Re: I'm new and checking in

When the day comes that my kids are grown and no longer need me I want to be able to enjoy my life with my husband, not spend my golden years in and out of doctor visits.

Keep that thought. I agree with it 100%. Jack and Elaine Allan are in their 70s?, 80s? and are healthy mentally, physically, emotionally, etc. As far as I know they do not have Cancer, Arthritis, Diabetes, MS, obesity, hypertension, heart disease, etc. I bought one of his and her aqua aerobics tapes and they are doing exercises that I cannot even do (I am 44 years old).

I exercise doing Tae-Bo, aqua aerobics, Pilaties, strength training, and jogging. I exercise six days a week and I feel great.

My goal is to be 70+ years old and have the health Jack and Elaine Allan do in their 70s. This beats being unable to take care of myself in a hospital or nursing home ill.

Sincerely,

C.
