Walk and live forever?

Get back to me in fifty years and let's know how that went for you. :cool:

I should be set to kark about next Thursday in that case, can't walk much further than the kitchen and back lately.:biggrin-new:

Geez... I sure do hope that it's true Poppy.... I do enough steps to put me in the 120 year old bracket. (I wish)

Not exactly what you call a walker but I sure do walk enough in my day to day life, tinkering, pottering, gardening, bicycle, shopping, working part time and so on.
I'm rarely still except when I'm sitting at the 'pewter.

 
What they don't tell you is that it isn't an unlimited deal. Unfortunately you can't start walking 8 hours a day and expect to end up back in the 19th century.

It only applies toward the total of 2.5 hours weekly walking time recommended by a Harvard School of Public Health study. Given that level of exercise and depending upon your general level of fitness you theoretically can extend your life-span by anywhere from 2-1/2 to 7 years.

They don't mention what the stats are for being run over by cars, trucks and bicycles while out walking, nor do they take into account drop-bear attacks.
 
Also, won't live all that long if a thug comes along and knocks you to the ground (or worse) over any valuables he may think you are carrying! ..
Life in the big city ... :what:
 
I walk in spurts. I'll be good and walk daily for several weeks and then burn out or the weather gets impossible. But I always start back, eventually.
 
Oh my goodness. When I was young I used to have an ink stamp with that Keep on Truckin' graphic. I stamped my books and notebooks with it.
 
Have been shown a great path behind us that leads up and around a hill finishing with a great view and am waiting, waiting, waiting for my leg to start feeling better so I can enjoy the walk. When I got out of the service and came home in 1970, spent many a day walking through the woods by myself. It was really peaceful.

Would any kind of brace or splint let you do the walking? They make so many different types, for every problem. ??

Stretching and muscle exercises are the ticket. Naturally, after things felt better, I let the routine get away from me. Hoping to get back on track one of these "daze". Used a cane for awhile when it first slowed me down but there are no other things that help.

On a side note: Have a friend who they dropped off the stretcher during a hot dustoff. It messed up his arm and he wore a complicated contraption for it. Then, one day . . . he crashed his motorcycle and viola his arm was fixed! Don't know if I wanna take that cure for my leg. It works fine for a long time and then reminds me of its trouble for awhile...
