[speaker001:] Well my exercise program consists of, uh, you know, it's, it's a opportunity to stay alive really.
[speaker002:] [Music] [TV] Huh.
[speaker001:] Instead of, you know, wasting my, my, the, you know, the, trying to exist on the latency of my youth, the good health of my youth. I'm, and what I like to do is I like to stretch out and I like to run, uh, m-, I'm, I like to run, get my heartbeat up. I like to run about, oh, about two, two and a half miles. And then I like to work out on, uh, on the, uh, the Bailey Life C-, Cycle machines up here at the, at the Holiday Spa. And, and I, I think that, you know, I've had a regiment now for about, you know, ten, fifteen years of, of doing that and, uh, and I, I kind of think it's, uh, it's a lot of work but I think it's, uh, it's a lot of work but I think it's, uh, it's the, uh, the amount of effort that's required to, uh, to stay healthy, you know. I have a sedentary job and, uh, unless you do something like that, y-, you're going to get sick.
[speaker002:] Right. Yeah, I'm, I need to get, I'm, I'm pretty bad about that. I'm lazy. I should, I know I want, I always say that I need to get run-, start running and I'm going to try and do that this summer. Because I never have time. I, I always put it off. By the time I get back from classes it's late at night and I don't feel like going back over to the gym and running on the track or whatever. Because I'm, I'm getting a gut here. I got to [LAUGHTER] get back into shape.
[speaker001:] Well, I, uh, two years ago I started having trouble with my knee. And, uh, you know, I've got, you know, I figured well, it'll go away. Well I s-, you know, I'm, I've had to reduce my program, reduce my program and I've gained fifteen pounds.
[speaker002:] Huh.
[speaker001:] And so, uh, you know, it's, e-, you know, I need to get back into swimming, you know, instead of running. If I can't swim or I can't run, I should be able to swim. Well I'm such a terrible swimmer and I, I, I really feel I can, I can dedicate about an hour, an hour and fifteen minutes f-, to this effort. But if it gets longer than that I, I, i-, it, I start not doing anything.
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] And so, so I got a real problem in that regard. Uh, it, do, you obviously are, are not an exercise buff or else you'd be out there doing it.
[speaker002:] Yeah. I mean, I do it, I guess, I'm going to do it, uh, because I want to get in shape. I'm not, it's not something I really enjoy all that much that, I'll, I'll probably, I mean once I get into it and I, if I, if I get into better shape then it'll be, it won't be as much of a, a chore to me.
[speaker001:] Well, it's, it's always a chore. I mean
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] I started doing this when I was about thirty-five
[speaker002:] Huh.
[speaker001:] and now I'm fifty-five.
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] And, uh, you know, I, I know that in, I just know that I'm going to get blown away with some, some piece of nonsense. Y-, you know, some health related thing is going to blow me away. That's the same way, I got too much weight on right now. I
[speaker002:] Right.
[speaker001:] need to lose fifty pounds, you know. I need to lose at least twenty, you know. But, uh, you know, it's, it's just, uh, I'm busy. I'm doing a lot of traveling and, uh, it, it creates a problem, uh, you know, when you're on the road. What sort of, uh, uh, what other programs other than say running? Have you, have you ever done anything at all?
[speaker002:] Yeah, I have. Uh, sit-ups or, al-, also last summer I was doing Nautilus or last year [cough] I'm, uh, belong to a club right here. Got kind of expensive, uh, to r-, to r-, renew. They wanted another fifty dollars. * Seems to be clearly 2 slash units2 complete sentences
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] That was a little bit too much money. But, uh, doing a mix of Nautilus and free weights. I like that.
[speaker001:] club, what club are you with?
[speaker002:] I'm sorry?
[speaker001:] What club were you with?
[speaker002:] It's called, oh, what was it called [LAUGHTER]. City Sports, downtown Washington.
[speaker001:] Oh. Okay. So you're, you're down, you're downtown.
[speaker002:] Yeah. I'm at, I'm at, I go to George Washington University.
[speaker001:] Okay. Yeah. You're down there on, you know, twentieth and eighteenth and
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] F G.
[speaker002:] It's, uh, Plaza.
[speaker001:] Oh. Well, I'd, uh, well there's a, there's a Holiday Spa down there on, on K street, I think. Something like that. But, uh, I, I go to the Holiday Spa here in Alexandria and that's pretty good. But, you know, evening time it gets pretty busy. But generally, you know, I can, I can get in and get a program, you know.
[speaker002:] Right.
[speaker001:] But, uh, you know, I, I need to, I need to rededicate myself to, uh, to doing this and, uh, I got a problem, uh, you know, ever since my knee went bad, of getting back solidly into it. I mean, I've been doing this for fifteen, twenty years.
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] And, you know, and I'm, I know I'm going to get, I know it's going to bite me in the ass and so I, I really don't want to, want to, uh, you know, back off on it.
[speaker002:] Yeah. It's something, I think, uh, I'm young, I should get started getting into shape. I don't want to, I want, I mean at one point it's going to be too late to do it..
[speaker001:] Well, no. When you're young,
[speaker002:] [Cough].
[speaker001:] you, [NOISE] you can abuse your, your, all your systems and you can recover.
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] Uh, when you get to be my age and you start abusing your systems, you get blown away.
[speaker002:] Huh [music] [TV].
[speaker001:] And just wind up having to kiss your ass good-bye, you know. And, uh, and so the object,
