[QUOTE="ridgewalker, post: 2789788, member: 55998"] You guys are making me feel bad that nothing is wrong with me! At 75 years young and living at 5,000 feet I work out 3 days a week. Sets of 25 squats on an upside down Bosu ball have helped my legs and balance a lot. A couple of single leg balance/strength exercises and calf raises. Then super sets for upper body. Ending my regimen with lots of stretches including Indian/Asian sitting between several exercises. I haven’t treated myself well. Severed all 4 tendons in my right rotator in a Moab mountain biking. Miserable 7 miles biking out one armed. Broke a leg back country skiing and got myself out driving a manual transmission truck out of the mountains. Blown out ACL alpine skiing. Guess I’m a bit clumsy. Severed a tendon in each forearm. LOL! Having an acre of land, I also garden a lot shoveling/hauling/spreading mulch and compost, digging, planting, transplanting, etc, etc. I live a charmed life I guess. Every day I think about being blessed by my health. You guys are all an inspiration to me! Keep up the good work! [/QUOTE]
