5. Pull – The resistance<br />

band pull is a<br />

great antagonist to the<br />

push exercise. It can<br />

be performed standing<br />

or seated.<br />

6. Rotate – A<br />

standing resistance band<br />

rotation is effective in<br />

developing both rotational<br />

strength and balance.<br />

Like the resistance band<br />

push and pull, it can be<br />

performed from a seated<br />

position if necessary.<br />

7. Walk – The ability to<br />

walk is such a fundamental<br />

part of our lives and must<br />

continue to be to keep<br />

our joints loose and our<br />

legs and hips strong. For<br />

people who need advanced<br />

Part of the<br />

Callenders’ chores include<br />

feeding their geese.<br />

external weight such as<br />

dumbbells, gallons of water,<br />

weight plates, sandbags<br />

etc.<br />

tell a secret on a farm?<br />

Because the potatoes have<br />

eyes and the corn has ears!<br />

As a farmer, I<br />

hear lots of jokes<br />

about sheep.<br />

I’d tell them to my dog<br />

but he’d herd them all.<br />

What happened when the<br />

farmer crossed a chili pepper,<br />

a shovel and a terrier?<br />

He got a hot-diggity-dog!<br />

Did you hear about<br />

the wooden tractor ?<br />

It had wooden wheels, wooden engine,<br />

wooden transmission<br />

and wooden work.<br />

A farmer tried to save money by<br />

building a pig-powered tractor.<br />

He had to get rid of it though.<br />

Every time he turned a corner,<br />

What do you call<br />

a pig thief?<br />

A ham-burglar.<br />
