I looked at YMCA memberships today, what a shock!

I've heard of Pilates and that looks like a site that has good information, I just buzzed by and bookmarked it. Thank you!

I saw a very interesting interview of a fitness instructor and he was saying a lot of the trouble people have these days is they just don't do simple movement of the discs and joints in the body. he said the discs and joints need simple movement to his words were to oil these parts or they lock up, so he showed the exercisers and they were just very simple movements just for a few minutes going from top to toe hrdly moving at all...

LOL! The idea of our schools here having pools is, sadly, funny. But it was a good suggestion, I know a lot of schools have pools nowadays. I've had some good exercise suggestions I'm going to investigate. We do have a public pool, maybe they'll have a time for us old people to get wet without being overrun by all those young whippersnappers!

I hadn't thought of yoga, to tell the truth. I was thinking more aerobic stuff but of course most of that is out of the question for me. Yoga does help build muscles and muscles use a lot of energy even when you're at rest so that's a great idea! I had an above ground pool when I was married and the maintenance about killed me. Brushing, vac'ing--the robot never got it all--the chemicals, and on and on! I'd rather not. Besides, here it is May and it's 50 degrees! Don't think I'd get much use out of it! Thanks for the yoga suggestion, I can tell between you and the first reply that I need to go to the library!
