Post-1: What I intend to do

I am going to use this blog to post information (and sources of further information) about anything that I think may be life enhancing. This could be a routine, a product, a way of doing something, or anything else.

In essence, anything that is an aid to staying healthy, staying mobile and staying active. Obviously each of these criteria will be relative to every individual, but I hope that, over time, I will make this blog useful to all.

How the blog will work

Some posts will be general and relate to all, i.e. those who are able bodied and those who have a physical limitation of some kind, whilst others will be more concerned with overcoming a particular restriction or problem.

e.g. This could include the right way to pick up and carry a heavy weight, the best kind of bed design to provide a good night’s sleep, or a product or device that enables the achievement of an activity that many take for granted, but that may be problematic for some.

This will see post of varying lengths and detail, some looking at overcoming mobility problems that affect those of advancing age, those who have suffered an injury, or those with a physical limitation of some kind.

I intend to try and cover everything from the virtues of orthopaedic products like beds, chairs and supports, to walk-in baths and mobility scooters. But I will also look at more general health and outdoor living equipment ranging from home saunas to garden fire pits.

In short I will try to vary what I write about and, whilst some posts will relate to specifics, others will be more general.

Throughout the blog I will express my own views and opinions, but these will not be based on any kind of medical qualification or professional ability to review. They will however take account of the various problems that I have (and have had in the past) and which range from severe back problems to broken limbs, and dislocated joints. They will also take account of the fact that (whilst not yet of advancing years myself), I do have elderly relatives and friends with numerous physical issues.

Frequency of posts

I will make at least 2 posts per week and ideally 3, and all posts will be original material (i.e. not copied form elsewhere) unless stated otherwise.

Blogwise, this will be my fourth and all 4 cover different topics, but with interests that are common to me.
