Any of you guys Over 60? I get plenty of exercise just cleaning up the house after my semi invalid little woman makes a heck of a mess, but when feeling sparky I have a full set of every universal gym there is I think, all free from folks who bought them and gave up the body tuning and thus gave them away or hauled to the dump. Some of my grinding and buffing equipment is made from treadmill motors, shafts and bearings.

Now you take an old guy like me with replaced knees and other parts, the exercise takes on new meaning to no pain no gain, becomes lots of pain and some if little gain, but ya have to smile and keep after it or lose "IT". I like it when young ladies hit on me and say No way are you 60.

Nope, I'm not over 60, but it sounds like you're in pretty good spirits for being. You're only as old as you feel, right? Good luck with your program!
