Me neither. I did a lot of excersise in my teens (lots and lots of
cycling). I feel fine at 62 years old and can kneel down and get back up
without the use of my hands. Unlike my wife who is experiencing leg
joint problems.
I did a lot of very strenuous work during my

Not sure if I even have any muscle left now :-(

I'd say to just keep moving. Plenty of gentle activity, in my opinion, is

Yes, gentle activity is the best

My half pound of butter a month keeps me going. No more, no less, just a

I was brought up in the same town and never got my mind onto dripping

day, if I can find those from my childhood days.

LOL Shhhhh! We did the same with pork lard and a bit of salt or Maggi
seasoning. But not very much and not very often

Ahem. Are you still slim and trim :-)

Depends if you use clampons (sp) or legs and arms. Never fancied the former.

I would imagine that it would be a very painless way to go. You would
get your brains bashed out before you knew what was happening.

Not for the taste you get. It is about £13-00 over here, but it is to
die for.

Easiest answer to that is just to eats less. I found my appetite kicked
in as soon as I stopped smoking.
Some time in my thirties, I quit smoking and it took ages to get the
weight off, but, wait and it does drop off. The older you get, the
longer it takes. Right now, my problem is the fat that I should be
carrying at my time of life. My legs and arms are nothing like I had 12
months ago. I'll get there in the end though. (I have had severe health
problems for the last 14 months.)

Do you mind a sad story?
A friend told me he had a horror of freezing to death on the hills, having
climbed "the Ben" for charity and got cold. I told him it beats a slow
death in a hospital, he didn't agree. You can guess the rest (leukemia).

"crampons", i think clampons is better though. Crampons actually make
climbing harder in terms of sheer effort, you have to walk like John Wayne
to avoid snagging and for extended use you need stiff heavy boots to avoid
loss of circulation or them falling off.
But moving up a steep slope of frozen snow like an insect is exhilarating
if very very scary.
<health and safety warning>
only use crampons and axe if you have the necessary skills and with
appropriate boots designed for crampons. Crampons can get inexperienced
walkers into situations they are not equipped for.
I have never used them with soft bendy boots or scared the **** out of
myself by realising that if the crampons broke I couldnt get down, honest,
guv. But the pint afterwards tastes the best pint in the world. Sadly I'm
now too old, wise and knackered for such bravado.

You are a man and slimmed at 30. Nothing about your experience works for a
woman or a person double that age. Trust me. I know what I am doing.
