[speaker001:] so do you do any
[speaker002:] well it's kind of I do when I don't uh I go I go in spurts unfortunately I can't get as as regular and dedicated as as I probably should
[speaker001:] yeah yeah well it's it's hard to get uh it's hard to maintain a a real level of uh I don't know what you'd call it I guess motivation at least for me it is I mean
[speaker002:] where where you where you are you'd probably have to you know the weather probably doesn't cooperate with you you so you would have to belong to a gym or something and
[speaker001:] yeah I actually I lift weights pretty regular now and I've done it for the last oh I don't know ten twelve years so it works pretty well for me but still it's like you say the motivation is not always there especially in the cold weather
[speaker002:] yeah yeah
[speaker001:] and I'm not real used to the cold up here anyway just because I'm from Florida really
[speaker002:] oh gosh that was a shock I bet
[speaker001:] so yeah a bit a bit so uh but I don't know it's it's good to get it you get that good feeling you know when you get done and and you're glad you did it I guess but um
[speaker002:] well growing up I was always um fairly athletic and always um you know I didn't really have to think about an exercise routine because I was always doing something that more or less required exercise
[speaker001:] right sure
[speaker002:] but um I've been in a job lately where I've been working some really long hours and some nights and weekends and
[speaker001:] uh-huh that makes it rough because then
[speaker002:] it makes you you lose every bit of muscle tone you ever thought about having and then to try to work your way back from that is is why I can't really get
[speaker001:] sure yeah that's
[speaker002:] I'll start up and I'll do pretty religiously and then I'll have to work till midnight one night or something and then you know
[speaker001:] right and that just screws up your whole schedule
[speaker002:] oops are you there oh I don't know what that was
[speaker001:] yeah oh wow you're sounding a lot clearer now
[speaker002:] I think there's some wrong with the phone or something I think sometimes when they connect it up it it doesn't work right or or something's not exactly right
[speaker001:] oh yeah that's pretty weird um but yeah I I don't know I I do a lot of stuff or I at least I have in the past done a lot of weird a lot of different activities um and moving down here is is in a way kind of or moving up here is pretty bad because I can't do as much as I used to because the weather just doesn't permit it you know so
[speaker002:] yeah sure I mean like if your favorite thing is swimming you'd have to join a you know a some club that has a pool and then you have to fight the crowds and that sort of thing
[speaker001:] exactly and and it is you know I mean exactly it's just a hassle at time
[speaker002:] everybody I know that belongs to a health club here in Dallas the better ones are always crowded at the times when you'd be more sure you know more likely to use it like right after work or
[speaker001:] sure everybody gets off of work
[speaker002:] you know during lunch hours or you know right before work and that sort of thing so people end up exercising at really odd hours and I can't exercise you know late at night because it keeps me awake
[speaker001:] right um-hum sure oh yeah
[speaker002:] I mean you know once you you know I've got I bought myself a one of these little um they call it a cross trainer or something like that it's got um
[speaker001:] kind of like a Soloflex or something
[speaker002:] yeah it's got uh and it's got a stair climber and it's got the the kind of bench and you can do the leg lifting things and the the bench press thing and it's got a butterfly thing and
[speaker001:] um-hum oh that's good
[speaker002:] you know it's got a lot of different stuff on it and I mainly got it because you know like I say since I've gotten so out of shape and everything I forget and I'll do something
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] not thinking about that I don't have the muscle to do it anymore and I injured my rotator cuff on one arm really badly and the doctor was kind of like well you know you're gonna have to
[speaker001:] uh right uh oh learn to take it easy
[speaker002:] get some yeah get some build up some muscle tone in in your upper arms or it's gonna always be a problem and it might have to be operated on and you know all this kind of stuff so
[speaker001:] right
[speaker002:] you know I I got this machine to try to because I I one thing I did kind of keep up doing was I like to walk
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] and I like to ride my bicycle so when the weather's okay you know I can do that but um you know having to
[speaker001:] sure
[speaker002:] do something for the shoulder or the arm or something I I had to get a machine to do that and so I have it in my house because I know if I had to get home from work change clothes and go somewhere to a club I just wouldn't do it
[speaker001:] right uh-huh right yeah it it'd be too much of a hassle
[speaker002:] and when when you're working really hard and you come in the door you don't wanna turn around and go back out again I mean I have enough trouble you know just doing I do a lot of volunteer work and
[speaker001:] yeah oh you do
[speaker002:] and some stuff like that it it's all I can do just to force myself to turn around and go back out and do that kind of stuff
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] so you know
[speaker001:] yeah it when I'm living in Florida I'm I'm an intern up here at Honeywell and when I live in Florida it's it's a lot easy you know it's it everything's nice out and my parents live down there now and my dad's been getting into roller blading lately he roller blades all around the I don't know if that's popular where you're at
[speaker002:] it
