I was trying to do a little exercise this morningwhistlebut I realized that I can barely bend down and touch my toes anymoreblush.
Yesterday I had to run for the bus and I was huffing and puffing....."No I'm not overweight and I quit smoking 2 years ago".
I'm in bed by no later than 8 pm on a Friday night and ready to get up by 1am....they say when you get older you don't need a lot of sleep.
I roll around till I finally get up around 3am on my day offangry.
Any signs of old age attacking you?

happyNot yet sweetie, but why don't you just take it slow with a small amount of exercise in the morning. whistleBy the time you have to run for the bus again, you won't have to huff and puff anymore. And for the sleep, change your hours, that should help a bit. happyTATA.

I had to run again today too but I had better shoes on so it was a little better and I'm practicing touching my toes now... I can do it but it hurts my backwhistle

Hi Miss, have a nice day!have a nice day

I will be 69 this July and am able to touch my toes with my fingers- is it OK?
I sleep about 7 hours- who says old age doesn't need sleep? If you have a peaceful mind, sleep embraces you.

Take care at 48! Keep smiling!happy

Hi Miss, staying healthy is in our hands! Where you can't exercise the body due to paucity of time, you should read your mind & quieten it! A healthy mind is a healthy body and vice versa also true! We must look after ourself, if we become sick, our work will never come to our help! Take care!
Keep smiling!happy

The reason for not getting your body bent to touch the toes is to say that you are not accustomed to exercise,and may be to be fit you might have started. If a regular practice of doing exercise is there then it is very easy to touch the toes and also we can rest our head between the knees.

Age doesn't matter here only practice matters - well yes by natures command (process) we get old but if we are habituated to have positive thoughts then we are young until our last breath.

You know your getting old when You put your teeth in a glass every night. You look for your glasses and they are on your head. When it takes you twice as long to do what you used to do twice as long. You have to get up at least twice every night to go to the loo. You know your getting old when your favorite tv show or movie gets to the most interesting part and you close your eyes and the show is over.

Heyya missybear! I do a lot of stretching and that helps with the muscles and being limber. I have noticed a few things though. My neck and back ache sometimes. I am also much more willing to take a nap than ever before..lol..I don't get a chance to do it as much as I would like though.
