[speaker001:] [Throat clearing].
[speaker002:] [Swallowing] [talking] You want to go first [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Well, uh, no I don-, I don't get as much exercise as I, as I should as, or as I would like to, uh, uh, these days. I, seems to be to easy to get busy with other things. Uh, I have, in the past, uh, jogged and, and run, and every, every January and every September, I start out again and then it tapers off [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Really?
[speaker001:] Uh, what about you?
[speaker002:] Well, yeah, I do a lot of exercise. Right now, I'm into jazzercise, which I absolutely love. Uh, I started about two years ago because I gained some weight over the past few years and I wanted to get it back off
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] and I was going through a divorce and I just found that running really made me feel good.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] Got out a lot of aggression. I went to the gym every day and I ran on the treadmill and rode the bike and, uh, I felt really good. I needed to do it and it was really helpful at the time. Now when I do those things, they're boring. I would rather be outside then [NOISE] in the gym doing this in one place.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] And so I just recently discovered jazzercise, about two months ago. And I'm getting to be a good dancer from it and I'm just feeling really good. I love the class, it's real challenging, so I'm really into that,
[speaker001:] [Snorting].
[speaker002:] I really like that a lot.
[speaker001:] Well now that, is that, uh, that's related to the, the aerobic, uh,,
[speaker002:] It is, it's aerobics but it's with dance steps.
[speaker001:] Okay.
[speaker002:] It's an aerobic exercise and it's an hour straight. And it's just, uh, it's a lot of fun. I feel like I'm not just exercising.
[speaker001:] Yeah, yeah.
[speaker002:] Because I'm dancing and I'm, I'm getting much better. My stamina is getting great for the dance floor [LAUGHTER], so
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] I mean it's just, there's a lot of positive things with it, so.
[speaker001:] Well, uh, okay. Now that's inside again, right?
[speaker002:] It is inside and I've
[speaker001:] But,
[speaker002:] been doing a lot of bike riding outside with the nice weather we've been having and I just enjoy that much more too than inside.
[speaker001:] Do, do you like to do it wi-, with other people. I mean like the, the jazzercise would be?
[speaker002:] I have a thirteen year old daughter and so we go bike riding and it's nice. We get
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] to spend some time together rather than I go to the gym while she does her homework.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] So I've enjoyed that part of it. Yeah. And at the gym, even in the class, uh, I, w-, e-, it's not really a group where you chat a lot. Everybody's on their way to someplace
[speaker001:] Right.
[speaker002:] and so, you know, I do
[speaker001:] But,
[speaker002:] have one friend who goes occasionally but, basically, I do it by myself in a group of maybe forty [LAUGHTER], so.
[speaker001:] Yeah, right. Right. But still there are, there are other people there doing the, doing the same thing.
[speaker002:] There are, there are. It's more motivating that way, I think. Yeah.
[speaker001:] In terms of motivation and incentive, yeah.
[speaker002:] You could get a tape probably and do it at home in front of the T V but i-, you probably wouldn't.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] So.
[speaker001:] Yeah, uh, that makes a difference doesn't it?
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] I, I've, one thing, when, when I have [swallowing] run and jogged, uh, I've always enjoyed doing it by myself and, and, kno-, not with the sense that it was, uh, uh, chore or something that I was having to do, I, I've really enjoyed just the activity and, uh, [sigh] I write software, uh, as far as the job and so getting out and being active, uh, is, uh, uh, helps out. The, th-, it's
[speaker002:] Yeah, yeah, I can see it'll be a good break.
[speaker001:] The ch-, the chan-, the change of pace and just
[speaker002:] Right.
[speaker001:] getting out and around and I find that I can often, you know, often, uh, when I get around to doing it, then I, I feel better when I get back to work
[speaker002:] Uh-huh [faint].
[speaker001:] and, uh, uh, also that, that, it, my subconscious is working on things while I'm working
[speaker002:] Yeah [faint].
[speaker001:] and I, I go back and I've got new ideas, but still.
[speaker002:] Yeah. I think you do. You feel very good after you exercise. I think
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] it's worth making the time for yourself. You owe it to yourself [NOISE]
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] and I think you do accomplish [NOISE] more after that.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] And I think that it's just is good for your self-esteem, for everything because when you look better, you feel better and it's just, uh, I think it's well worth it. I just demand that time for myself. Now I've learned to do that
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] and, you know, and it's, I think it just benefits you all around. So.
[speaker001:] Yeah, I think that's, uh, I think that's a good term, d-, demanding the time for yourself. That you've just got to
[speaker002:] You have to. Because
[speaker001:] you've just got to prior-,
[speaker002:] there's always more things to do.
[speaker001:] Right.
[speaker002:] There is always things that you can make priority to it but I just, I don't demand a lot for myself and so
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] you know, I just feel entitled to it and I take it [LAUGHTER], so.
[speaker001:] Well good, well good. Well, uh, uh, have you, have you done any jogging? I tell you, you said you did on the bike and on the treadmill in, in the, uh, club.
[speaker002:] [Sigh] No, I've done some walking with friends in the past.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] But I find that when you do that, you do more chatting than you do
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] exercise and that's not really beneficial, so, uh
[speaker001:] Yeah, yeah.
[speaker002:] I don't have time like that and I spend enough time chatting around [LAUGHTER] everywhere, you know [talking].
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
