Guest guest Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Hi folks: IIRC, in those two videos, all the subjects were in wheel chairs. Since we can reasonably hope that a few of us will live to a truly great age, you might say that those videos argue quite strongly for the need to maintain our strength, agility and flexibility if we want to enjoy life to the full after 110! And it does seem that the best way to achieve that may be through 'appropriate' exercise. Unless someone has a better idea? Would anyone care to define 'appropriate exercise for CRON'? Preferably with some evidence to support the view. Rodney. > > Hi All, > > Super centenarians are super.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Another personal point of view: Being 110 years old seems like it would be no fun if I was sitting in my wheel chair, looking back on a life without adventure. If I couldn't be I'd be remembering, for example - the view from the top Mt. Whitney - because I didn't want to eat the calories to physically train to get there, then it would not be the life I had wanted to live. Diane > > > > Hi All, > > > > Super centenarians are super.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Hi Diane: But there are very very worthwhile activities, worth looking back upon, that do not require mountains of calories : ^ ))) Rodney. > > Hi folks: > > > > IIRC, in those two videos, all the subjects were in wheel chairs. > > > > Since we can reasonably hope that a few of us will live to a truly > > great age, you might say that those videos argue quite strongly for > > the need to maintain our strength, agility and flexibility if we want > > to enjoy life to the full after 110! > > > > And it does seem that the best way to achieve that may be > > through 'appropriate' exercise.
