I am 47 and tired of repeating this cycle !

Hi Darrell, There are so many different sports and excerises we all can do to suit you, the trick is to find once that suit you better. I have knee problems so i can not run much and at times find it hard to bend due to the pain. I have now been given pain killers which eases the pain and now i walk alot more.

For me, walking is my thing..... Yes, walking can be boring, but it can also be fun too. I have my I-pod on every time i walk, and to make it fun, i set goals.... today i going to walk to this road........when i get here, i'm going to jog up the hill....as i'm jogging up i shout to myself ...do it, do it , you can do it... or whatever comes to mine to get me up that or those hills... i then set another goal to walk to here or there and before i know it i am where i said i was going to be.... My son called me when i was on one of my walks, he asked me "what i was doing", i told him i was walking from the Hospital -Home, he laugh out lollllllll and told me i was crazy, but at the sometime knew i could and would do it. We conitued talking and every now and then it would ask me where i was at. Before i knew it i was home. Walking is most differently my thing and it doesn't cost a penny, but can help to lose pounds.

I hope this makes sense and helps you. i am pretty sure you will find something that suits you. All the best...
