I'm sure I got one or two report cards as a youngster with the teachers note about not paying attention in class scribbled on the edge. The one thing I'm finding I must not have really paid attention to turns out to be Gym. I've been thinking about that fact that I need to do some physical training now to keep any semblance of flexibility. I didn't used to have to work out to keep fairly trim and able to touch the toes. Now I'm realizing that I may have to make an effort to "work out" on a regular basis to keep from turning into the old guy shuffling along (with pants hitched up to mid-chest).

The problem is I don't remember a lot about how we went about exercising when I was in Gym class. I do remember jumping jacks although to this day I'm not sure what doing jumping jacks did other than weed out the guys without enough hand/eye coordination to have their hand clap above their heads when their feet were apart. But jumping jacks and a few push-ups are probably not going make me a more flexible me.

I guess is should think about seeking out a physical trainer who can get me started. I need to get a regimine that I can keep up with and maybe even expand on as time goes by. I need a physical trainer that will realize I am not 18 and that I wasn't paying attention.
