70 is not too old for aerobics.
« on: Aug 13, 2018, 10:21:38 PM »

A lady asked if I thought I was a bit old for aerobics.
I am only 70 and a half.
There is no written maximum age.
I want to do aerobics for another 50 years.
People will be saying I an too old for the 4am running club next.

Like you I'm still fine with the kick boxing but my lumbago had forced me to cut back on the cage fighting.

I've given up on the Pole Dancing.. My boobs obscured my vision when I hung upside down..
I can still do Lap Dancing though because that is just sitting around..
Everything will be alright in the end, and if it’s not alright, its not the end.

Brian,
You're a paragon, you really are.
The only thing you could improve on is to let us see you in the flesh - not literally, in the flesh, that would be altogether too familiar. 
So this very morning I've written to the BBC to see if we can get you a permanent fifteen minute slot on the Victoria Derbyshire show - I've suggested they call it The Life of Brian Slot. The Stale Pale Old White Male who hands out sage advice to other pensioners (pensioners? is there a risk of being accused of being youthist there) on finance, family, social and fitness. 
In my letter I told the BBC, in no uncertain terms, how it is long overdue that we saw more of Pensioners on the BOX.  Frankly I'm sick and tired of the same old staple of stick thin twenty something skimpily clad females talking about something called Love Island.  What do these people know about real life, Brian, hey?

I only wish I had known what these Love Island 20-yr-olds know when I was a 20-yr-old.

They should do a Love Island with us oldies, where it's the bloke with his own teeth who gets the women.

Brian did share a few moments with me and I have posted them before but perhaps some missed them.


First was the Elf aerobics class



Then the time he tried out in the cheerleaders class (he did decide this was not for him iirc)



And finally the snapshot of him completing a 4:00am 500 yard dash competition at about 8:00am assisted by other members who had graciously given up their time waiting for him to finish.

As long as you can do it, then you can do it.

You're never too old for aerobics.   I favour extreme, maniacal Pat a cake, pat a cake baker's man, myself.

The above will start you off, but remember you must go really wild and violent with it and add a few kicks. Oh and do it with small kids, in case you get hurt. ;D ;D ;D


p.s that woman on the vid. will probably make you violent.

My mother was doing aerobics at 83 and died 2 hours later.
I am not sure if that last class did her health any good at the end but she did enjoy herself which was the main thing.

I think I'll stick to my lane swimming 5 days a week. 😳

I tried Patty Cake but I had to stop when we got to "roll it up". Far too hard.

I too tried Patty Cake..  The pace was too quick for me..
Much prefer  The Wheels on the Bus...

The only patty cake I'd associate with this thread is the sort you can tread in if not looking where you are walking in the fields. Highly appropriate it is too.
