Huh! I can’t believe what I’m seeing! That chick on the computer. Her shoes are all wrong for that outfit.

@Jody

Yeah I figured you’d be doing most of this. And love the new name… fit at “almost” 52. Any plans for the big day?

Interesting about the water and execs. I started reading about benefits of water when I was just a wee lad, and placebo or not, I’m a huge believer.

Thanks for comment!

I REALLY want to meet your stretching model… Could learn a thing or two from her!

BTW – I’ve also tied water consumption to success. Watch the successful execs in any company, and most of them are carrying a bottle of water with them everywhere. It was an observation I made years ago. Ever since then, I doubled up on my water intake.

Great post Rick!

Wow, hack squats! That is a brutal exercise Jody. When I was 15, I tweaked my back pretty bad doing those…never did them again.

I don’t currently take fish oil, but I am a proponent of supplements. I’m an old fashioned believer in the virtues of Vitamin C…yeah, really. That in Vitamin E seem to work for me when I feel like the body needs a boost in healing powers of all types.

Thanks for the comments!

PS: I forgot to say that I rarely get injured but years ago I went against my own advice & talked to a lady asking me a question while I was on the hack squat.. NOT GOOD! This was a pretty bad injury, moving around wise BUT I got right to my pelvic tilts which I could barely get myself off the floor to being back to normal in 1 week. So, there ya go!

Also, thx for the pic of you for us gals!Well, in my case, oldie but goodie!

I feel pretty good after this since I am doing most of it! Yahoo!

I have really bad feet & they got worse with age so I do work on balance!

AND stretching, big time! I even wrote about it today! The older I got, the more important my bod needed it cause this does decrease with age & I work every day to keep flexibility up the best I can. When I was younger, it was so easy! UGH, age!

I work big time on core strength & I work my back separately too & again, so important with age!

Love the post! Hey, do you take fish oil like FJ? He said it makes his joints feel much better & age certainly takes it toll on our joints!

Thanks Tra. Running is brutal because of the pounding for sure…stretching, balance (technique), proper rest, and hydration are all huge for runners!

Thanks for comment!
