  • I'm from Germany. As everyone mentioned, a lot of walking and climbing stairs is required. In most places in the US we have no choice but to get in our cars to go anywhere.

  • Yay! New courage! Pav8888 mentioned measurement. One inch off waist and one inch off hips even though no additional weight loss. BP 150's over 90's today - thinking out of the stroke zone.

  • that's easy - My children don't live nearby, and I don't get to see them very often. I'm 70, so I want to see my grandchildren when I can - well, my children also.

  • HI, I'm 70 and here for the same reason as you. I can no longer do really stressful workouts, but I found some cd's I can work with by Ann Smith. Bending and stretching works for me.
