Oh my, how things have changed.
There was a day that if I wasn’t lying on the floor unable to catch my breath, it wasn’t a great workout; Of course, that was many decades ago.
These mornings, 40 minutes in the pool is just about right. But whatever works I guess. I have always been the sort who would rather be active than rest inside the central air conditioning watching TV. That led to me getting into working out plus I went all in with that situation. It was back in the 90’s when there was a lot less known about exercise science. So my buddy and I just got out of the air conditioning to push ourselves to exhaustion with stuff that would be considered sort of cross training now. Then, it was into some gym that had no commercial Heating plus A/C plus only fans. This was a muscle heads delight. And every giant bodybuilder was there day in plus day out. But that wasn’t my scene as my buddy and I were into more of a high rep routine. It was intense plus I was easily in good shape for a lot of years. But that stuff came with a price as it punished my joints. And now, I take my exercise with a dose of air conditioning. The health plus wellness center I got to these mornings has zone controlled Heating plus A/C. I cherish being upstairs with the resistance equipment. That’s more my speed these mornings. Still builds muscle strength but much easier on my joints. And getting out of the air conditioning comes with lap after attractive lap in the pool instead of all that punishment my buddy and I were into 30 years ago.
