Would you believe this exercise is in the kitchen ? Yes, emptying the dish washer, and I am an expert. Let me explain..
The dish washer was invented about the year when our twins were born in 1956. That was a time when you had to sterilize the glass baby bottles. This had to be done by boiling the bottles in water. When I was reading the news paper I read about a home dish washer that is now available for the first time. This unit could do all the sterilizing for both bottles and dishes. I promptly called the store, and it was available. I was able to have it installed in our kitchen with no problem. From that time on we always had a dish washer.
Over the years I was able to load and empty on occasion but not very often at first. But now in my old age, I am in need to be active as much as possible. Living here with my son and his large family they needed larger bowls and heavy pots and pans. I volunteered to empty the dish washer.
I was surprised how heavy glass bowls are. Then stake them on shelves that are above my head. Also pots and pans and various grills that have to be stacked.
I find myself bending and lifting and carrying and walking all over the kitchen usually for 1/2 hour almost daily. I don't need to go to any health club, or pay any one a fee. Besides my school teacher daughter-in-law is happy that that is done. I'm making points that way too.
Needless to say that I'm happy to be here rather then in a type of home for old people.
