If I Only had a Brain...

He's not THAT old and frail

Dude...I'm on the + side of 70. Maybe not "frail" but definitely busted up.

Well, apparently you are stronger than Hulk Hogan

I was...but I showered earlier.

[This is an almost hilarious thread, even if I didn't want anyone to laugh at Boomer.]

I'm wondering if I should try doing my daily mile backward, but I'd want a pair of those glasses that give you eyes in the back of your head . .

Well, that's it. I'm out of Folgers Coffe-fe, and I want another lb of sausage to make another batch of Bolognese sauce, so I'm headed out to the grocery. I'm not sure walking backward in the grocery store aisles is a safer idea than the park trail . . .

I dunno . . . I'm hungry. I can see getting fat-burger during this circuit at the drive-thru. Back to the Bolognese sauce: Freakin' tomatoes just keep on comin' in the darn garden, and the cucumbers -- I've got so many jars of dill pickles I don't know what to do. Maybe I'll just grill my own fat-burger and use some dill pickles . . . .

Hell...if you can't laugh at yourself...make fun of other people.

You can always donate your surplus produce to an area food bank...

I know some people(online) that endorse walking backward. Not health nuts. Just people that beat the shit out of themselves at their daily jobs. Never did it myself, and I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for people with beat knees; at least not without a professional consultation, but if you're in otherwise decent shape, it might be interesting to try. Maybe some place safe like a school track, where the terrain is even, and moving dangers are minimal.

It can be done indoors too. I do it that way, just walking back and forth across the room. It is a bit disorienting and if you do it too fast, it could lead to imbalance or falling.

Walking backward may have link to increased cognition

My father is 74 years old. He wants to stay healthy, so he has started taking a fitness class at his local community center. One of the exercises they do is to walk backward. The instructor says it’s good for your body, and also for cognition. Do you know if this is actually true?
