The simplicity of my day to day. |
Prompt: Have you ever thought about climbing Mt. Everest or one of the other notable 7 summits? If not, what other physical goal have you dreamed about trying? Did you go for it? On a less strenuous level, what physical activities do you regularly do? Climbing Mount Everest has always been WAY out of my fitness level even on my best days. I’ve always tried to keep my fitness level to a little more than most people and I was a Gym Junkie before the term was invented, As soon as my three kids were at school full time I joined a gym. This was in the late seventies. It was an all women’s gym and we swam in the nude and no one cared about nudity. Then came the unisex gyms, it was never quite the same. I liked the group classes, the Jane Fonda, leg warmer era, we all thought we were the best in our leotards and head bands. Then came the powerful women era when we all lifted weights above our heads, dead lifts etc. This still continues but at eighty-one my body is showing the results of all the wear and tear I put it through over those years. It’s also encouraging me not to do anything anymore except for Aqua therapy classes which I’m still attending. |
