I'm Too Old for Sit-ups


Picture of the Day for 4/4/2012. I came across this exercise manual that used to belong to my parents. The manual was published by the Royal Canadian Air Force in what I suspect, based upon the photos, was the 1950s. Expectations about the amount of exercise women can handle has certainly changed in the last half century. According to the instructions, a woman of my "advanced" years should not be attempting sit-ups. No worries there. As my doughy belly can attest, I haven't attempted them in years.
