Barb and I had a couple of nice workouts while we cruised the Caribbean. We had a great view of the ocean as we worked out. I love seeing the curve of the earth. There may have been people who believed the earth was flat, but the Bible teaches otherwise. Isa. 40:22 "It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in." Also Proverbs 8:27, "When He established the heavens, I was there, When He inscribed a circle on the face of the deep," You can see the curved horizon on mountains by the sea. I viewed the curve of the earth at Laguna Beach, California and off Dimondhead in Hawaii. Next time I go to a skyscraper I will check out over land. It is cool seeing it with your eyes.
One of the things that has improved is strength in my upper body. bench press, overhead press, muscles in the rotator cuff have all improved and less pain. No pain when I sleep on my side and more strength in movements measure in increased weight handled. When I play Frisbee golf the throwing motion has more range and distance in the throw. Push ups, total gym, weights, and tubing have all contributed to this improvement. Doing the exercises through their full range of motion helps. The other thing that helps is stretching and moving.
There has been studies showing people gaining muscle in their 90's with strength training. (Cooper) Over all strength training can slow down muscle loss. I have never looked like a body builder, I never will. But working out will keep me in the game. It will help my bones stay strong with the falls that will happen. I fall less because I am more careful but I can not prevent falling.
I love to walk. I actually love it more than working out. It is nice to know when I can't walk like I like to I can do other things. It is good to have a variety of ways to move the body. Isn't that true in life? Options and multiple ways of seeing things help us when roadblocks come. I enjoyed my workout today. keep walking
