My journey is an ongoing series of adjustments. I went from walking to biking to prevent falling because of my Cerebral palsy and now I am walking short walks to improve my ability to balance and walk.
I haven't been writing a lot lately but people continue to visit the blog and find posts to read. In the Fatman walking, I explore what I have discovered that helps to keep moving and keep my health up as I age.There are four basic enemies that can cut our lives short heart disease and cardiovascular disease, strokes are part of this; cancer, diabetes, and I have added dementia.
As we age there are other issues we face, but these four are on top of the list.
Being a Fatman obesity is a battle. With aging our metabolism slows down and our health may bring mobility problems that make weight even more difficult to manage. I have seen research on how our body resists our efforts to lose weight.
In my blog, I have been open to mental health issues of dealing with depression, insomnia, anxiety and later post-traumatic stress. These things are in remission and I am happy to report this old man isn't living a grumpy, blue life unable to sleep.
Biking, resistant training, flexibility, shadow boxing all play a part in fitness.

I have shared the stories of people who have lived long lives and why they were able.
My perspective is not from a health expert, but a fat old man. I hope it encourages you to keep walking. Thank you for hitting my blog 100,000 times.
