Have you joined the Gym yet ?

     We are back in our routine again.  I, for one, am so glad.  I do enjoy the holidays but they seem to go on forever (Ha!).  Have I told you how great our gym is ?  I'm not kidding, it is the best all around.  As I have told you earlier, on many occasions, it's the best decision you will ever make.  Believe me I have a number of reasons.  First of all, and probably one of the most important reasons is, your Health.  It gets you to move.  It's so easy as we get older to sit.  You are no longer running after kids, or running here and there.  Your time seems to be pretty much free and open.  You could just bake, on the off chance someone will drop by for a visit.  Ha!  Visit ?  What in the world is that ?  With all the cell phones and high tech emails, etc., the word visit doesn't even exist anymore.  I know I sound like I'm eating sour grapes and maybe I am, just a little.  I have tried to be in the tech age, I mean here I am on the web with my own blog, and I must admit I do love it.  Especially hearing from all of you out there and it has helped to realize a lot of you feel the same way I do.  But getting back to the gym, do look into it.  Jim and I joined last April at "In Motion Fitness," in Chico, CA.  We love it.  We joined the Senior Wellness Program and have never regretted it.  The staff is caring, profession, and believe me knows what they are doing.  The other members are super.  I mean they are Seniors like ourselves and wanting to be active.  It doesn't mean we are training for a run, or to go hiking, although some of them are doing just that.  It means we want to stay in shape and be healthy for the rest of our lives.  Now, I ask you, doesn't that sound like something you would be interested in.  Believe it or not, we are in a aqua class.  Yes, you guessed right.  We are swimming and it's an outdoor pool.  First of all it is heated and oh, feels so good, plus we are undercover.  That is we have a roof over us.  The rest is outside.  It's funny, just the other morning we were joking you couldn't see the bathroom doors because of the fog.  I did say fog, and I'm not kidding.  We really do work out in the water, hey, you better keep moving as it will feel cold if you don't.  What is nice is you have other members there  with you and get ready here is that unknown word......we visit along with exercising.  It's great !  So don't delay, get out there and check out the gyms in your area.  Find out what they have to offer for you.  Ask about a Senior Wellness program.  If they don't have one, ask why not.  Don't just sit around, get moving.  Tootles
