Hm, ok, try taking a look at Jump Stretch resistance bands.
I'm using those a lot right now per Dr. Perry's recommendations, (he
demo'd and taught me how to use them in some ways in his office, I
always left my appointments with him sweating <g>) and they are low
impact too like swimming is. In fact, probably more so.

I'm a bit peckish myself at the moment. :-) I need to take care of the
cats first and wash dishes. Dad still has sausage and eggs left in the
'frige and seems to be enjoying it, so I won't have to cook for him
today.

I have some leftover steak in the 'frige for me from yesterday (dad
won't eat beef) so I'll baste a couple of eggs to go with that and add
some baby spinach for the green stuff, and call that "brunch".

I need to get bananas for dad tomorrow so I'll pick up some more small
tatuma squashes in the morning for tomorrow.

I'm developing a hankerin' for artichokes at the moment so might get a
couple for this weekend.

Sounds good! My favorite simple recipe is to get some low fat or fat
free sour cream and add powdered dressing mix to that, particularly
Hidden Valley Ranch. It can be thinned with a little buttermilk.
