all right i guess this is a great time to talk about fitness with everybody and their New Year's resolutions and going out and getting their recor regular exercise program um do you recor exercise regularly
yeah
uh
uh yes i do uh
and tell me about that if you would
well unfortunately i have a cholesterol problem and uh i for a long time i did aerobics
uh-huh
yes
but a couple of years ago my uh doctor says no don't do aerobics any more ride the stationary bicycle so that that's what i do for thirty minutes a day i average six days a week
wow
well that's great that's fantastic do you have that set up where you can uh listen to some music or read a book or you just uh go
yeah
oh definitely oh definitely uh it's it's boring
well good so you're good you're using it
yes because you don't see a whole lot on a stationary bike
no no
uh and i i also belong to uh the Texas Club and uh so some days i uh i go over there and i work out with the the Nautilus weights
yeah
oh
okay
um-hum
well uh my goal is uh three days a week but usually it boils down to about one day a week
yes yes
uh do you have a regular regimen
well you've got me at a disadvantage i do not have a regular regiment i do exercise periodically but it's
whenever i have the time i uh i have a problem in that i don't make the time and i i understand the importance of it and in fact when i was in high school and college i was
um-hum
um-hum
on all sorts of athletic teams and and regular programs but since i've gotten into a new job and into my uh career
um-hum
and into a young family time seems to escape me right now but uh one thing that i really enjoy
um
yeah
is that uh i have bicycles and i have two older boys that they like to ride bicycles with me and we ride as a family
um-hum um-hum um-hum um-hum
yeah oh that's wonderful
and you know uh i actually live in Plano but i'm working here in Dallas and they have some excellent bike paths
um
where you can go and ride for miles and miles and days and days and not see the same scenery twice which is really fun
um
um-hum
oh yeah
and uh one thing that i've been doing also is that
mind you it's not regularly but uh i like to go out and go jogging and i do that and the boys get on their bikes and uh we we
um-hum
um-hum
they ride along and i jog along and it's a nice time to spend some some time with the boys too so i'm trying to coordinate
um-hum
you know my family time in conjunction with my exercise time exercise program and uh we really seem to enjoy that
oh yeah that's extremely important
and uh there there's a couple of reasons for that is my boys are very sports minded even at their young age and uh one of them 's in soccer and the other one just loves to do it
um-hum um-hum
um-hum
and so we get out and and do this and it i found out that it's very helpful to them also
in my oldest boy's soccer league that uh he doesn't seem to run out of breath as much as the other boys do and
um-hum
he can stay in longer
oh yeah
and uh
and uh so i i don't have a a regular one but i i really would
like to set my priorities straight i guess and and set aside time to do that
um-hum
i thought of different things i thought about going at the same time every day in the morning if i am generally uh getting up and heading off to work around six or six thirty
um-hum
which means i'd have to get up way early in the morning in the wee hours of the morning to do that and uh i've also tried to set aside time in the afternoon or evening
yeah
but uh things generally pop up that precru preclude me from from doing that so i just need to get into a habit
um-hum
yeah there's a a program on in the afternoons on channel two at four o'clock do you have a VCR
um-hum
uh yes i do
uh you might record it and play it later now it's just uh
oh stretch and tone it's not aerobics
um-hum
oh okay
uh but it's called body electric and it's a a lady broadcasting from Florida and uh it's for thirty minutes it comes on uh
um-hum
five days a week and uh it it it's a really good supplement to your bike riding
well great
um-hum
uh it helps with flexibility and uh
for uh for some of the exercises she uses three pound weights
oh okay
but uh she's not a a a great weight person but uh sometimes for the uh upper arms and deltoids and
well
uh back muscles she uses these three pound weights
um-hum
um-hum
so
well that's that's good that's one thing that i'd
and the weights i'd kind of like to get away from because in high school and college i lifted an awful lot of weights and that immediately
uh-huh
