Exercise!

 So we had some friends over for New Year’s.  And the subject of weight loss came up.  One of my friends has started using Zepbound, but she’s not happy with her results.  She’s not exercising and she knows she should,  so I showed her my treadmill — lightweight, easy to move, easy to store.  I have it set up in j6 office, in front of the TV.   It’s too cold to walk outside right now, and the treadmill keeps me active.

Though I think I’m going to give this a try.   Chair yoga challenge

I used to like yoga, until my knees went bad.  This looks like it’s going to be gentle on my knees. Might even be fun! 

My sister wants me to go back to the gym.  She thinks I need to do some work with weights, build some muscle.  She’s probably right, but I think I’ll wait a few weeks, avoid the mad rush at the gym when everyone tries to fulfill their New Year’s resolutions.

Though I did enjoy going to Planet Fitness, before Covid. Goodness knows I was a bit obsessed with the place back in 2016, wrote quite a few blog posts about it.  But yeah, I should go back. The Levittown location is about a mile from my house, the Hicksville location is about a mile and a half away, and the new location in East Meadow will be about two miles away.  Not to mention there’s a location just down the road from my new office …

Did you happen to notice that Planet Fitness sponsored CNN’s coverage of New Year’s Eve in Times Square!  Anderson Cooper, Andy Cohen and a bunch of crazies standing in the cold for hours, each wearing a huge purple hat bearing the name of my favorite gym …
