Focus On Your Problem Zones,

Focus On Your Problem Zones, Your Strength, Your Energy, Your Flexibility And All The Rest.

I Tell People That The Scales Lie. You May Have Played Basketball And Weighed 175 Pounds, With A 30-inch Waist, Back When You Were In College. And You May Still Weigh 175 At 55. But You Probably Have A 35-inch Waist And You've Probably Lost 30 Or 40 Pounds Of Muscle -- And Gained 30 Or 40 Pounds Of Fat. The Tape Measure Doesn't Lie. Get That Tape Measure Out And Put It On Your Hips And Your Waist. Keep Checking It. And Keep Exercising And Cutting Those Calories Down Until That Tape Measure Gets Close To Where You Were In Your Prime.

The First Thing I Did When I Was Forty Years Old, I Put Handcuffs On And I Jumped Off Alcatraz Prison And Swam To San Francisco Handcuffed. That Made National Publicity. Then, There Were Three Or Four Years Where I Would Do More Difficult Feats. Another Birthday I Towed A Thousand Pound Boat Across The Golden Gate. On My 65th Birthday I Towed 65 Boats A Mile And A Half In Tokyo. On My 70th Birthday I Towed 70 Boats With 70 People In It With My Feet And Hands Tied A Mile And A Half In Long Beach.... My Next Birthday I Will Be 93. I'm Gonna Tow My Wife Across The Bathtub.

Figure Out What's Good For You, Then Create A Liking For It. You've Got To Work At Living.

People Feel So Guilty About Not Exercising. Especially People Over 50, Who Feel Like They've Gone A Lifetime Without Taking Care Of Themselves. Instead Of Aiming For Perfection, You Should Try To Celebrate The Progress You're Making.
