The Man is constantly won over by different exercise machines advertised in the press and TV. He bought a Cross Trainer thing some years ago which resided in the garage and the one time I geared myself up to use it, it threw me off backwards and put my back out! The Man never used it enough and when we moved house it was sent to a young nephew fitness freak. I will dance as much as you like and walk for miles quite happily and that will have to do.Masia Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01081444074657171832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-884235015796031442.post-59430136644443032552010-11-23T11:49:12.867+00:002010-11-23T11:49:12.867+00:00Hi LindyLou.

He didn't have a clue what it was, and couldn't understand why myself, daughter, son-inlaw and granddaughter started to jump up and down in excitement! My favourite is the Ten Pin Bowling as well. My son-in -law gets very upset, as I always win!!Southhamsdarlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12285980805569582676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-884235015796031442.post-1929663696246858932010-11-23T11:34:21.771+00:002010-11-23T11:34:21.771+00:00The Grandchildren will love it!

I lost 52 pounds when I met Bruce just from being active again. Now that we are older and I've got the aches and pains issue I have put it all back on. My knees are screaming at me lately but until I get disability/insurance I can't do a thing. My mailbox looks like it's 2 miles away when I contemplate walking to it. How sad huh? We should try something though for the new year.BBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09432729957196570774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-884235015796031442.post-80273642466557636512010-11-22T15:30:34.901+00:002010-11-22T15:30:34.901+00:00Jumble Mash - it's that word again, isn't ...Jumble Mash - it's that word again, isn't it - motivation!

How ever I admit to not being it on it every day as I am supposed to, something else always seems to get my attention instead! Blogging no of course not, seriously though it is great and I would not want to be without it. Favourite at the moment is Yoga and step exercises, will discuss more when you get yours.
