Ack! If nobody else wants the large navy sweatshirt, I'll

take it. But now it's lecture time...

Up from behind the keyboards, bend and reach. When this

thread started, I worried about the sizes being mentioned.

I see the same problem with some of my coworkers and those

in the comm centers nearby. I've seen too many in for

by-pass surgery in their 30s or worse, AMI at 40.

One of the benefits of working in public safety is free use

of the department's gym and most health clubs give huge

discounts for public safety (Golds, for example). We all

need to take advantage of those opportunities. It's not

just how long you live but the quality of life. Get up an

hour early or stay for half an hour and shower when you get

home. Pump some iron. Walk. Jog. Run. Swim. Row.

You'll feel better, look better, won't get sick as often...

It's hard starting. It's harder restarting. I fell off my

roof 3 years ago, broke my shoulder, spent a year in rehab',

and I still can't bench my body weight... but I'm getting

close again. When I get off work, I head down to the weight

room (we don't have a full gym) for an hour and leave

feeling great. I'll never be in the same shape I was when

I was in the Army. I loved running circles around the 20-

year-olds. They hated the days when I lead the physical

training formations, even when I was over 40. I'm slowing

down but still kicking, planning to compete in the 'Grand

Master' (over 50) class next year for powerlifting.

My daughter made me do it. She looks almost too good in a

bathing suit even though she weighs 170... but it's all

muscle. Most people who just look at her guess her weight

as 125. She's the current Virginia record holder for WPF

(World Powerlifting Federation) in the squat for under 181

pound women and took second in the High School, Teenage,

and Junior Women's divisions at the Nationals in Fort Hood,

TX earlier this year. She benches 60K (132 lb) and squats

110 (244 lb), plays soccer, and is going cannoeing with me

on Friday.

If old men and teenage girls can do it, so can you!

Tree, I only wish someone had given me that lecture 8 years ago. I was able

to walk run and exercise then, just didn't want to. Oh yeah, I walked on

the treadmill every now and then, but sitting and reading was my preferred

hobby. Now I have no choice. Left ankle, right knee....don't work. I

have taken shots of about everything the orthopedic surgeon can throw at me,

and still, no go. The Synvex (sp?) shots did help my left knee a whole lot,

but it looks like the right one is going to have to be replaced. Oh, to

dance again somewhere other than my dreams. Our job is a stagnant one, so

all of you who have the ability ...LISTEN TO TREE!!! Get off your duffs,

PLEASE, and just take a short walk. Tomorrow, add just a little more, and

so forth. Do it while you are physically able, cause believe me, you never

know when the ability will be taken from you. Done lecturing.

I remember someone on the list mentioning physical assessments for

dispatchers. Does anyone have that information?

Thanks,

I use the Biblical approach to exercise.

1 4:8-9

(8) For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is

profitable for all things, having promise of the life that

now is and of that which is to come. (9) This is a faithful

saying and worthy of all acceptance.

I've been saying that if I do get the dispatching job I will join a health

club. Can't really afford it until then. I know if I sit at my job I will

need to do something. If I'm home I won't exercise properly.

So, let me get this straight. In 1992, , Inc., got a copyright

on the Bible? Even if it is the " new King Version " , I'm a little weak

on this. Maybe they should call it the Version, then maybe I

could understand. So, if someone quotes Jesus from their version, they

could be sued for copyright infringement. Let's see, " And Jesus sayith go

forth and protecteth the Word. Hire an abundance of lawyers and sueth

often. " Get outta here.
