There are more group physical training classes as the pandemic incrementally improves

It’s hard staying healthy when you live a sedentary lifestyle.

  • I wake up in the morning and I start working at my desk which is 10 feet away from my bed.

The only times I get up during my shift are coffee and food breaks. My parents talk to me on Zoom calls at least twice a week and they say that they’re worried about my health. They told me to schedule a checkup appointment with my general physician as soon as the doctor could see me. My doctor ordered lab tests to make sure my sugar and cholesterol levels weren’t too high. Like he feared, my sugar levels needed to be brought down lower to avoid developing type 2 diabetes. My cholesterol levels were too high as well. Aside from an improved diet, my doctor encouraged me to join a gym to start exercising every week. I was stressed out because I had never been in a gym or fitness center before and didn’t have the slightest clue of what I was supposed to do once I went inside. I asked the person behind the desk and they encouraged me to join a group physical training class. She explained that they were offering more group physical training classes now that the pandemic is slowly improving. There were cross fit classes, yoga classes, pilates, and group weight training. I decided to go with the group weight training because that’s what I had the most interest in among the many choices. Hopefully I can finally get healthy again with my new gym membership.

The locker room at my local gym is much cleaner than others

I pride myself on my clean house and my clean hygiene.

If you can’t take care of the essentials, how are you supposed to take care of a partner and children? I want my guests to feel safe and welcome when they stay in my home.

I couldn’t live with myself if one of them was grossed out by something I failed to clean. My old college roommate crashed at my house for a few days while he was passing through the area with his RV. He offered to simply stay in his RV with it parked in the car, but I encouraged him to stay in the house. I even cooked all of his meals for him, just because I enjoy doing that. It was nice hearing him compliment me on my clean house. Perhaps I’m a little neurotic, but I’d rather be clean than dirty. I had to find a new gym and fitness center because the locker room in my old one was always dirty. My new gym has a locker room that is constantly kept clean from one day to the next. It also doesn’t smell like mold in the locker room like it did at my old gym. I am happier working out in a gym that is owned by someone that prides themselves on cleanliness like I do. The steam rooms are clean as well, along with the weight room and the cardio stations. I’m happy to pay a little bit more every month on my membership fee if it means a cleaner fitness center to attend. With so many options for local gyms, there’s no sense in lowering one’s standards.

My health and fitness center offers membership discounts for senior citizens

I live in a state that is already known as a retirement destination for senior citizens, but my city is worse than most.

There is a huge lean towards people over 65 when you analyze local age demographics. I don’t mind it now that I’m older, but it was frustrating when I was young and wanted to meet other people my age. The few friends I had in high school would all pile into a car and we’d drive 45 minutes to the nearest city to have fun on Friday and Saturday nights. Even though gasoline was close to $4 a gallon in those days, we’d split the expenses for the gas put in my friend’s van. I had committed myself to leaving this place when it came time to apply to college, but I surprised everyone when I decided to stay. I attended the local community college instead of leaving the state for one of the large universities that had caught my eye out east. I don’t mind the age demographic here now that I’m much older. Not to mention my parents have reached the “senior” age and are likely to benefit from the many sales and promotions at local businesses that target people their age. For instance, my health and fitness center offers membership discounts for senior citizens over the age of 65. This was a huge incentive for my parents when I pushed them to start going to the gym with me. I told them about the senior discount and it really piqued their interest. My parents need to consider their health and wellness at their age and attending a local gym could do a lot of good in that regard.

Tonight The Fireworks Start in My Small Town

Today is the first day of the Carnaval celebration and this will be my first year experiencing it firsthand without any covid restrictions.

  • I think there will be an extra 10,000 people in my town later today so I better enjoy the peace while it lasts.

It is eerily quiet here right now, I feel like we are going to get hit by a tidal wave of people soon. I like the influx of energy and the craziness for a little while. It will all be over on Tuesday so it’s only for a few days. I can finally turn off my central heat in the day now that we have turned the corner with the weather. It looks like we have about 60 F each day for the next two weeks with lows around 48 F. I may actually need to run my air conditioner because my little bedroom gets quite hot at night. I could always open the window in my bedroom but with Carnaval going on now there will be a lot of noise until the wee hours of the morning. I like to run my fan on my central air conditioner to help keep the air clean in my flat as I installed a HEPA filter in it a few months ago and it works so well. I have a ppm meter to measure the air quality and it is showing me that my air is in the ideal range now. I’m happy that I don’t need to buy a whole home air purifier since all of my money is in cryptos.
