um well um guess it's logical to ask do you exercise any
well unfortunately very little uh much less than what i need to
i'm about the same way i i do a little bit my my job kind of hinders me from
exercising i'm a night operator here at a
industry down here and i don't really get out a lot during
because of my job to to exercise
well i uh am an assistant teacher and uh in business technology and i've
i think the most exercise i've gotten in the last three or four month is just jumping up and down to go answer the kids' questions it keeps me pretty busy but
it's not really the kind of exercise that gets your heart rate going and and uh
right
you know really exercise is so important and i realize that
it is
um-hum that's that's the way i feel i'm used to being in pretty good shape because when i was in high school i stayed in pretty good shape playing a little basketball and stuff like that but i've gotten now i'm in college and i go to school during the day and work at night
i can tell that i've not really done a whole lot
when you uh exercise what do you do do you do it at home or a club or
well uh i usually i'm i usually play at home we live out in the country so me and my brother'll play basketball and have a bunch of guys come over and play or a lot of times we're we're up at the church we'll play volleyball
stuff like that
i got a hold of uh Richard Simmons's tape uh
oh really
what is it uh i can't even think of the name of it right offhand uh
with the oldies
oh the Sweating to the Oldies
Sweating with the to the Oldies yeah and that's not bad
oh really
that's pretty upbeat so you know i every once in a while i'll put the cassette in and go with it but
right
not often enough to have a routine
right i'll
my little Schnauzer wishes i would get out and walk with her
oh really
but uh
i don't know by the time i get home all i wanna do is just collapse or sit down at my computer and my fingers exercise more than anything now
right that's the way i am i just want to sit down and relax too tired to exercise
yes uh
do you ever ride a bike or anything like that
i did i started riding my bike about a couple of months ago and i'd ride about two or three miles a day but but it'd last about a couple of weeks and it got real cold for a little while so i gave it up
here about the
the most common exercise for people is to go to the malls and walk them
walk around
because they're enclosed and no matter what the weather is they can walk at a pretty good clip and and not have to worry about the weather summer or winter
right
right i've noticed people doing that down here too i'll be in town or something and people will walk around the mall
and it's safe
it it is it's fairly safe
that's uh you know inside the mall may be not safe going to the parking garage lot
uh-huh
yeah certain parts of it
i know a doctor once told me it it a friend of mine uh suggested swimming as being the best exercise there is
right
right i used to do a lot of swimming we have we have a swimming pool and but it's an old concrete pool we've been having trouble with it the past few years
so we haven't got to use it much but i love to swim and water ski and stuff like that
the uh swimming they say uses more muscles than any other exercise with
and the water takes the resistance
right
right and you don't get the soreness
i've i've done some water exercises
but our pool is not is not heated so it's
right you can't do it year round
summertime only
right that's the way ours is
just in the summertime
you don't go out when it's
twenty some odd degrees and and go out to the swimming pool
no
no no it's too cold
hot tubs are not not uh not too bad but
i could deal with a hot tub those are nice
so what part of Mississippi are you from
i'm from Laurel
whereabouts is that
that's way down towards the south not quite on the coast but we're about two hours from the coast
oh and you do have cold weather down there
yes yes ma'am it well it started about yesterday i believe it started raining and got real cold
ours started Thanksgiving
oh
and uh from there just well today was pretty
but uh
oh Sunday the snow and ice came in
right
