I am into jogging myself and have been for years. However, I don't have a treadmill so I have to miss my workout due to the weather. </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/fitness#post-201 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 14:30:37 +0000 debv54 201@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>I go to the gym and spend 30 minutes each on the elliptical, treadmill and various machines. I seem to be treading water as far as getting in shape is concerned and wonder if there's something I'm missing. Thanks for the link, I'll check it out. I lust after an XBox 360 with Kinect so I can try the Zumba workout. Has anyone tried that ? </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/fitness#post-104 Thu, 09 Dec 2010 19:59:42 +0000 Banjo Steve 104@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>I figure that the best health insurance plan is the plan to do what needs to be done to stay healthy. And that my first responsibility to my family is to maintain my health. I don't have to keep up with the marathon runners, but doing nothing is not a smart option. Good luck to you all. Keep on moving! </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/have-you-heard-about-this-has-anyone-tried-them#post-81 Wed, 13 Oct 2010 12:53:22 +0000 Joe Hauckes 81@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>I agree mudman, may as well just wear a long sleeve shirt and be done with it. </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/have-you-heard-about-this-has-anyone-tried-them#post-78 Tue, 12 Oct 2010 17:19:38 +0000 mudman799 78@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>Sort of defeats the idea of having short sleeves doesn't it. </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/have-you-heard-about-this-has-anyone-tried-them#post-65 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 03:54:04 +0000 karenj2000 65@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>I'm have super sensitive skin &amp; burn easily, and i'm really worried about putting chemicals on the kids skins.<br /> I found these <a href="http://www.sunnysleevez.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.sunnysleevez.com</a> it seems like such a good idea but i'd love to get some feedback from anyone who has tried them<br /> thanks<br /> Karen </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/tech-help-for-boomers#post-49 Tue, 18 May 2010 21:40:33 +0000 digitalboomers 49@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>My name is Alex and I've started this business concept in the Chicagoland area.

The idea would be you would have one person you could call for whatever gadget or computer question, like what's wrong with my email or how do I send pictures through text message on my cell phone. </p> <p>I thought it sounded great but was curious to see what other 'boomers' would think of such an idea. I usually online go online to send emails or look at pictures so I would love to have one person to call to ask all my 'dumb' questions to but I'm not sure if I'm just way behind the curve even for my generation. </p> <p>If you're interested in sharing your thoughts I'd love to hear them. Thanks! </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/not-30-anymore-who-noticed#post-38 Sat, 06 Feb 2010 17:13:12 +0000 Eva Pasco 38@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>I've never bought into the hype of aging or becoming my dad's Oldsmobile sedan now that I'm past the milestone of thirty. I honestly don't feel compromised physically as I've always been an avid exercise enthusiast so my lifestyle hasn't changed any. What I have noticed is that I've reinvented myself to keep up with my intellectual growth and evolving interests. </p> <p>We Baby Boomers are in our prime! </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/living-arrangements#post-36 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 15:50:52 +0000 Eva Pasco 36@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>No, that's understandable, but some sort of friendship, even if begrudgingly. </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/living-arrangements#post-35 Wed, 03 Feb 2010 15:33:10 +0000 Joe 35@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>"I think there is still love there" to paraphrase Jeff Goldbergs father in the movie "Independence Day". &lt;img src=&quot;http://babyboomersus.net/my-plugins/pb--bb-smilies/default/icon_cool.gif&quot; title=&quot;8)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/living-arrangements#post-33 Wed, 03 Feb 2010 13:28:32 +0000 Eva Pasco 33@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>Another forum topic I've revived...your ex-wife must be a very gracious woman to extend her hospitality. </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/fitness#post-30 Wed, 03 Feb 2010 10:18:05 +0000 Joe 30@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>Eva,<br /> I only know that I used to run track in school and now I can barely walk up the stairs. &lt;img src=&quot;http://babyboomersus.net/my-plugins/pb--bb-smilies/default/icon_cry.gif&quot; title=&quot;:cry:&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; <br /> I've been making a concerted effort to do more walking, a little at a time. I can't wait til spring and maybe make it all the way around the block! &lt;img src=&quot;http://babyboomersus.net/my-plugins/pb--bb-smilies/default/icon_wink.gif&quot; title=&quot;:wink:&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/fitness#post-28 Tue, 02 Feb 2010 16:11:53 +0000 Eva Pasco 28@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>Beautygrl,</p> <p>You're absolutely right. For years I'd been an avid jogger, then switched to working out on the elliptical trainer.

I'm a health nut, but I can't keep up with my old routine (too hard on the knees). I've turned to fitness videos; my favorites are by Mirabai Holland, called Moving Free. They're great--I never feel too sore in the morning, and there's no stress on my joints. Check her out at <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Moving-Free/174976698070?ref=ts" rel="nofollow">http://www.facebook.com/pages/Moving-Free/174976698070?ref=ts</a> if you're lookin' for a good workout!</p> <p>What's your fitness routine now that we're gettin' old and gray? </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/living-arrangements#post-4 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 19:24:41 +0000 Joe 4@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>Frankly, at this stage of life I thought where I lived would have been a gimmie. However, due to some personal and life changes, I have had to move back in with my x-wife.<br /> It's not really a bad arrangement, but my cash flow isn't what it used to be and sometimes I am just plain embarrassed to admit that I can't do some of the things I used to do without giving it a second thought (going to the Ball game, jumping in the car and taking a day trip, just going out to dinner).<br /> Life is still good, just different! </p>
