I forget to bend my knees when I reach for something
I have long noticed that mature people tend to bend from their waist instead of instead of bending their knees.
I must move my joints to lubricate them.
If I don’t move my joints to lubricate them them will get tight and they will seam to forget how to relax; and my sense of balance is impaired. My Feet, ankles and knees all depend on movement for lubrication.- Each foot is comprised is comprised of 33 joints,26 bones and more than a hundred muscles, tendons, and ligaments that all work together to bear weight, allow for locomotion, and transmit force.

- I need to move these critters to help them stay healthy and flexible.
- As the mature owner of my body, it is a great idea to spend some time each day taking conscious care of the health of my joints.
- Simple movement of these joints can help avoid the pain and discomfort of having joint problems—this includes those precious spinal column members.
- Our bodies don’t wear out, “they rust out.”
