The "Iron Nun"~~ Yikes This Woman Puts Me To Shame  

my sis could probably do the swim...

Reading this I feel more ashamed then you cos I think I have a body of an 80 years old but with a face of a 40+ woman. I have been more conscious of my looks then that of my body. I take great care of the upper part but neglected the parts below the neck. I have been saying many times that I would start a tough exercise regime to stay healthy and fit but never seems to materialize. I always think that I am still physically strong and exercise has no importance in my daily agenda. Now you make me feel like jumping to the wagon and start exercising right away. Yes, put me on the list with you so we'll jog till we are breathless. I definitely see the good that comes with consistent exercise. Who wouldn't want to stay evergreen with no complain? I would love to avail myself to any form of exercise if it means that I would stay fit and healthy till my ripe old age.

tell ya what, whatever activity you start, start without me and let me know how it was! good grief, she puts me to shame. i would probably drop over dead of a heart attack if i attempted to do what she does! LOL

Hi pye,

I gave up wondering why some people like Iron Nun can do what she does and I walk with a cane at age 59 and still feel in my heart like I'm 10 years younger. I just recently admitted to myself that I'm not the healthy person I've always wanted to be. I woke up this morning with my hand frozen with numbness and excruciating pain because I forgot to wear my brace. I'm finally realizing that that's life and have no desire to run any race. BTW 30 sit ups is nothing to balk at! So you walk your few blocks and do your 30 situps and feel good about it. We are all made of different stuff. Hugssss
leenie

Well Pye if you manage 30 sit ups a day and a walk you are doing way better than me! Watching this amazing woman on the video I feel more than ashamed; I am so lazy! I am a person who is always on the go but as far as exercising... I am embarrassed to say that my fitness level is probably that of an elderly woman and I am still in my forties! Shame on me and good on you Sister Madonna!
Yeah, sure I'll come jogging, yeah, really...

"Not I," said the little red hen...

*Raises hand*

Just kidding, of course. I couldn't go that much on any of them! Like you said about yourself, riding my bike, I think it's a good day if I go just a mile! lol There's no way I could run twenty-six miles. I can't even run a mile. And I'm a good bit younger than she is myself as well.

It does inspire me to do better with exercising, that's for sure. I might not ever be able to go the distance she does, but who knows. Still it does make me want to do more haha.

It figures she's a nun! She should have passed those great genes down the family tree!

I gave your last question some thought... how many of you could... you know. Well, I think I could get about 2 feet in the running competition. I MIGHT just get 10 or so feet in the swimming thing and cycling? Maybe one revolution; one and one half on a good day.

Anywho, good for her!!! It's so very awesome to hear of older folks who haven't let age slow them down. Of course, many of us old fogies have physical problems that have slowed us down but there are some who have no major complaints who use age as an excuse to slow down. I applaud this woman for giving life her all!

Wow thats great
and I do enough trying to keep up with a 4 year old.
Now I love swimming but know I didnt swim that far when I was younger lol
Yup lets jog 26 miles today in our minds!
