I made the mistake of investigating one of the variety of adverts on Facebook for 'Lose weight easily at home with these simple exercises'. Now I'm inundated with them. Walk Yourself Thin, Five Minutes a Day, Wall Pilates, Chair Pilates, Do This One Exercise a 100 times a day, etc etc.
First of all I found out that most of them involve paying for your personalised chart. It doesn't mention that in the adverts though it should be obvious, and probably is to most thinking people. Then, once you've peeped beyond the portals they have you in their sights and nag you.
I think I've learned my lesson now but this advert did make me smile:
PILATES at Home Challenge:
❤️NO JUMPING
❤️NO RUNNING
❤️NO HUMAN INTERACTION
If anything would hook me in it would be the last one! Although the other two are quite attractive as well. They know their target market.
To be fair, ten minutes of concentrated exercise a day would be good for me and isn't much to commit to, but I know I wouldn't.
But I've noticed recently I'm hearing on the media about people dying and several have been in their 70s. If someone dies in their 50s or even 60s, people shake their heads and say, "Too young," but in their 70s there's not the same sense of taken too soon.
But I'm 71 and I'm nowhere near ready to die.
And on a different topic, does anyone else regularly, I might even say constantly, type t and h in the wrong order? The, their, there, become hte, hteir, and htere. It drives me mad.
I was going to put a photo on now to brighten up the post but my phone's got a big yellow triangle with an exclamation mark on it! Don't know what that means but it doesn't sound good.
