I have one friend who runs and goes to the gym regularly. She's also likes and has done Insanity.
Some of my relatives walk, run, or go to the gym. But most people close to me do not work out regularly. I've tried to get my family interested in workouts before to no avail. I have even gifted some of them DVDs. I did a Jillian Michaels rotation with my SIL and had my dad try an Essentrics workout. Sometimes, my nieces and nephew will come over while I'm working out and they'll try to join me. My family are pretty used to my fitness stuff by now, though they think I have more than enough DVDs. They mostly seem to indulge my peculiar habit. |

Wow, Nice read.
for those that have family members appreciate the work they also put in. Encourage them to keep going, it is doing its work. I feel like I'm from another planet because, I do not have 1 person to exercise with. No one to encourage me. No one to ask me what I''m doing today. i feel like an island with nothing but bananas to eat. When I think about my situation, it makes me sad. I feel sad for the people that don't and sad because I'm a loner. Don't plan on going to a gym because I don't like it there. That comes from young adult hood when men just stand at the machines and gawking at the women on the leg machines.. so, no I don't want to join any fitness center. I just wish someone were into videos, or health along with me. or I could at least ask how their day went. It's hard enough too exercise and keep myself motivated to do it. be proud of your family and keep encouraging them. Fitness does come in handy when you're I'll which is not to often because you are healthy.)

My mid 70's parents belong to ATC and go several times a week but only use the cardio machines.
My Hubby has a very physical job and so gets his exercise at work, but he's done or watched me workout at times in the past and has an appreciation for how hard I work. Most of my friends are 10-30 years older than me and take walks or go to a gym/have a trainer. I think I'm the only one who uses DVDs.
