[speaker001:] so
[speaker002:] okay do you regularly exercise regularly
[speaker001:] yeah I sure do
[speaker002:] what do you do
[speaker001:] uh I ride a bicycle quite a bit and uh work out with free weights
[speaker002:] okay I love to ride a bicycle
[speaker001:] I live right near White Rock Lake so I used to I try to ride about ten to twenty miles a day but I
[speaker002:] oh that's good
[speaker001:] haven't been doing so well this year
[speaker002:] I went an last year I went an was exercising on a bike for a while and I when I'd gotten back I had gotten some sun that day the sweat had built up on me and built up under my skin and caused me to peel it was the sweating not the burn
[speaker001:] oh that's weird
[speaker002:] that was wild but I exercise I don't exercise now I just had a baby three months ago I haven't really gotten back into exercising but I exercised real good for a couple of years it was
[speaker001:] oh yeah
[speaker002:] aerobics and lifting weights three nights a week and it was running three nights a week
[speaker001:] so what's your motivation
[speaker002:] what was my motivation
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] a friend of mine always pushing me this was in Louisiana and she would push you know she was hey let's go do it and you know she wouldn't take no for an answer
[speaker001:] was it for health or to look good
[speaker002:] oh I just I just wanted to look good
[speaker001:] I would think
[speaker002:] yeah it weren't really health related
[speaker001:] it was just a side benefit
[speaker002:] yeah yeah because I'm not um I'm not big or anything but I'm not in great shape so but when I worked out I got in pretty good shape I didn't build up muscle though I just got real good and toned
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] I don't think women look good with muscles
[speaker001:] up to a point
[speaker002:] up to a point no more yeah it's just some of those women that come up there looking like Arnold Schwarzenegger's sister just doesn't get it
[speaker001:] yeah yeah so what was what was the other question let's see do you do it as a task or do you enjoy enjoy working out
[speaker002:] I guess it's a task because I can't make myself do it lately
[speaker001:] yeah I think I uh I enjoy it sometimes and there's other times when I just get tired of it and
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] and I feel like I'm obligated to do it because I've been doing it so I should keep up
[speaker002:] you don't want to lose yourself
[speaker001:] and there's some days it's just like it's the hardest thing in the world to to get started
[speaker002:] well how old are you
[speaker001:] I'm uh twenty seven
[speaker002:] okay so you're still young
[speaker001:] yeah still young getting older
[speaker002:] we all are so
[speaker001:] yep but uh
[speaker002:] yeah it's not hard to stay well if you keep working out when you're young though when you get older you know your body's not going to look as bad I seen an old woman today she was about eighty and she looked so good I mean she was standing just as straight and tall and she had a small waist and she didn't have you know like you know how some older women will get the big bulge right in the middle
[speaker001:] yeah right
[speaker002:] and she didn't have that at all she her lips were a little bit wide but a lot of back in her time they liked women with big hips anyway
[speaker001:] right
[speaker002:] so she may be keeping that on purpose so
[speaker001:] yeah I notice if you uh if you stay in shape you don't age as bad
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] I think too I was I go to school too at night and last semester I had stopped working out because I hurt myself and started smoking a lot and you just those kind of things age you more
[speaker002:] well smoking ages you quick it puts those little wrinkles around your lips
[speaker001:] right and right and you can't and then you know it just kind of feeds itself you smoke and then you don't work out because you
[speaker002:] you get winded
[speaker001:] yeah right and so I
[speaker002:] oh I smoke a pack a day and
[speaker001:] I finally quit because like I just all I was doing was going down hill fast
[speaker002:] oh and I can't quit smoking I've tried I was telling a friend of mine that be almost almost as bad as being an alcoholic can't quit smoking
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] I've tried I just can't do it I quit when I was pregnant with my kids but you know as soon as I had them right back to it
[speaker001:] right back to them yeah
[speaker002:] yeah it was like you know that was the only reason I quit I didn't want to and I don't want to quit smoking I enjoy that I said I have very few vices I'll keep this one thank you but uh
[speaker001:] yeah yeah
[speaker002:] did you ever go to like one of those health clubs or anything
[speaker001:] I went to a health club a few years ago and now I work out at home because I don't really my schedule with school and work I don't have time to get down to one
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] there used to be one that was a twenty four hour that I used to go to but uh I actually prefer to work out alone
[speaker002:] I like to work out with people I need like you I I need competition is what I need I've got to have somebody to compete with or I don't want to do anything
[speaker001:] really yeah I wouldn't mind having you know working out with a friend and and stuff but when you get into some of these some of these health clubs where you just stand around and wait
[speaker002:] um-hum are you
[speaker001:] you know I like to start get it done and get out of there
[speaker002:] uh-huh are you married or anything no
[speaker001:] no I'm not
[speaker002:] well get your girlfriend to work out with you a lot of women like that I'd love it if my husband would ask me to work out with him he doesn't work out very often course he don't need to he's small and he works as a laborer on the railroad so you know he's building his muscles up all day he doesn't have to do anything he can eat like a horse too
[speaker001:] yeah right
[speaker002:] and he don't you know he don't gain it like I do but uh
[speaker001:] uh especially having a kid I guess tends to just gain weight because you have to to
[speaker002:] yeah yeah you have to well you can gain too much weight I gained a little bit too much but I looked
[speaker001:] to uh
[speaker002:] with my first little boy I did gain a lot of weight I got I got about fifty pounds overweight with him and I didn't loose it until two years ago and then I got pregnant and you know ruined that so
[speaker001:] set to start all over
[speaker002:] yeah well actually like I say it ain't as bad this time because I was in shape when I got pregnant
[speaker001:] right
[speaker002:] I wasn't out of shape I wasn't overweight with when I got pregnant with him I just wasn't in in shape I don't know the difference but
[speaker001:] yeah some people are a little bit fanatical about it you know I
[speaker002:] about weight
[speaker001:] well yeah and about
[speaker002:] exercise
[speaker001:] working out and fitness you know I like to to work out to look good and stay in shape and you know I know it's good for me but people that live for it and you know eat a bunch of different pills and
[speaker002:] wel l that's what my friend did
[speaker001:] all that kind of stuff it gets a little bit
[speaker002:] well she was she was with the wheat germ and all the vitamins and everything else and really we was you know even with her taking all those expensive expensive vitamins and stuff
[speaker001:] obsessive yeah
[speaker002:] we stayed right on the same track with each other you know developing and everything now there you can take those uh what is it
[speaker001:] yeah steroids
[speaker002:] steroids yeah I couldn't think I was going I was trying to say hemorrhoids no I was trying to say hem hormones yeah hormones but yeah uh steroids but I stay from that crap
[speaker001:] yeah there's really bad for you hem hormones yeah it's too dangerous
[speaker002:] oh I wouldn't I could just see hair start growing out of my upper lip or something
[speaker001:] yeah I had a friend whose brother did steroids and as soon as he stopped working out he just ballooned out it all turned to fat and it just
[speaker002:] really
[speaker001:] really looked bad
[speaker002:] ooh
[speaker001:] but uh
[speaker002:] I didn't know it did that
[speaker001:] I don't know if it does to everybody he was it it just that's how it affected him and he I don't know just
[speaker002:] yeah but I've been wanting to get me a bicycle or a bike I've been wanting to get a ten speed to ride around I'm scared to run for dogs course I know dogs can get you on a bike too but
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] seems like it
[speaker001:] at least you got a chance to outrun them that way
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] I don't like to run myself I've thought about it several times and I just it I like to move a little faster and cover more ground
[speaker002:] well they yeah they've come up that running is not as good for you as they thought it was
[speaker001:] it's probably I would think it would be hard on your your legs and your joints and stuff
[speaker002:] yeah it's real hard on your legs and it's hard on women and it it just makes stuff move down and uh but I I I like jogging I don't mind that I can get out and do that as long as it's not hot if it's hot you can't do that
[speaker001:] yeah uh I can't
[speaker002:] but in the rain oh I love to run in the rain just you know be careful not to slide
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] but you can't ride your bike at all in the rain can you
[speaker001:] no you can't
[speaker002:] you slide
[speaker001:] it's dangerous at least maybe some of these mountain bikes you could but a regular ten speed with those skinny tires
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] you slide all over the place
[speaker002:] yeah oh I when I did ride my friends bike that one time I had uh I don't know what I was trying to do I was trying to make a U turn and I never could make a U turn in a bike I can do it in my car but I tried to do it on that ten speed and wrecked and I told her a dog was chasing me but I wrecked it into the curb I didn't hurt it too bad I scratched it on the the oh she had some kind of fender thing going over the back tire I think but oh well
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] anyway it's been nice talking to you
[speaker001:] yeah well
[speaker002:] and uh
[speaker001:] good luck with the the new kid
