I have made it one of the most important things to do in my life. I am 51 years young and am in a great shape. Exercise in the form of sports, that is my way of exercise. Often when I am very "off" and my meds have a hard time to kick in I do some exercise to stimulate my body. I also have an exercise machine where I can train my muscles. Here is my weekly program : Monday evening I play table-tennia, they call it here ping pong, from 6.30 till about 8.00. It is a very explosive sport, meaning that one has many peaks in performance. I work meself up in sweat. Tabletennis is immediately followed by basketbal. I am a lousy player but I love the exercise. Besides that, as well as the tablennis as the basketball is with people from church. That gives us a nice way to learn each other know better. Tuesday evening is my bowling evening. The first leage starts at 6.30 pm.We bowl 3 games and then the second league starts at 8.30. We play 3 games again. This will last untill 10.15 pm. after this I will bowl about 1.5 hour in which I usually about 15 games bowl. Friday evening I have always a date....with my lovely wife....We eat in a well known Seafood restaurant and after that we bowl till midnight. Often I bowl at least one more time in the week. My T-shirt is soaking wet after one of my training sessions. At least once a week I play golf. I walk the course and because I am not such a great golfer I make more yards than absolutely needed. My swing is not good enough for long shots but I use a driver where other people use an iron and they quit laughing when they see I don't hit the ball over the green. And yes, we are blessed with beaitiful weather in Texas:) Last but not least, I play in a summer softball league. I had never played softball till two seasons ago, they asked me to play. And I love it !! I start in April with practizing in the batting cage. When I have a day of little movement, I need to do something !! I get stiff when I don't do my exercise. I use my medication faster, I run faster out of energy, but I am not 18 anymore....I am 51 and going for the 100 !!
