I am getting old!

alisoncooks · 08-02-19, 09:41 PM

After a few strenuous strength sessions with KCM this week, I'm bemoaning the lack of stretching on her DVDs. And I came to whine about it here...only to find that I already did ...4 years ago!

And while I *slightly* remember that thread, I do NOT remember owning or doing Cardio Pump in 2015. In fact, I just (re?)bought that DVD last month and thought it was brand new to me. And I loved it, haha.

In that other thread, I asked "am I getting old or do workouts not have enough stretching?" Now I'm thinking, "am I getting old and totally forgetting owning certain workouts??" I wonder what else I've forgotten!

LOL Alison, you are so funny!

I also need more stretching, and most of the time I try to add a 15 - 20 minutes stretch routine after my regular workout, Slim & Limber is one of my favorite, as it is short and sweet.

My sister bought me Practical Magic for my birthday. I was looking inside the cover at the list of other books she had authored wondering if I had read any of her other books and saw one title that looked familiar. Then it dawned on me - it looked familiar because it was the book I was holding in my hand. 😂. Now THAT’S getting older!

Alison,

Memory can be overrated. So now, you have enjoyed the discovery of this DVD twice and the satisfaction of discovering the benefits of stretching.

Personally, I've "discovered" that I need to stretch more multiple times in my exercise life, the most recent about 2 weeks ago!

I just did that with a book. I ordered it from Amazon, started to read it and realized that I read it already! At least I had borrowed it from the library the first time I read it and hadn't bought it twice

Upon checking my library site, I did find out the author has a new book out that my library did get, so I put that on reserve.

That's an excellent way to look at it!

At least you remembered! I have no memory of owning or doing that DVD before.

(In my defense, 2015 was in the thick of DH's health issues, so I'm sure I'd blank on a ton of nonessential things from then!)

So funny! I also ordered Cardio Pump recently.... before realizing I ordered it a few years ago too.

I have thought about buying an older video and checked the VF Reviews. Only to find I had reviewed it ages ago. I save myself money that way!

There is a very bright side to all this.

We still want to keep working out! Forgetting things is small, wanting to exercise is big!
