Until he broke his hip last year ancient Uncle (then 92) took part, twice weekly, in the aerobics classes in his Care Home. I have seen them in action and very fit they are too. Thankfully, they tend to wear track suits.

Nonu Wed 17-Jul-13 20:19:41

Right back at you .

I did say 'not many' of us, Nonu! You, of course, will stand the test of time...wink

Nonu Wed 17-Jul-13 20:16:08

I MIGHT BE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ana Wed 17-Jul-13 20:02:37

No - and when he's 89 not many of us will be in a position to criticise! grin

Ella and glamma, are you implying that our Frank has a less than perfect physique? We shall never know.

Nonu Wed 17-Jul-13 19:50:33

GLAM , what can I say, the very thought of an 89 year old in lycra , beggers belief . Yuk, & again yuk.

I get reprimanded by the women when I don't go to Bums and Tums.
I do know some of the women from school days and they have told the rest how I got to be doing Bums and Tums.
When I went on holiday recently and asked if men can join the Bums and Tums class I was told I would be very welcome bus she said I am likely to be the only man in it.
I could not believe that.

Or even now glamma !

glammanana Tue 16-Jul-13 22:11:07

Nonu there is no way I would like to be positioned behind him at 89yrs old it would not be a pleasent sight,all those saggy bits in lycra shorts urrh !!

Nonu Tue 16-Jul-13 21:58:14

FLICK, You go girl , good on you !!!!

hug

FlicketyB Tue 16-Jul-13 21:51:23

You and me both Nonu, I am cultivating the graceful bit, when I remember. In 25 years I will be heading for 100 and intend to me an indomitable old lady who terrifies her descendants, Proper respect for the old, I say.

Nonu Tue 16-Jul-13 21:34:55

What the heck do you think I am then ???

Nothing wrong with being graceful , for a lady anyway !!!!!!!!!!!!

Nonu

I am of the baby boom era and baby boomers do not grow old gracefully.
I want to live another 75 years to annoy the government and my occupational pension schemes.
I do not want to end life in care.

You don"t look a day of it , bit like me really I have grown older , gracefully.

HUNTERF Tue 16-Jul-13 20:43:21

Two ladies thought I would be tonight.
I will have been going for 53 years in September if you count the traditional keep fit I was sent to do at school and I will be 89 in 25 years time.
