Terry: With limited time, I've been training in aikido for over 15 years, now up to test for sandan (3rd degree blackbelt), and without doubt the oldest guy on the mat of my dojo. Most everyone else is in their 20's or 30's and they bounce when you throw them. When they throw me, I just look up and say I'll be there again in a moment. Old saying, applies to everything, get thrown 7 times, get up 8. It's the most terrific exercise, and has pretty much "cured" the arthritis I had in my knees back in 1994. Total flexibility. Mind and body (I wish). It's why I continue to train. I couldn't recommend it more to anyone, of any age. P In a message dated 11/29/2009 8:22:27 P.M.

So I was wondering what you all do to help keep those "spare tires" and "love handles" under control. Also, since we just had Thanksgiving, and for those who DON'T currently have a regular exercise routine, this would be a perfect time to start! To kick things off, let me show you what I do to keep in shape; it's rather unusual, but it has become an integral part of my daily life, and it's by far the most efficient, and effective way I've ever found for getting and staying fit. Oh, and the other big perk is, it's FUN! I've made more than 200 of these, but here's a couple of my most recent. You can see many more by clicking my website link under my sig.
