No I'm not exactly knackered at the moment but how on earth can I keep on going for much longer? Actually there was a point at which it was doubtful that I would be able to continue window cleaning for much longer. I would have liked to have retired sooner but things are as they are. So how have I managed to keep going and stay relatively fit? In this video I give a brief explanation of just how I did it.

Great topic Wagga,I'm 52, been trad 20 yrs up until last Christmas,have a belly now,which I never had before so gonna cut out all sweet things lol if I look as good as you at 66 I'd be very happy,keep safe wagga

I deliberately use heavy glass fibre poles and mix it up with some ladder work to try to maintain some degree of wholistic fitness. I’ve recently cut out eating breakfast and find that I don’t get hungry till lunchtime.Running, cycling, walking after work and at the weekends etc also helps. Getting aches and pains from work but I’d be in a lot worse shape if I was in an office!

I started when I was 18 after I got redundant at the printers. I'm now 72 and still cleaning windows. It's easier now with the pole. Better than three tooling. You now what I mean.

Carbs are what we run on. Fruit sugars are so full of energy. Glucose and fructose in perfect balance by design. Cut out meat and dairy and fat instead. Avoid sugars wrapped in fat - cakes biscuits choc bars etc. 67 this year and still cleaning windows.

Good advice. I to have gone to low carb, also only eat in the evening. I find it’s A rare person that takes on advice, or even researches these topics.still I don’t stop all day that alone must save/ gain 2 to 3 hrs per week.

I've just got to 33 years Chris & to be honest since I've stopped using ladders I've never felt so unfit I've even thought of going back to trad. I'm 52 & have pain in most of my joints tennis elbow is the worst since using the poles.

@deltafit 4 года назад

Try a lighter pole Tom

I'm 67. I was injured using a 30ft pole when my foot got caught by some exposed tree roots. Tried surgery, no luck. So I limp but on I go. If I didn't the television would eat me alive!

Sorry to hear about your injury. I have been lucky

Ive got a customer waiting for me to do a gutter and garage roof leaf and debri clean. 10 yrs ago i would have ate it for breakfast so to speak . I cant bring myself to do it these days. Also If i dont go out walking regular i tend to stiffen up more after work.

@MyWagga 4 года назад

I stopped doing gutter jobs years ago but when I started the exercises it made quite a difference. Its hard to keep them up though like new years resolutions!

Been doing the window game 20 years, and ten plus years power washing. Recently I hurt my back. Any advice for restoring an injured lower back? How do you also keep your neck from getting injured using wfp?

I'm well down the carb rabbit hole, it's all about insulin and the pancreas. You can blame the good old USA, 1977 they changed there diet from a fat based to carb based, 1977-80 obesity went up 10%, UK adopted this diet in 1980, same thing happened. Anyway, great videos.

@MyWagga 3 года назад

Cheers Lee, it's certainly not easy.
