Guest guest Posted April 27, 2000 Report Share Posted April 27, 2000 Hello I don & #8217;t understand this mania some people have about exercise and sports. Of course it is healthy to take fresh air and go for a nice walk when you have been cooped up a whole day in an office or at home, but in my humble opinion sport and exercise should only be done if you enjoy it, not because you MUST. I think that a housewife with kids, pets and a garden gets enough exercise without having to go to some gym where you have to pay for jumping up and down, get sweaty and icky and sore muscles. How can you expect your endorphins to get out when you are doing something you don & #8217;t enjoy? You & #8217;ll have understood that I & #8217;m not fond of exercise. When you have a condition like ours I thinks strenuous exercises are bad. If I have a car with some parts which don & #8217;t function too well because they are old or damaged, and I cannot replace them, I & #8217;m not going to drive it at high speed or change gears every two minutes. I & #8217;ll treat it carefully and gently, taking care of the oil, break fluid and water so it will last longer. In our family we could say: & #8220;You are what you drive. & #8221; My husband, in excellent health, just bought a new Berlingo and I have a five year old, second hand Twingo. But we both get to where we want. So if you feel worse exercising, stop doing it. By the way, pulling weeds bent over from the waist is killing. If you cannot do it with a cushion under your knees get yourself a & #8220;fisher & #8217;s stool & #8221; a little round stool with one pointed leg which you stick in the ground. Wishing you all the best and don & #8217;t forget the endorphins only wake up when you laugh or do something you enjoy. Greetings. Margaretha.
