I am a 62 yr old that is tired of sitting at home. My daughter is grown with children of her own that are getting older now so I don't spend as much time with them like I used to. Form sitting around all the time I am not as flexable as I used to be. I am strong still but because of the extra roll I have mid section, I have some limitations. The main one I am concerned about is squatting like a duck. I am getting ready to choose a school to start classes as early as this coming Monday the 10th. I drove 40ft buses for 11yrs so I am not afraid of being in a large vehicle, pre-trips, or even backing, only the physical. Should I be worried? Is squatting a big factor in this job? Feed back is welcome please.
