Time to Get Back in Shape

HThe holidays have played havoc with my physical condition. Too much to eat and drink and too little activity. The weather has been cold or rainy and I just don't care to be outside in those conditions.

At our age now, the old body just won't do what it used to do. We tend to sit around and watch TV or play on the computer or IPad. My muscles ache and my joints creek. I can't remember the last time I was able to touch my toes. 

I was talking to classmate, Herbert Miller, this week and he told me about a program he heard about called "Silver Sneakers". If you are on Medicare and have a supplement or PPO, you probably qualify. I checked with my insurance company and sure enough, I qualify.  

Basically, you can join a participating gym at no cost. (Leave it to Herbert to find a deal.)  You have access to everything at the gym and it costs nothing. I found a nice gym in Morehead City with all kinds of equipment, an indoor track, indoor pool, racket ball courts, etc. I join that one Thursday and plan to join O2 Fitness in Fuquay this week. 

Maybe being a senior citizen on Medicare does have some advantages. In any event, I hope to get back in shape and drop a few pounds.
