    Re: Exercise for Seniors.

    I cycled 35 miles this afternoon, aged 56.

    There are folk 20 years older than I cycling three times that in a day.

    We set ourselves very low targets.

    Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
    he said, 'Don't count calories.'

      Absolutely. Which, in reality, we may need to start slower, and build up more gradually, but there is NO REASON we can't push ourselves for greater goals.

      I'm in TOTAL DENIAL about my age.
