I'm 81 but since I had my heart bypass operation I've been doing more exercising than I have in years. I swear I feel like I'm getting younger instead of older. Starting last week I now carry a 25 pound backpack when I do my daily walks. I don't jog because I've seen too many older folks blow out a knee doing that.
Good For You Hoodat! Keep it up and we will be calling you Benjamin Button. ;)

Hoodat - 25lbs! Yikes! How far do you walk? I feel like I've accomplished something when I toss a 50lb bag of feed on my shoulder and cross the yard.
That hat has GOT to be helping!
Where can I get me one of them?
:D

I only walk 3 miles, which isn't all that much but my usual route is on a steep hill. I've found that when carrying any weight it's easier to go up the hill than down.
If I revealed the secret of the hat I'd be hunted down by the aliens. Don't forget the antenna. That's very important. :rolleyes:
