Exercise Program

Augustus

 

Is jumping to conclusion a good exercise? With all the hype around fitness I've been laying in weight and running from obligations. Experts claim staying in shape with an activity like cycling lifts your spirits. I agree and do 12 ounce Corona curls daily. Ain't that lifting spirits? And cycling, my nephew comes by once a week on his bike to pick up the cans. My wife makes sure I walk the line when I throw my weight around. As a senior citizen I resist, exercise my rights, and try to give a squat about something. Aren't I bench pressing when I sit in the park? Sometimes I agree with Jack LaLane, especially when I struggle to lift my drawers up or down. I've been raising eyebrows, shrugging my shoulders and making an effort to get a grip as I cruise on by the Gym. My doc is warning me about balance and danger of falling and recommended pretending I am walking on a beam. Hell I think I'm doing alright after a pint of Jim Beam finding my way home. Have a good day.

              Your exercise program wears me out thinking about it, Augustus! Slow down!

                Oh !! Augustus this is
                Just so very good
                I absolutely love it...
                My wife is always
                Trying to get to go to
                gym.... I keep
                Telling her I know
                No one of that name..
                She doesn't seem to
                Listen......

                  Good fun write. I get plenty of exercise, I raise my cups of tea and coffee up and down to my lips many times a day.

                    Coffee here, but I'll tolerate your habit. Uber driver from Iraq made black tea with cardamom sound worth a try. Thanks.
