    kincella.....I did a total reno on a terrace in Sydney in 1999 when I was 55. Two stories with lots of balancing & climbing around joists & rafters. I was out of condition & not as sharp as I used to be & almost fell a couple of times. I went to a garage sale with my daughter who was about 10 & we bought a pair of roller blades each for a laugh. We would often do laps around Centennial Park together. I had lots of falls but geeze it sharpened up my reflexes, balance & confidence. No probs after that but I stopped a couple of yrs ago & have noticed the difference. Still in reasonably ok condition but have to concentrate & focus when climbing a ladder or even walking down stairs.
