The Importance of Walking

 

Walking can add minutes to your life.

***

This enables you at 85 years old to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing home at $7000 per month.

***

My grandpa started walking five miles a day when he was 60..

Now he's 97 years old and we don't know where the hell he is.

***

I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.

***

The only reason I would take up walking is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.

***

I have to walk early in the morning, before my brain figures out what I'm doing..

***

I joined a health club last year, spent about 400 bucks.

Haven't lost a pound.  Apparently you have to go there.

***

Every time I hear the dirty word 'exercise', I wash my mouth out with chocolate.

***

I do have flabby thighs, but fortunately my stomach covers them.

***

The advantage of exercising every day is so when you die, they'll say, 'Well, she looks good doesn't she.'

***

If you are going to try cross-country skiing, start with a small country.

***

I know I got a lot of exercise the last few years,....

just getting over the hill.

***

You could run this over to your friends but why not just e-mail it to them!

***

We all get heavier as we get older, because there's a lot more information in our heads.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

***

AND

every time I start thinking too much about how I look,

I just find a Happy Hour and by the time I leave, I look just fine.
