My wife and I enjoy walking, other than that, I no longer do much exercise.

On the other hand, I do like exercising my mind.

It's all about moving. My Nan lived to be 104 and that was her montra. Even at that age she did wieghts and one of those bike peddles in her chair. Now that my foot is better I am back to functional walking and dancing. Have a nice day today.

I walk every day with Ernie. We walk close to 4 miles a day. I LOVE that I am able to do this, it makes me feel so good mentally, physically and helps me sleep!!!
