[speaker002:] well what kind of exercise do you do
[speaker001:] uh well on a daily basis uh at lunch time I take a brisk walk for twenty minutes along with a friend at work
[speaker002:] okay
[speaker001:] I am uh paying for a lifetime membership with President's Health Spa
[speaker002:] you're paying for it but not utilizing it too much
[speaker001:] well I don't I don't get there very often but um I figure one of these days I will
[speaker002:] um yeah I'm not I'm not currently uh enrolled in a athletic club or anything uh I try to get out and do a little bit of running during the week uh when the weather is good or it's a little tough in the winter when it gets dark so early but um uh I try to get out as much as I can
[speaker001:] um-hum um-hum well I have an exercise bike um also that's that's in my my house
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] and it just sits there
[speaker002:] sits there and collects dust huh
[speaker001:] um-hum not doing me very much good
[speaker002:] uh I I lived in Colorado quite a few years and I was more inspired to workout there just because the weather was uh clear more of the time and and I like to stay in better shape to go out and do a lot of skiing and things like that and since I moved to Dallas I guess I haven't been as inspired to get out and do as much
[speaker001:] um-hum um-hum well I I'm from New York and I'm a lot more inspired here in Dallas than I was there because there's a lot more uh open space
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] and you just you just see a lot more people doing it you know outside outside all of the time
[speaker002:] yeah I I find it kind of uh kind of a chore I guess to go uh uh on a regular
[speaker001:] and
[speaker002:] schedule to work working out inside I'd much rather be outside either bicycling or or running or doing that type of thing
[speaker001:] hm um-hum speaking of bicycling I saw a uh a video in uh Blockbusters and it was something for you to sit on your bike and look at while you're you're um you're doing your workout have you
[speaker002:] uh-huh oh is it like a scenery or something
[speaker001:] yeah it's like you're going through hills or something and it's
[speaker002:] yeah I guess you can put it in a higher gear if you wanted wanted to pretend you're going up the hill
[speaker001:] yeah have you have you watched one of those yeah
[speaker002:] no I haven't but I I have seen some things uh uh advertised in videos like that and I've heard some athletic clubs have uh have machines with a screen like that and that actually the computer uh when when it shows you're going up a hill it actually makes the bike peddle harder and things like that
[speaker001:] oh wow
[speaker002:] and so it it uh trying to be a little bit realistic I guess they have the nice scenery like you know uh biking up some mountain road or something like that
[speaker001:] yeah yeah um I keep saying I'm going to um rent one and maybe I I'll get to to get on my bike and and use it
[speaker002:] yeah we bought a uh stepper and uh in the winter time I've tired to use that uh a couple of times a week just because it's so hard to get outside and
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] and and do much in the way of either you like say fast walking or uh running I work downtown and it not as convenient to get out at lunchtime downtown Dallas although there there is a Y very close I guess I could do that
[speaker001:] um-hum um-hum well they have those steppers in President's although I haven't I haven't used one of them but I do see people on them and they they're supposed to be really really really a great uh workout
[speaker002:] there they they do work you pretty good and um other things I've used that give you pretty good workout uh the rowing machines aren't to bad and one of the best ones although good for people who aren't used to cross country skiing those Nordic uh skiing machines give you a real good workout but if you are not used to that some people don't like it because they don't feel like they they have good
[speaker001:] um-hum um-hum
[speaker002:] balance I guess it's it it's better if you know how to cross country ski before you use those
[speaker001:] um-hum yeah I've been on the rowing machine at uh President's and uh I I like that
[speaker002:] what's the I've I've heard some other people uh not too happy with President's uh they join and then it seems like that they don't have a lot of good things to say about it
[speaker001:] well well one thing I find that you know once the first time I joined and went in there they they measured me and weighed and weighed me and all this stuff and wrote my name down on a little card and they show take you around they show you all the equipment and then you never see hear from them again you know you you're really basically on your own
[speaker002:] oh the yeah
[speaker001:] you know they tell you how many of these to do and many of those to do and then you you know they never like call you back and say well it's time for us to see how
[speaker002:] yeah
