You can do things in your twenties that would be unlikely in your fifties or sixties. I last climbed a rope when I was about twenty. Same for climbing trees. I think I last played tennis in my late forties or early thirties. Badminton I played last year. Baseball in a very crude form, also last year.
I still swim, but the water does the work of holding me up. I'm slower than I was in my thirties, but not by all that much.

Nothing is better in the way of who,me system physical conditioning than a regular walking hill climb.

I still climb trees whenever I get the oppertunity soemetimes I even do so witout falling out I'm probably more fit now than I was in my twentys, just due to being 5 stone lighter, and actually probably not far off my weight when I was in my early teens had a discusion on twitter tonight, vaguely related to trousers... and not sure how it'd work with trousers... were talking about how useful it'd be if legs were kinda detachible... so you could switch them about at will... and... stuff... hmm. actually that might not be relivent at all

omit 'who.me'
That transexual wooley monkey they've got in charge of software development out at google is getting happy again.
I hope they soon get around to sacking his shaggy, heroin addicted ass.

Pity there are no hills round here Guess they'd also be a good type of exercise for buttock development

Oh... I get lots of walking up and down stairs, everyday... my house/flat is split level, kinda weird thing, so its down a flight to the front door, and up a flight to the bedrooms/bathroom and... given how much coffee I drink, there is a lot ofw walking up to the bathroom every day Maybe I could just walk from the front door, up both lots of stairs, and back down, a few hours a day... to build my glutis maximus into something less unlike a glutis minamus... Other... exercises I've tried... don't seem to deveop muscle mass in taht particular area

Other weight training tricks to build up the gluteus maximum, carrying a rucksack.
For best results and greatest comfort carrying it should have as high a center of gravity as possible.
I used to weight mine with rocks, adding a rock a day or any other occasion I felt like it.
Soon, people attempting to heft it would go "Ooof!" and ask what I had in it, rocks?
The exercise is a good one for building up the gluteus maximus, basically, just carry it every where.

I do exercises every morning. Up down Up down, then the other eyelid. I run two miles this morning. My tie got caught in the taxi door.

My dear lady said she could do with some more exercise. I told her to go into the kitchen and make me a sandwich.

She has plenty to whine about as it is.
She woke me up at 3 in the morning. Would you like to hear the patter of tiny feet she said. Yes I would, I said. Well, she replied. Go down and put the kettle on, I'm gasping.

This thread has become too Procrustean* for my liking. You can either e4xercise/diet in order to fit into your trousers, or you can get a new pair that fits better. Do it whichever way you want. Procrustes is not going to come after you .
Procrustes, an evil highwayman in ancient Greek mythology, stood by the roadside and accosted passersby. He made them lie on a bed that he had with them, making them fit on it by any means possible. If they were too short, he would stretch their limbs. if their legs and/or arms hung over the side, he would chop off the excess. The Greeks were trying to say something about the dangers of excessive conformity.

problem is... Now I've lost weight... and down to a reasonable size... half the shops don't even do trousers in a small enough waist and all the trouser sizing is messed up anyhow, as each shop seems to be using a differnt 'inch' size rahter than a standard 'inch' size Heck, the female levi and male levi jeans I have, although they claim to be the same, in inchs, are a good 2 " differnt in reality on the waist size, its a trouser lottery, that is what it is... the trouser lottery I'm gona have to give up... and go back to my origoinal idea... of just wearing dresses and skirts...

< that is, I guess also an option Mind.... so is leather chaps (or whatever they're called)... but just because it is an option, doesn't mean Its a good idea (I'm sure if I repeat that, like a mantra, enough, I might one day actually believe it, and prevent myself all kind of pain, and embarasments and... oh, hang on... )
