Woody the Safety Bloke talks about exercise and how important it is.
Hey everyone, Woody again, hey listen one of the things that I’ve got to put a little bit more effort into is my health and my fitness and there’s probably a couple of different reasons for it. I mean the first reason is I like to stay independent and I want to stay independent for as long as possible. I mean I don’t want to get into my sixties and my 70s and have to have someone push me around in my wheelchair, I want to be fit enough and physical enough to be able to do it for myself but the second reason is that the more weight that I put on, the more weight I have to lift in and out of the car, lift on and off the toilet, lift in and out of bed so I force myself to exercise.
I mean some days I wake up and the last thing I want to do is spend half an hour or an hour on my bike but I force myself to do it because I know that in the long term it’s going to be better for me so yeah the health side of things, it’s probably something that I’ve got to put a little bit more effort into because of the fact that I get around in a wheelchair so yeah getting hurt, it certainly changes your focuses and makes you think about the future, anyhow I’m Woody, stay safe Australia.
