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
