I just completed my in-home re-hab sessions. I am very pleased that I have a series of simple exercises that are easy and kind of fun. My physical therepist, Jackie, shown here completing my final report, gave me a series of exercises for the lower body and is seen here completing my graduation papers.My exercise equipment is the back of a dining room chair and two cans of soup - one for each hand - cream of asparagus, chicken and noodles, and/or mix or match. Tina suggested that you can start out slow by making it cans of tuna instead.
Jackie is shown supervising my "ballet exercises" of kicking legs to theI front, side, back and a cool sliding dip with deep knee bends. So Helen took this photo of the action - one of her few chances of revenge.
When I saw the photo, I went into severe shock and trauma. I wanted to hide with the cats under the bed. For the first time, I realized that the illnesses that have overcome me are not to blame - I'm just OLD! Where did the years between 40 and 80 go?
Anyway, I am making a major concession in letting you see this image of me - Ayyyyyyeeeeee! It's the least I can do to show you that physical conditions of the aged can be somewhat corrected by the discipline of simple and easy exercises.
"For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come." (1Timothy 4:8)
Paul is saying that exercise should not be an obsession over godliness, which pertains to the wellness of the soul and spirit. But it is no less important to the body. So - pick up those cans of soup, grab ahold of that chair and kick.
