     no thanks, i drink water, i get plenty of it, as for   
   sugars and salts i prefer to get those via food.

     that is from spending a lot of time not walking on   
   uneven surfaces or sitting too much.  use it or lose   
   it.   
      
     i learned quite a bit from practicing Tai Chi about   
   how strength and balance can be developed.  we practiced   
   the first year indoors on a flat floor, the summer time   
   we practiced outdoors on a beach or at the park, when we   
   went back indoors the next fall it was amazing how much   
   all of us had improved our sense of balance and also   
   our strength.   
      
     now i'm back outside more and doing more each week as   
   i get more acclimated to the activity level, but i also   
   need to do some extra stretching.  the massage therapist   
   does amazing things for me too.  after my last session   
   with her i could bend down and touch the floor and not   
   feel anything tight - that was about a six inch gain in   
   what i was able to do when i walked in her door.  she   
   don't mess around...  :)
