[speaker001:] Ok.
[speaker002:] Ok, I was watching the soap opera awards.
[speaker001:] Oh [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] And, uh, it is really making me want to exercise because every single woman in the audience is, uh, about ten pounds.
[speaker001:] Oh [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] So. Uh, I started anchoring last, uh, anchoring, uh,
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] exercising last, about last Spring, when I, uh, joined the President's Health Club.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] And, I was really motivated and going, and, uh, I went, uh, for a little while, uh. I went pretty regular, but it is hard to go regularly for a long time.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] And where I live in Waco, uh, they do not have anywhere here that is affiliated with President's so now I do not have a club and I am, uh, I do not have any motivation to just go out and jog aimlessly or something like that, so I am not exercising at the time, at the moment.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] So, I wish I could. I wish I did have the motivation to get out and do that, but I just do not like just running with no where to go [LAUGHTER]. I just cannot do that. So,
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER] Well, I understand that. I have been trying to get myself motivated. I had gone, gotten up regularly for awhile with a neighbor. Uh, she had injured her back and needed a walking partner and I thought that would be the time to get going.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] And so, we walked pretty steadily for about three weeks and, uh, then she had to get back to work and which was [inhaling] traveling to New York and so she is not around.
[speaker002:] Uh.
[speaker001:] And I just don't like walking by myself at night or in the dark of the morning
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] I don't seem to find time in the day time.
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] And of course, it is motivation that is keeping me from really looking for that opportunity.
[speaker002:] I think a lot of the times, if you have someone to, uh, work out with, or walk with, or something, it does give you that motivation.
[speaker001:] Oh, yeah.
[speaker002:] And you can also, I mean you can, you know, pretty much do it privately if you had your own private, uh, sort of contest. You know
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] where you would try and see if you could lose more weight than your friend or something like that.
[speaker001:] Yeah. Yeah.
[speaker002:] And that would keep you going.
[speaker001:] Well, more than weight, of course, I could lose, uh, lose certainly
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] from ten to twenty pounds
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] but I think more than that, I also notice I just feel better when I exercise.
[speaker002:] Oh, yeah.
[speaker001:] And that is something that I am motivated about now because I do need to get myself feeling better
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] just in better shape. But, uh, all the same it is connected to my attitude, because I am not feeling as perky and good. I am also, it is hard to get my attitude to, uh, to get myself up there.
[speaker002:] That is very true. It seems like you walk quicker. You just, perky is a good word for it
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] when you exercise.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] And I understand that walking is suppose to be the, like, the best exercise. Better than running.
[speaker001:] Yeah. Yeah.
[speaker002:] Things like that cause it, it works everything
[speaker001:] And you have
[speaker002:] and it gets your breathing up
[speaker001:] less chance
[speaker002:] and it doesn't
[speaker001:] of hurting yourself.
[speaker002:] yeah, it doesn't hurt you. Like, I understand running hurt your shins or knees or something like that.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] So.
[speaker001:] Last time I tried running with my daughter cause she is supposed to be jogging in P E and it felt good, but then I had pulled a muscle in my knee. Actually, I hyper extended it or something, and, uh
[speaker002:] Wow.
[speaker001:] boy, I was suffering for about three weeks later.
[speaker002:] Wow.
[speaker001:] So, and I have never had that problem before
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] but I guess that age just starts to catch up to me [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Uh, oh [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER] It is showing up in the weirdest places.
[speaker002:] I guess my, my, favorite exercise, in the, uh, in the gym, is the bikes.
[speaker001:] Oh, is it?
[speaker002:] To go, yeah, there are these stationery bikes that you just ride and if you watch television, they usually have television in there or something, or if you listen to a walkman, it is pretty, it is pretty okay. Again, that is sort of weird, because you, you, are not going anywhere and, uh, I use to play racquetball
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] and I really liked that, because, you know, to me it had a point.
[speaker001:] Yeah [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] You know, uh, there were points you could, you would make and there was a point to it, but running and jogging and just not going anywhere is just, I don't like that, [LAUGHTER] I just can't understand that. So, I don't do,
[speaker001:] Yeah. Well, I have got a dog now and, of course, she needs walking
[speaker002:] Uh, yeah.
[speaker001:] and that is a little less trau-, uh, burdensome or boring to be walking at least with her.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] And I can put on the earphones to have something to listen to and,
[speaker002:] Yeah. I know a lot of people just to be safe, like you were talking about, walking at night and in the morning
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] or early in the morning. Uh, you see a lot of, uh, mostly older people though but, that, uh, walk in the malls.
[speaker001:] Oh, yeah.
[speaker002:] You know, like early in the mornings and things like that. I have never tried that.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] I don't know. You know, I have never even thought about it really.
[speaker001:] Yeah. That is kind of an idea. We, we have, uh, over here in Plano, a little recreation center that has got, uh, a walking track, that it is also for security as well as the convenience of doing it any time of the year.
[speaker002:] Uh.
[speaker001:] But, I find it very tedious because I am watching the clock constantly, and it
[speaker002:] Oh.
[speaker001:] there is just nothing else to look at and I actually get more tired doing that, than I could walk for three or four miles out in the neighborhood here and feel real good. There I could barely make a couple of miles [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Uh-huh. And that is a little less,
