Happy Exercising!!!!!!!!!!!!! Physical exercise is good for you. I know that I should do it daily, but my body doesn't want me to do too much, so I have worked out this program of strenuous activities that do not require physical exercise.You are invited to use my program without charge.

1) Beating around the bush 2) Jumping to conclusions 3) Climbing the walls 4) Swallowing my pride 5) Passing the buck 6) Throwing my weight around 7) Dragging my heels Pushing my luck 9) Making mountains out of molehills 10) Hitting the nail on the head 11) Wading through paperwork 12) Bending over backwards 13) Jumping on the bandwagon 14) Balancing the books 15) Running around in circles 16) Eating crow 17) Tooting my own horn 1 Climbing the ladder of success 19) Pulling out the stops 20) Adding fuel to the fire 21) Opening a can of worms 22) Putting my foot in my mouth 23) Starting the ball rolling 24) Going over the edge 25) Picking up the pieces

Ha! Great way to exercise. I always try to jump to at least ten conclusions before breakfast.

In all seriousness, I broke down and bought an exercise bike (on deep discount at Sears), one of those foam steps at Wal-Mart (sporting goods section), and several used exercise tapes (from the 1/2 Price Bookstore -- I'll recycle them there when it's time).

I've been doing a much better job at doing 20 minutes daily of either biking or stepping since I set this stuff up in my living room. I know the decor isn't going to win any prices, but I don't have very much company from Jan - April, anyhow.

But should hold a lot of clothes when you quit using it. We gave away the rowing machine but kept the cycle because it holds so many clothes.

When I no longer use my cycle, I'll sell it at Play It Again Sports or at a garage sale. My mom used to hang clothes on her cycle. I got $80 when I sold it for her. That was enough to re-do her closet, making room for the clothes she was keeping on the bike.

Lacking Barefoot's 80 degree weather and $28/mo for a health club, I'd say my cycle is a good buy for now. At least I don't have to put up with icy roads or stinky, sweaty guys while I'm using it.

I have one of those air glider things, I like it, and then a rowing type thing...and a stair stepper, but now we just walk....I do use the air glider though, as it is fun to use!

Um, I was kidding.

Ok, OG. I didn't take it as a joke, though, since I know a great many people who only use their exercise equipment for a few weeks and then make it into a clothes hanger. I don't know how long I'm going to stay with this step-aerobics stuff, but I enjoy riding my bike and I have some motivation to do it because I enjoy cycling on the paved trails in the summer, and this will help keep me in shape for that. I know how much I hurt at the start of cycling season if I let myself go too much during the winter! OUCHIE!! I hope to avoid a lot of that pain this time around.

we have a bike path for miles just up the rd. (wish it was a bridal path) ... we are close the an Equine center, but we still have to trailer them to get there.

LOLOLOL! Sar You are TOO much. That's BRIDLE not BRIDAL! Sorry, but the image is so funny. I read it right after the bit about mounting mirrors. I have a sick mind. It comes from hanging around Carl.

I know why SAR typed Bridal . . . (:

She's trying to find a husband for me. She's worried that I spend too much time alone with computers and scanners. She's worried that I might learn enough about programming to construct a true "virtual boyfriend" -- remember the scam? -- and flood the internet with it.

I'm kidding, SAR. (;

But she told me to keep an eye out for one for you...

LOL, Barefoot!

Well, he'll have to move to Ohio, Barefoot. How many guys in FL would willingly move to Ohio? I think I'm safe. (;
