Who's on the DL?

For those reasons I vote for walking.

The downside to swimming is that it doesn't help at all for bone building. Bone loss after a certain age is not only a problem for women. It happens for men too. That's a reason that a broken hip is a known risk for seniors.

With golf ya can walk & get some swings in with a club to boot.

Ya can even do some figurin while playin which could exercise the noggin if ya let it.

Weight lifting, skiing, roller skiing, running, walking. All weight-bearing exercises. Cycling is good aerobic exercise, but it's not weight-bearing.

Then how come my butt hurts sometimes when I ride?

Whatabout pedaling when yer off the seat?

Just being exposed to gravity gives ya weight.
Thinkabout the astronauts.
Skiing gives ya extra g’s. YMMV.

Hey... suffering builds character.

Whatabout pedaling when yer off the seat?

Probably not weight bearing.

Yup

Probably not weight bearing.

Taint weightless till ya go airborne.
Weight = Mass × Gravity

...Folks completed pretty much a mirror image of the last procedure today with the same team just working on the opposite eye.
Discussed joys of petting dogs with the lady who gave me the massages pre-op, of which she has 2 rescues, Told her I bet yer dogs are spoiled. She laughed. Even got a toe squeeze as she exited.
Hope to be back in the saddle again soon.
Tail is wagging.

Got good early Christmas present today.

Got a good check up by the team with a good to go skiing from the surgeon after he checked both eyes today.
I haven’t skied over The Holidays since I retired. Just figured let the other folks have at it. Should beat last year’s late start when I was a gimp.

Post in thread 'Song Conditions'

Jan 30, 2024

Skied Song this morning till before 1 with my new boards after picking up my pass.
I think it might be the latest start to a ski season for me even when I lived in Oxford Ms.
High 20s, no wind, flat light, no lines.
Did more turns than usual as was practicing with the new boards with braced knee.
The heavier old RTM’s may have been a better choice for the snow conditions. Dense groomed edgeable. No ice. There were lines of PP.
Lab may have been a better choice as it was open yesterday and most likely got more beat up then.
Good to be back outdoors skiing. The drive through the woods with...

The knee got better last year the more I skied, mainly lots of turns.

Thinking of night skiing again to boot, when warranted. It’s gonna be sparkly.
Skiing is fun.

I am 60, still jogging 2.25 miles 3 times a week. It helps keep me sane. I end up dropping down to twice a week during ski season because I lose jogging on Saturdays. The other days of the week are for yoga. Some people think that yoga is easy. There is a yoga teacher at Cornell who is in her 70s and still rocking arm balances and teaching a core and more class. If you haven't tried yoga, I strongly suggest it. It's a good way to stay flexible, strong and challenge yourself.
