Keep up the go...Anne - Congrats on your cartwheel. Keep up the good and hard work.<BR/><BR/>Tony - THANK YOU for creating such a powerful workout. I have myself, my husband and my dad (although they are not as consistent) doing the workouts. My 4 year old son tries some moves and gets upset if he can't watch me workout. He loves fitness and already understands the importance of exercise. He has been doing pushups for over a year now. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11982052499341939964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13058540.post-27254100473574894482008-06-27T08:20:00.000-07:002008-06-27T08:20:00.000-07:00Good article in NYT (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/0...Good article in NYT (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/24/health/24brod.html?em&ex=1214712000&en=035d29efd8cdb943&ei=5087%0A)<BR/>about aging and fitness - some facts from it:<BR/><BR/>Fact: Every hour of every day, 330 Americans turn 60.<BR/><BR/>Fact: By 2030, one in five Americans will be older than 65.<BR/><BR/>Fact: The number of people over 100 doubles every decade.<BR/><BR/>Fact: As they age, people lose muscle mass and strength, flexibility and bone.<BR/><BR/>Fact: The resulting frailty leads to a loss of mobility and independence.<BR/><BR/>The last two facts may sound discouraging. But they can be countered by another. Regular participation in aerobics, strength training and balance and flexibility exercises can delay and may even prevent a life-limiting loss of physical abilities into one’s 90s and beyond.CT Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04038566543826902808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13058540.post-26089439776854896622008-06-27T07:47:00.000-07:002008-06-27T07:47:00.000-07:00I say, "Way to go" Keep Movin.

Isn't it funny the people we can touch throughout our lives...? <BR/><BR/>I always remember how you said at camp that you own a big desk calendar and mark down every single workout each month. Accountability! Not just winging it. Even though I'm able to successfully perform every workout you've got on the market (yes, even the dreaded Dreya roll!), I know that I'm not getting the maximum benefit of the program if I'm not writing everything down--that includes rep counts, weights or bands, how I felt, and what days I worked out. And yes, I will admit that most of time I don't write anything down for whatever nonsensical reason, but when I do I must say that I feel more confident, knowledgeable and stronger all around.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for all your good work, and a big happy 5-0! <BR/><BR/>Engage the cage, don't engorge the cage!<BR/><BR/>NAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13058540.post-58463185635964431372008-06-25T11:02:00.000-07:002008-06-25T11:02:00.000-07:00That's awesome!
