My Doctor gave me a year or two before the cardiac arrest or stroke. Followed his age old recommendation of exercise, healthy eating, and low calorie intake. I'm 65 and feel like a 63 year old man...har.
Interestingly, when I told him at the time I drink a pint of rum every other day, he said that studies have shown alcohol to dilute the blood and lesson the occurrence of blood clots. So now I'm a drunk and may have to deal with a failing liver. However, I get tested for my liver enzymes once a year and they are normal. I attribute that to taking Milk Thistle for years. It's a prescribed herb in Europe.
Now I only need to deal with the loss of brain n-n-neuropeons.
Can you explain that mechanism here and possibly show the design or do you need to go to Freepmail?
I use a treadmill 3x a week at a fast inclined walk for 20mins to warm up. Also do resistance training to keep the muscles from atrophy and build calcium to strengthen the bones. All together: treadmill, pull-downs from a univeral in-home gym, and free weights. If you've got something that can do all that, let's talk. I could be your financier. :)
God’s plan for aging
Most seniors never get enough exercise. In His wisdom God decreed that seniors become forgetful so they would have to search for their glasses, keys and other things thus doing more walking. And God looked down and saw that it was good.
Then God saw there was another need. In His wisdom He made seniors lose coordination so they would drop things requiring them to bend, reach & stretch.
And God looked down and saw that it was good.
Then God considered the function of bladders and decided seniors would have additional calls of nature requiring more trips to the bathroom, thus providing more exercise. God looked down and saw that it was good.
So if you find as you age, you are getting up and down more, remember it’s God’s will. It is all in your best interest even though you mutter under your breath.
Nine Important Facts To Remember As We Grow Older

#6 Men have 2 motivations: hunger and hanky panky, and they can’t tell them apart. If you see a gleam in his eyes, make him a sandwich.

#4 Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in the hospital, dying of nothing.
#3 All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.
