"No Bending Over"

from The Long Road · host Ron Jones

I noticed an advertisement on the back of my magazine for some new shoes by Skechers. The catch lines were, "No Bending Over. No Touching Shoes." I get why they are making and marketing these shoes--Americans do not move well especially as they age, but where does this philosophy of living end? The promotion of rigidity and being LESS mobile does not sound like a good idea! Here are some quick thoughts on what I have learned about seniors and mobility over the decades.
