[speaker001:] okay are you on any kind of uh regular exercise plan
[speaker002:] I I yeah I'm yeah I I do aerobics uh step classes and um toning classes yes
[speaker001:] step classes what's that
[speaker002:] it's um it's a new uh form I think uh it's like low impact aerobics but at it
[speaker001:] oh instead of hopping and jumping your just stepping
[speaker002:] um-hum yeah you you have a step and you literally step up on the step and move your arms it's it's it's it's new it's fun
[speaker001:] oh okay huh I probably couldn't do that because of my knee
[speaker002:] uh-huh bad knee
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] um and uh I do toning a lot and uh some every once in a while I play tennis
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] I'm not too great at it but I I try to play
[speaker001:] yeah I've I've kind of gotten out of the habit myself I mean it's I guess what I do now is I play softball right now that's about well right now I'm on two teams so it's four nights a week but uh
[speaker002:] um-hum gosh
[speaker001:] uh so I enjoy it but
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] as far as you know uh instead of having to join a health club and make myself go out there I went and bought a weight bench and don't ever hardly use it need to need to make myself do that
[speaker002:] uh-huh right yeah yeah I slacked off a little because of um I'm about to graduate from college and so this past couple months have been really hectic so I haven't really gone and I've really been faithful these past two months of going to the health club and working out but
[speaker001:] what school you going to
[speaker002:] I'm at East Carolina
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] but um no I uh my step classes and toning is about the only thing well I mean
[speaker001:] now what's what's toning is that lifting lifting weights
[speaker002:] it's it's um like isolated movements for each muscle certain muscles groups you can do with
[speaker001:] oh okay isometrics stuff like that
[speaker002:] yeah you can do it with certain you know you can do it with weights if you wanted to but you know you leave out of there usually the next morning if you haven't done it in a while you wake up the next morning you're like oh no what did I do to myself and your whole body aches you know um
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] I know I'm looking forward to getting back into getting into shape uh I feel like I'm out of shape but I feel guilty for not going because I really I'm I'm so used to going for you know three or four years now but um
[speaker001:] um-hum yeah I stayed in pretty good shape during school I played baseball all the way through and you know working out six hours a day usually six or seven days a week that kind of kept us all in pretty good shape
[speaker002:] uh-huh oh yeah oh yeah
[speaker001:] but uh ever ever since I got out of school you know just jumped right into the job and
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] I guess the job that I'm in it's stuff to stay on any kind of a regular schedule
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] because I work some weird hours and do some traveling and
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] no some
[speaker002:] um I walk a lot because uh you know being in in school we I don't know if your campus was anything like ours but our parking lot's in one end of the of the campus and the school the buildings are all at the other end so
[speaker001:] yeah no I didn't have well much of a problem we I guess I went to a small Baptist school and we had about when I was there maybe thirteen hundred people so it's pretty small yeah
[speaker002:] uh-huh oh okay that's if yeah yeah
[speaker001:] but I usually get in at least a couple of miles at work just walking around the plant
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] so
[speaker002:] yeah it's uh I live I live on the second story apartments so I walk up and down stairs all day long so
[speaker001:] uh uh we've got a one story house now that's that's enough I guess I push the lawn mower around that's fairly regular
[speaker002:] yeah that's one of the exercise now I I um
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] would like to start running I've never been much of a runner but I want to start I want to run but I don't I don't know if I'll be able to to do it
[speaker001:] what just because you you don't like to or because because you won't be able to
[speaker002:] I'm I'm afraid I won't be able to I wish I'd
[speaker001:] oh if you do if you do aerobics you shouldn't have any problem running
[speaker002:] yeah I hope not oh
[speaker001:] we've we've ride our bike occasionally but again not nearly often enough
[speaker002:] uh-huh I don't even own a bike I think the last time I was on a bike when I was about twelve so uh I don't know I'd be afraid afraid I probably forgot how to ride a bike you know
[speaker001:] no you can't forget how to ride a bike
[speaker002:] yeah but um no I guess that's about the only form I'm trying to think of of other things that I do that would be considered exercise or things I should do
[speaker001:] yeah now when I was going to I I went to a junior college for a couple of years and played baseball and then transferred well when we were at this junior college uh
[speaker002:] I know
[speaker001:] our coach you know we one semester the whole team was required to take aerobics and the next semester they were required to do weight lifting
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] so they uh I mean it was a regular I mean we had it for course credit but still I mean it was pretty high impact stuff
[speaker002:] uh-huh those aerobic classes are are tough the the high impact
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] definitely are are tough classes
[speaker001:] yeah and she'd uh you know most of the guys were all in one class so she'd kind of lay it on occasionally you know
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] first thing eight I think we had eight o'clock in the morning was our class
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] wake up
[speaker002:] well now they have those uh those exercise bands now that are better that you can use for like toning instead of using a weight you have like bands I don't know if you've seen them they're
[speaker001:] um-hum yeah I think my wife has some
[speaker002:] yeah they're they're weird they're uh you get uh they're just made of I guess it's different kinds of rubber uh and they get
[speaker001:] um-hum or sand even some of them well no they're elastic so I guess it wouldn't be sand
[speaker002:] uh-huh and there's some that like the different colors denotes how much they how much the tension I guess they are and how easy they are to move
[speaker001:] hum
[speaker002:] uh there's like I know there's purple gray and uh green and some of them are real short and they're the ones that are the tough ones to use you know
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] but uh those classes I I enjoy uh I think uh with the aerobic classes you have to get an instructor that's fun if you don't have one that's fun and not enjoy it look not acting like she's enjoying what she's doing the class is not going to get out uh what they should get out of the class
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] uh if the
[speaker001:] so are you going to get into instructing well what are you studying
[speaker002:] oh I'm an interior design major
[speaker001:] oh okay not in the not in the aerobic instructor type field
[speaker002:] oh no no no no oh I could never do that I don't think I'd rather just be the student
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] and uh oh occasionally I do the weights at the health club but low weights just
[speaker001:] yeah the uh the some of the Nautilus equipment that I started seeing at the one that we used to go to was really interesting I mean they they they really know how to isolate each of the different muscle groups
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] with those things but man they are ah uh I don't know to me that was just too much of a hassle to get all geared up and take the time to drive over there and workout and then drive back
[speaker002:] um-hum right well they um I just noticed at our health club they they put on these computerized one these computerized machines and you set a speed on it and the weight and it and it makes you do it and it tells you like if you're going too slow it will say my grandmother could do this faster than you and stuff like a turtle goes faster and um it tells it and the whole place can hear what this machine is telling you
[speaker001:] a little negative reinforcement there while you're going
[speaker002:] yeah so uh do that stuff like that but just I've never used those machines I just use the regular machines and the free weights you know like little five pound hand weights and eight pound hand weights
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] just to do you know some bicep tricep exercises sit-ups of course
[speaker001:] yeah that's that's where I'm really starting to get noticeable I'm just getting real soft in the middle
[speaker002:] uh-huh oh yeah I think that's uh number one problem with everyone
[speaker001:] um-hum I haven't really started to put on a lot of weight I'm I guess I probably put on about ten nine or ten pounds since I stopped playing which was about four years ago
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] but I've just myself I just notice myself just really real soft and I'm sure I don't have near the endurance that I did
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] but I I intend I keep saying I intend to get back into it
[speaker002:] uh-huh yeah
[speaker001:] I just need to put the old nose to the grindstone I I I guess at that point it would turn into a task
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] I don't consider it fun doing that but
[speaker002:] right yeah I plan on getting back once I graduate next weekend
[speaker001:] next weekend all right
[speaker002:] next weekend yeah one week then I plan to get right back into it you know it's it does a lot for you I think makes you feel a lot better
[speaker001:] yeah oh no yeah there there's no no question the the end result is great and I I mean I enjoyed you know we when I was playing ball we could like run all day and not be tired you know
[speaker002:] uh-huh and I mean you feel so much better about yourself just that you know
[speaker001:] yeah um-hum
[speaker002:] you don't feel guilty when you eat that cake after dinner
[speaker001:] oh I still don't but
[speaker002:] oh yeah
[speaker001:] yeah well good luck on your graduation and your
[speaker002:] alrighty well thank you it was nice talking to you okay bye-bye
[speaker001:] yeah you too bye
