An
Exercise Story
In
1960 I weighed 320 pounds. A friend put me in touch with a former
bodybuilder who owned a gym. He showed me how to lift weights and
taught me about body conditioning. I've been exercising ever since.
Today, at age 84, I get up everyday and do resistance exercises for
ten to fifteen minutes. I lift 10, 15, and 20 pound weights, and I
also do what I call 'leg ups' to strengthen my midriff. Lying flat
on my back, I pull one leg up to my chest, release it, and then
repeat with the other leg. Then I do both legs together. I also do
a lot of stretching. At night, I do the same routine for about 15
minutes. I'm a drummer by profession, and I do about four gigs a
month. Exercise keeps my muscles strong and lets me do my
drumming.
