Walking can add minutes to your life. This enables you, at 85 years old, to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing home at $7000 per month.

My grandpa started walking
Five miles a day when he was 60.
Now he's 97 years old
And we don't know where he is.

I like long walks,
Especially when they are taken
By people who annoy me.

The only reason I would take up walking
Is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.

I have to walk early in the morning,
Before my brain figures out what I'm doing.

I joined a health club last year,
Spent about 400 bucks.
Haven't lost a pound.
Apparently you have to go there.

Every time I hear the dirty word 'exercise,'
I wash my mouth out with chocolate.

The advantage of exercising every day
Is so when you die, they'll say,
�Well, he looks good doesn't he.�

If you are going to try cross-country skiing,
Start with a small country.

I know I got a lot of exercise
The last few years,
Just getting over the hill.

We all get heavier as we get older,
Because there's a lot more information in our heads.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

AND

Every time I start thinking too much
About how I look,
I just find a Happy Hour
And by the time I leave,
I look just fine.

I wish I could walk more. A few years ago I shattered the calcaneus (heel bone) of my left foot. It's held together with seven titanium screws. It gets very painful if I walk more then a few hundred yards.

Any suggestions for alternatives to walking? I ride my bike quite often but lately the wind is very cold.
