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, he looks good doesn’t he.’

  • *******************************************

    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.

  • *****************************************

    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.
