[speaker001:] Do yo-, are you on a reg-, regular exercise program right now?
[speaker002:] Yes, and I hate it [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] How about you?
[speaker001:] Oh, well, I'm kind of off and on.
[speaker002:] Off and on well, I guess I've been kind of off and on I've, uh,
[speaker001:] Right now I'm kind of off.
[speaker002:] Had some health problems that have led me to, uh, I'd say more on than off [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Okay, what type of exercise do you do?
[speaker002:] Uh, I do walking on the treadmill, and then I do low impact aerobics.
[speaker001:] Okay. I guess you don't enjoy that very much.
[speaker002:] Not, not really.
[speaker001:] Do you find that, uh, to be boring?
[speaker002:] Yeah, and time consuming, I mean it's not just the exercise that's boring and time consuming, it's, uh, you know, afterwards, you know, then you have to take a shower and get cleaned up, you know.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Well, I'm trying to get back in shape for softball this spring.
[speaker002:] Oh, yeah.
[speaker001:] But I,
[speaker002:] Do you go through this, is this something that you go through every year [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Yeah, I haven't decided whether, whether I want to play yet or not I just bought myself a solo flex machine, I don't know if you've seen those advertised on T V.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] It's one of those, uh, universal type machines, exercise machines. But I haven't really sat down and used it match yet, so it's collecting dust right now.
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER] Yeah, a lot of things do that. I had an,
[speaker001:] I used to jog somewhat.
[speaker002:] I had an exercise bike I use to have one, and I finally got rid of sit cause I never used it, but I do use my treadmill [breathing].
[speaker001:] Uh-huh, well, that's good. Yeah, my parents have a treadmill it's, when I go visit them, uh, I get on that thing every now and then.
[speaker002:] Yeah, it's nice because when the weather's bad you can't, you don't have any [LAUGHTER] excuse.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh, I just got the bicycle out today, and it was real nice outside, had to get out to do something.
[speaker002:] Yeah, I can't ride a bike so.
[speaker001:] I've been sitting in here in the house all weekend with a cold so thought I,
[speaker002:] Oh.
[speaker001:] better, better get outside and do something and not waist the day.
[speaker002:] Yeah, it's too nice, it's been too nice all weekend.
[speaker001:] But, uh, yeah, I need to start jog something again. I've always of that to be, uh, really one of the best forms of exercise, but it's terribly boring, and so I really don't ever keep a program up consistently.
[speaker002:] Have you ever had any injuries from jogging?
[speaker001:] No, I never have. Well, I don't job enough I think to develop any injuries I usually only go about a mile or two.
[speaker002:] I guess it worries me about jogging it's that I hear that it's very hard on your body and, and that, you know, you can end up getting hurt,
[speaker001:] Yeah,
[speaker002:] worse.
[speaker001:] it's, it's tough on the joints if you jog on concrete,
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] or on asphalt. Suppose to be much better if you find grass, uh, or, or dirt to jog on.
[speaker002:] Yeah, that's not quite so [LAUGHTER],
[speaker001:] You have to have the right,
[speaker002:] so easy.
[speaker001:] type of shoes too, that's,
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] very important.
[speaker002:] Yeah. I found that,
[speaker001:] But,
[speaker002:] true especially from walking on toe and fronts.
[speaker001:] Yeah, I don't have to buy jogging shoes all to often my don't get very much use [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER] Well, I guess my breakdown about, they say about every six months.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh. I usually enjoy the exercise I do but, uh, like I said I'm just not very consistent about maintaining a, a program. So I'll, I'll bicycle I get into that for, for a little while and maybe go out, uh, on a consistent basis every couple of days and ride a bike for awhile, but then I'll get tired of doing that,
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] and maybe start jogging again and go out about three or four nights a week.
[speaker002:] .
[speaker001:] But, uh, that gets old too in a very short order,
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] I'm, I'm hoping that this, uh, solo flex will, uh, uh, change things a little bit, I really need to get on a regular type of program and use that thing on a consistent basis.
[speaker002:] Yeah, well, don't let it collect dust. At least exercise while dusting it off [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER] [breathing] well.
[speaker001:] Maybe if I can get interested in playing softball again this string I can, uh, start some type of, uh, regular program.
[speaker002:] Yeah, that, that'll be good.
[speaker001:] I've always found that, uh, when you write things down and set goals it's a lot easier to keep, uh, keep something going.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] Uh, when I was in high school we had a choice of, uh, taking, uh, physical education courses on exercise, an, uh, one of those involved a six weeks session on a universal machine, lifting weights and,
[speaker002:] Oh.
[speaker001:] uh, working out like that. And that was very helpful we kept charts of our progress,
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] and, uh, consistently increased the empty of resistance so you could see how much you improved over the weeks. I found that to be, uh, very helpful.
[speaker002:] Are you going to do that?
[speaker001:] Uh, I need to,
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] I haven't started yet but, uh, [LAUGHTER] it's a thought.
[speaker002:] Well, that sounds like something good to do then.
[speaker001:] Sounds like something I should do.
[speaker002:] Yeah, nice way to start off this spring.
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Get back in shape.
[speaker001:] How often do you, uh, uh, go out each week on your walking?
[speaker002:] Well, I do, I switch every other day one day I walk and one day I do the aerobics.
[speaker001:] Okay, how far, about how far do you go walking?
[speaker002:] [Breathing] Well, I'm trying to get my tolerance now I just had surgery, um, less then two months ago, and right now I'm just a little over about a mile and a half,
[speaker001:] Okay.
[speaker002:] but I'm trying to workup to three miles.
[speaker001:] Well, that's good. Well they say that walking is just as good if not better then jogging.
[speaker002:] Yeah,
[speaker001:] It,
[speaker002:] it takes, it's just that it takes longer to get to the same effect.
[speaker001:] Sure.
[speaker002:] Yeah, but.
[speaker001:] Well, if you keep up with a consistent pace just to, uh, keep the heart rating going, uh,
[speaker002:] My walkman broke,
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] so I'm upset [LAUGHTER],
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] and I just have to turn to stereo up real loud [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] But it's a lot less stressful on the joints then jogging is.
[speaker002:] Yeah, it is and this doesn't, you know, my treadmill has an incline and, you know, you can get a really good workout on it.
[speaker001:] Um, do you go to an aerobics class or do you watch,
[speaker002:] No, I,
[speaker001:] on T V?
[speaker002:] I just do it on T V,
[speaker001:] Okay.
[speaker002:] I have a cassette.
[speaker001:] Which, uh, shows do you watch on T V?
[speaker002:] Um, it's a, it's a tap-, I use tapes.
[speaker001:] Oh, okay, okay, like a Cathy Smith workout,
[speaker002:] Or, or Richard Simmons,
[speaker001:] or Jane Fonda.
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Okay [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Sweating to the oldies [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Right. I, ev-, every now and then I'll watch E S P N, I get cable on T V,
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] and they have, uh, a couple of shows called basic training, and, uh, what is the other one called.
[speaker002:] There was one guy I use to watch on E S P N, I don't know if he's still on any more or not, I don-, I don't know if I get E S P N or not [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] But, uh, one, you know, I use to watch one, watch one on the air, but that was back,
[speaker001:] BODIES IN MOTION that's, that's the name of the one I was thinking of.
[speaker002:] That's was, yeah.
[speaker001:] With Gill.
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] .
[speaker002:] Yeah, I watched that cause he was cute [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Yeah, [LAUGHTER] he-, he-, he's not bad his assistants usually aren't either.
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] But, uh,
[speaker001:] They're always in, in Hawaii some place.
[speaker002:] Yeah, yeah.
[speaker001:] On, on the beach.
[speaker002:] But then that was back when, uh, you know, the high impact and,
[speaker001:] Yeah, well, they, they do low I pact stuff now, [typo? I pact impact] *why utt? this is notes about transcription
[speaker002:] Do they.
[speaker001:] they're on every day.
[speaker002:] Are the-, yeah they're still, they're still, he's still doing it then, uh.
[speaker001:] Yeah, every morning.
[speaker002:] I'll have to tune in.
[speaker001:] It's on E S P N, uh, at what time, I can't remember what time. It's, uh, you know, I can't remember offhand what time.
[speaker002:] I'll have to check it, check,
[speaker001:] Yeah .
[speaker002:] check, check it back up, and, but the thing is everybody always looks so good on that show, at least on [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Yeah, every now and then.
[speaker002:] Not everybody has a picture perfect body.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh, well, I found that they, they have just a much better program than the other shows that are on T V.
[speaker002:] I haven't watch any other ones on T V. [typo watchwatched]
[speaker001:] They're on weekdays at eleven o'clock every day.
[speaker002:] Just on some of the tapes.
[speaker001:] Monday through Friday incase you're interested in that. [typo incasein case] *again why utt?
[speaker002:] Okay, [LAUGHTER] thanks.
[speaker001:] I actually taped a few session that they had on there but,
[speaker002:] Now, that's a thought.
[speaker001:] uh, I haven't done so much as, uh, watch the tape that I made.
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] So I'm kind of bad about that myself.
[speaker002:] Well, that's thought, I haven't thought about that, well they're going to beep us pretty soon.
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER] Okay, well, I sure enjoyed,
[speaker002:] Nice talking to you too.
[speaker001:] to you about exercise and fitness.
[speaker002:] Okay, thanks.
[speaker001:] So, all right.
[speaker002:] Talk to you later.
[speaker001:] Good night.
[speaker002:] Bye.
[speaker001:] Bye.
