Are you over 40? Very much overweight? Losing or have lost flexibility? Is your balance suffering? Are you female? (Exercise group for guys will be formed) Then, keep reading.
Okay, first of all, I am fat. There is no doubt about it. I am tired of friends saying, "Oh, you are not fat." or "You are not THAT fat!" or "Don't be so hard on yourself." "Don't call yourself names."
Let me tell you something. I am fat. I am that fat. My fat is what is hard on me! At this point, I have not developed diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol or any medical conditions related to being overweight...that I know of. But, the next medical test could change all that. How about being called diabetic for calling myself names? No thank you.
How old are you? I am 63 and feel young except when I try to move. I can still look for cars over my shoulder when I drive. But, slowly, I can feel that I am not as flexible as I was, as flexible as I should or can be.
Since I do not want to be anymore dependent than I must, any sooner than I must, I think it is time to do something about myself. Having a group to work with me will make this more fun.
Today, I am going to do something about what is happening to me. As I become less active due to injuries that helped me become fat, my joints are less flexible, my balance is off, walking and moving is more difficult.
I can do better than this. Are you determined to regain some flexibility, move more steadily, maybe lose a little weight? Do you want to meet and have some fun in the park?
This is not going to be intense! This is not going to involve fast movements. If you need that kind of action, look elsewhere. I do not subscribe to the notion "No pain, no gain." No sirree, I will not push myself to pain. No one will be encouraged to go any further than is comfortable.
If you need someone who is trained and certified, look elsewhere. I have no degree to back me up. I do have a need to move my body to be better at life. If you want to move slowly and surely toward better use of your body, let's meet. We can all bring a chair and a bottle of water. The chair is for sitting when we are tired. Sure, we can exercise from the chair! Water? Well, hydration is important.
So, if you are over forty and fat, get in touch. If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or any condition, it is fine to come. If you need to check this out with your doctor, please do so. This will be just friends moving slowly in the park.
That is what this is all about. If you like, contact me at fatpeopleexercise@yahoo.com or leave a comment here.
