[speaker002:] so you uh exercise on a regular basis
[speaker001:] I don't Vinny I'm a a CPA and this time of year I'm dang busy but uh I do do a lot of exercise in the spring and summer and in the fall
[speaker002:] uh-huh what kind of exercise do you do
[speaker001:] well I don't I don't go to a health club and work out and things of that nature but I I run a lot
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] I usually try to get uh oh about three mornings
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] three mornings a week where I run two two miles a day
[speaker002:] oh that's not bad um-hum
[speaker001:] yeah how about yourself
[speaker002:] well I uh I like to run but uh I have problems with my back hurting so uh I run I if I run it's usually short durations and I only do it when I can't you know get out of the house um
[speaker001:] um-hum um-hum
[speaker002:] there you know to go because I usually work out in a health club and uh I try to work out like every other day and sometimes when it's like a really nice day outside I don't feel like going inside to work out then I go ahead and run for short duration
[speaker001:] yes um-hum um-hum uh do you uh pump iron or what kind of uh
[speaker002:] yeah I use I like to do uh free weights
[speaker001:] um-hum um-hum
[speaker002:] because uh I found certain parts of my body developed better than other parts of my body so uh instead of they you know they have like different circuits and they tell you to work every single muscle in your body and uh I hate working a muscle that you know just won't develop
[speaker001:] um-hum um-hum
[speaker002:] so uh I've I've gotten uh I've adapted to uh a routine and I like to work my arms and my chest and my stomach and everything else just seems to stay the same no matter what I do to it
[speaker001:] hum
[speaker002:] so those are what I like to work out the most and you know I get a pretty decent workout with my legs um just you know on occasion running but or you know just running around what I do everyday so
[speaker001:] uh what I I've never been around weights much is how how's a dead weight help you versus the machine type
[speaker002:] well sometimes what happens is sometimes uh now different machines I guess uh work different ways but uh the way I look at it if sometimes the machine like you know one hand can put more porce can put more force than the other one
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] so sometimes you end up working out one hand more than the other or one leg more than the other because the machine averages the weights out
[speaker001:] oh yeah uh-huh
[speaker002:] because you're pulling like the same set of weights out now they they have different machines that will uh
[speaker001:] right uh-huh
[speaker002:] um
[speaker001:] equalize that or
[speaker002:] right they have what they have like a uh weight weight for one side and a weight for the other side and that's you know better than uh than like a universal set usually has like one set of weights that you know you do for both of them
[speaker001:] right um-hum
[speaker002:] um but even then uh I I'd like to think the free weights simulate a live a real world situation better
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] you know like uh just like a friend of mine used to tell me he goes uh if you work out with free weights you know and a car falls on you think the free weights going to give you better uh better idea of what's going to happen rather than if you work out with uh you know with some kind of machine
[speaker001:] yeah uh-huh
[speaker002:] but uh the machines the one thing the machines do do that the free weights don't do is they focus on a specific muscle or muscle group
[speaker001:] huh-uh
[speaker002:] which is something I don't think you will get out of the free weights because the free weights just kind of work your whole body I guess or a whole area as opposed to like one spot because if you get like a particular Nautilus machine or something
[speaker001:] um-hum yes
[speaker002:] yeah you can get it like down to you know the very last muscle down there
[speaker001:] hum
[speaker002:] so it works pretty good
[speaker001:] what do you uh do you work your cardiovascular system at all other than the running how do you you know get your
[speaker002:] um that
[speaker001:] heart rate up for a while
[speaker002:] I'm sorry say that one more time
[speaker001:] I was just wondering how you get your heart rate up or does pumping iron do that
[speaker002:] oh no usually what I do is when I get to the uh I I usually like run around the track they have a track there
[speaker001:] um-hum okay
[speaker002:] I run around the track uh you know uh maybe like it's a tenth of a mile all the way around so I just run real slow you know maybe do a couple of laps just enough to get my heart rate going
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] and uh after that then I just go ahead and just get in my routine I do uh I do my um my sit ups first and that also uh that gets my heart rate going too and then I I don't pump iron until maybe like halfway through and then I sit down and start doing the the free weights
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] and then I usually run before I leave to kind of relax me a little bit
[speaker001:] that's incredible
[speaker002:] yeah so it it works out okay I haven't uh I the problem is you know I get into it and I work out for three months four months in a row get in great shape and then you know I'll have a business conference I usually go overseas twice or three times a year
[speaker001:] um-hum yes
[speaker002:] and to attend these conferences and they kill me you you travel you eat a lot you um it messes up you know your uh biological clock you know
[speaker001:] huh yeah
[speaker002:] and uh it just screws you up completely and by the time you come back you don't feel like working out you know
[speaker001:] huh do do do do your muscles uh do do you lose the tone fast do you lose the strength in them fairly quickly or
[speaker002:] well uh I you you don't lose strength I don't think you lose a little bit of tone
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] um but you get back into it and you know it doesn't take very long to build it back up but uh I don't think you know they say you get flabby if you you know the more you work out and you get all big muscles and stuff and then also when you stop they say you get flabby when you get older you know
[speaker001:] um-hum um-hum
[speaker002:] well it may happen but like I said it's easy to develop them because if I lose if I lose tone you know by not working out uh over a period of a week or two
