Does anyone remember these or still do them.

They were originally created for office staff of the CRAF.

I have the book and have done them periodically over the years.

However they stop at age 60. I am 76 and would like to start doing them again. Am a bit worried though. Does anyone else in my age group do them regularly?

I remember them from the mid 70s. As I recall, they were uninspiring and tedious. I’m not sure why anyone would want to do them now…

I still do the exercises; got my book in 1981.
I too was going to post that piece about Helen Mirren, as well as advise you ask your physician before starting them.
I find they keep me feeling flexible and good; it's very basic, but it works.
Good luck with it!
