it's different because i target different areas on different days.

eg the ad has 4 contact points: feet and hands.

but one can change the intensity of the movements and the angles of attack.

height of the seat, for simple example.

mat work opens the world of yoga

the ball is unstable, like me.

clubs are like free weights - the movement is the same, but never exact.

moving wood is farmer strength work.

functional fitness !

the latest on covid vulnerability i have seen is obese, unfit, old, in that order.

and old is only in there because so many old folks are fat and unfit.

other co morbidity, too, but fat and feeble lead the list.

nota bene:carrying more weight than desirable is not necessarily fat and unfit.

and they are something one can do something about.

we are taking our beach walks, depending on time and tide.

it is a wonderful place to be.

i beachcomb, NC exer-walks

the shore is bounded by rivers on each end, so while she is making the entire circuit, i am making half.

it's my knees, don't you know.

as years go by, it seems to me that the shells are seasonal.

today thirty sand dollars.

riches, indeed.

today was one of those 0fors.

tried to pay some bills on the net.

they want folks to let them make regular withdrawals from accounts, and we won't.

so they make it almost impossible to make payments.

and of course, USPS, the world's best example why public workers should not be permitted to unionize, simply is not delivering the mail in Maine.

So one gets the bill after the pay by date.

and can't get onto the account on the net to find out what the amount is, much less pay it.

ARRGH !

[Smoke]

I feel your pain with USPS
They suck like everything else the government puts its hands on.

[Smoke]

Not much for exercise other than steps. Maybe Santa will bring me some motivation for Christmas.

Didn’t lose this holiday season like others but I didn’t gain either!

Parts feeling pretty good overall, usually I get pretty beat up this time of year from work.

[fish]

away for a few days visiting the little one.

what a delight.

exercise has consisted of playing with a 3 year old.

functional fitness comes in handy.

i agree that it is a difficult time to stay focused on any one thing.

the news and reviews are simply too bad.

the people who want us to trust them lie to us consistently.

bewildered means lost in the wilderness.

benighted means caught out at nightfall.

i feel bewildered and benighted.

the world is a dark and scary place.

except when i'm playing with my 3 year old.
