By the way, glad to see that some of you are beginning to workout, trying to workout or at least thinking about it. There are some days when I just don't have time to do a full workout, but I try to at least walk or something. Anything, even if it is just a few minutes is better than nothing.
To those of you who are under 40. Believe me, it sneaks up on you. You think hey, I don't look too bad, but when you hit 40, something happens. It's like the next day, something happens. And you are like, hey, why does that hurt, or where did that bulge come from, wow, why am I so tired, that never bothered me before. Or at least this has been my experience and many of my friends have expressed the same thing.
I just don't want my body preventing me from doing what I want to do for as long as I can, if there is anything that I can do about it. Ya know what I mean?

You are right on the money Marilyn!!!! It's so funny now, but when I turned 40 it seems everthing started happening. The first real test came when my Mom (at the time she was in her early 70's) and I were out in the front yard playing with my son (4 at the time). We were being silly and he was trying to do a cartwheel. Well, I've always been able to do them before, but NO ONE told me not to do them after 40....LOLOL.
I ended up pulling a muscle in the back of my leg from my behind all the way down to my ankle. We heard the most awful sound when the muscle stretched.... I was in so much pain and my Mom couldn't help me get up. My husband was at a meeting. Just so happened my husbands best friend was going by our house on his way home from work and Mom flagged him down.
He was helping me get up and asked me what I had done. I told him I was doing a cartwheel and he darn near dropped me as he laughed. Anyway I ended up in the ER and on crutches for 2 weeks. From then on...it's been downhill....LOL
The good thing from all this...my Mom was going to do a cartwheel too, thank God she didn't have the chance.!!!!
