all right
 	
 	
 		
 
 		oh
 		okay are you on an exercise program now or
 	
 	
 		yeah i exercise pretty regularly
 	
 	
 		uh-huh
 	
 	
 		i lift weights quite a bit
 	
 	
 		uh-huh
 	
 	
 		um i run occasionally
 		let's see what else do i do play golf some
 		and
 		i work out on a
 		a hanging bag i'm brown belt in karate so i keep up with that a little bit
 	
 	
 		uh-huh
 		oh yeah
 	
 	
 		how about you
 	
 	
 		um the only exercise program i'm doing right now is walking
 	
 	
 		um-hum
 	
 	
 		i've got a nine month old and i'm four months pregnant with my second and so at the time walking seems to be the best it's something i can do with her plus um
 		doesn't tax me too physically
 	
 	
 		um-hum um-hum
 	
 	
 		i have enjoyed aerobics in the past and i enjoy that because i like the group association you know like exercising with other people
 	
 	
 		yeah
 	
 	
 		and um
 		and that's my favorite way to exercise
 	
 	
 		well that's neat
 	
 	
 		but
 	
 	
 		yeah i do walk some too my wife's about five months along so she's been walking quite a bit so that that is a good exercise for that
 	
 	
 		oh
 		yeah it's it's it's nice to do it together too i guess
 	
 	
 		um-hum
 	
 	
 		because my husband and i used to walk together but our schedules don't coincide as well as they used to and so
 		we very seldom get together to walk but
 		when you when you work out do you pretty much do it on your own schedule or do you go to groups or
 	
 	
 		i i i do it on my own schedule
 	
 	
 		um-hum
 	
 	
 		we used to try and belong to
 		clubs or the Y stuff like that but it so difficult to go on a regular basis to drive to drive the distance you have to go and
 	
 	
 		um-hum
 	
 	
 		save the fees we've decided we just save the fees and and buy some of our own equipment so
 	
 	
 		and then you can do it whenever you want i guess
 	
 	
 		yeah yeah i've got a weight bench and we got my wife an exercise bike and i use that sometimes too
 	
 	
 		um-hum
 	
 	
 		so it's a little more convenient but you're i guess you're not as dedicated if you don't drive over do it
 	
 	
 		
 
 	
 	
 		
 
 	
 	
 		i guess it depends on the person depends on how motivated you are
 	
 	
 		um-hum
 	
 	
 		because my husband used to work out three days a week with uh at the Texas Instruments gym
 	
 	
 		uh-huh
 	
 	
 		and then i would just go on Saturdays but  since the first of the year neither one of us have been going
 	
 	
 		yeah
 	
 	
 		so  you know like you said we've been paying these fees and not going so it's kind of a a waste of money if you don't take advantage of it
 	
 	
 		yeah i i think you really have to be disciplined
 	
 	
 		yeah
 	
 	
 		i uh i i try to work out at at least a couple of times a week
 		and i i think you really have to at least twice a week just to maintain the shape that you're in
 	
 	
 		yeah
 		oh with the walking i think they they said you need to walk at least twelve miles a week for it to be aerobically
 		beneficial
 	
 	
 		um-hum
 	
 	
 		and we i have two friends that we walk they have babies that are about the same age as as mine and we've been walking every morning at going when it was cold we'd go to the mall it's because you can't take the babies out very easily
 	
 	
 		yeah
 	
 	
 		so uh so we when we go we have about do about fifteen miles a week but the last little while for one the reason or another we haven't been real consistent so
 		it's a little harder when you depending on other people to do it with you
 	
 	
 		um-hum
 	
 	
 		because you have to meet their schedules as well but
 	
 	
 		true
 	
 	
 		but i enjoy doing it more when i've got other people with me than
 		and i usually do it because i want to because i know it's good for me not because you know i don't i don't feel obligated to do it and i enjoy it
 	
 	
 		um-hum
 	
 	
 		if i if i feel too obligated to do it i i start to rebel and i won't be as consistent with it
 	
 	
 		yeah i understand
 		did you exercise between your first child and your second
 	
 	
 		i uh i exercised pretty well up until i found or until i was pregnant and i started having pains so i've calmed down everything except i was working out doing aerobic exercises as well as the um walking
 	
 	
 		um-hum
 		
 
 		yeah
 	
 	
 		and i had to stop the aerobics because it was just kind of
 		painful but the the TI rec center has an aerobics program for for um prenatal and postnatal aerobic type thing
 	
 	
 		hm
 	
 	
 		and i was going to wait until um about my sixth month and then start doing that i did that with the second baby and um i went to my exercise class exercise class one day and then she was delivered the next day
 	
 	
 		gosh
 	
 	
 		so it it would seem to be real beneficial
 	
 	
 		um-hum
 		yeah
 		maybe it maybe it speeded up the process and all that
 	
 	
 		well i think it made parts of it a lot easier i i is this your first that you're having
 	
 	
 		uh-huh
 	
 	
 		oh okay well then i don't know how much you've been through it but um i think parts of it made a lot easier
 		and i've talked to a lot of ladies that exercise with one pregnancy and didn't with the other and they said that they'd exercise the one that had exercised was three or four times easier and
 	
 	
 		really
 	
 	
 		and we've i had having both of them natural the first one was natural and going natural the second and
 		and it was it's rough but it's not as as bad as i thought it would be
 	
 	
 		um-hum
 	
 	
 		and i think the exercise helped
 	
 	
 		well that's good
 	
 	
 		so do you work with TI
 	
 	
 		no i don't
 		my my wife has been working with them
 	
 	
 		oh okay well then she could go if she was interested
 	
 	
 		um-hum
 	
 	
 		i think that's what the class that meets on Saturday mornings
 		so she could
 		find out if she wanted to go
 		it's kind of fun because with the first pregnancy all the other ladies except one were on their first pregnancy and they would talk about exercise and just general things related to the birthing process and
 		so for it's so it's educational as well as it exercise exercise beneficial so
 	
 	
 		yeah at least its something that you enjoy and i know a lot of people that talk about exercise and say well i don't want to exercise it's too much work but there a lot of different things you can do that that
 		are enjoyable that you don't have to you kn ow strain yourself or sweat
 	
 	
 		that's right
 	
 	
 		be real sore afterwards
 	
 	
 		yeah
 	
 	
 		
 
 	
 	
 		and sometimes that's if you get a little soreness you feel like well i've done a good job because i got worked myself to that point but i guess you don't want to overdue
 		but
 		well have we reached our limit i'm not sure how long we've been talking but
 	
 	
 		yeah i think i think we've
 		talked about six minutes or so so
 	
 	
 		okay well it's been good talking to you
 	
 	
 		it's been good talking to you as well
 	
 	
 		okay i hope your baby goes well comes out well  bye-bye
 	
 	
 		thanks yours yours too bye-bye
