Hobbies - Paracise

My latest hobby is paracise It’s a very gentle form of exercise It’s not leaping round like silly loons Just dancing to some classic old tunes Stretching my limbs with poise and grace And there’s a beaming smile upon my face The first session was completely free - there’s no sweating in the gym for me!

Sex is supposed to be the healthiest exercise, as it circulates your blood from head to your tippy toes, so try that again with, "Zorba The Greek" as background music! That should put a bigger beaming smile on your lips! Aloha! Rico

It's yoga and tai-chi for me. Slow and sweet with the right breathing is better than any gym. Unless you have a lot of rage to release; then go to a gym and wear yourself out. Love it.

It's a new form of exercise, very gentle but it really makes you feel so good when you've done a class:-) hugs Jan xx

Hi Jan, love this exercise poem, now this would be for me as I love to move to old records, I used to go to a gym but that was many years ago when I was young and fit, good luck in the contest and take care.......Vera
