The Joy of Getting Old.

Do you grunt when getting in or out of a chair? If so, does it help ?

Good Morning Alan, no, I don't grunt, I have been disGruntled.

Re: The Joy of Getting Old.

No, but I sometimes grunt reading some posts on certain forums .

Not true come to think of it. I notice I have started grunting when bending down at times . I think it does help too - empties your lungs maybe allowing more movement?

I get stiff at times for sure and sometimes it is because I haven't run believe it or not. I have to stretch my legs extremely hard with some rope to free up my hamstrings at times else they can play havoc with my back. This has lessened though as I now run less so it isn't so much a problem as it used to be.

I make sure my stomach muscles are strong at all times as it is all too easy to pull your back out and lets face it back pain is absolutely terrible.

I try not to grunt at any time, it isn't very ladylike

Re: The Joy of Getting Old.

Re: The Joy of Getting Old.

No Mark, I don't grunt I just gently exhale when required..

My dad used to say "You can only expect grunts from Pigs" not sure what he meant.

I think he has a point !

Re: The Joy of Getting Old.

Ive been Known to grunt getting into a chair. Mind you being a bloke surely thats a natural form of communication, i also creak but thats not.

Re: The Joy of Getting Old.

There's a very simple answer - do as I have done and buy a riser/recliner chair which then eliminates the need to grunt descending into or rising from the chair. - simple!!!
