Then, this afternoon, we took Michael bowling. It was a lot of fun to just hang out and bowl
as a family. It’s not something that we
get a chance to do very often. And, I even
got a couple strikes. We only played one
game because Michael got tired, but it was still nice.
But, the very best part came this evening when I visited a
local gym. Every time we come to visit,
we pass a place called Hazleton Health and Wellness Center. The building looked a lot like the gym I go to
at home, so I was thinking it would be a good place to visit. I looked them up online and then called to
ask about guest passes. They said the
first visit was free, and after that, it was ten dollars a day, or six dollars
to take a class. Very reasonable!
But, what I was so excited about is that they had a recumbent
stepper, like I see all the time on the Extreme
Makeover: Weight Loss Edition show. I’ve always been curious about the machine,
but didn’t think I’d ever get a chance to try one out. The lady who checked me in to the center
helped me set the machine up and made sure I was doing everything right. So, for thirty minutes, I got to pretend I
was actually on the show and doing the workout in my living room. Yes, I have a vivid imagination! But, it really was fun to try it out!
Then, I used their recumbent bike for another half
hour. It was really comfortable, and
even had arm rests with heart rate monitors built in. I don’t think I’ve had so
much fun working out on cardio equipment.
Plus, everyone was really nice.
When I had questions about coming back, or the class schedule, they took
their time and answered all my questions.
Even though I was just visiting, they made me feel welcome, and I
appreciate that!
This was definitely another great day. Tomorrow will be a rest day, but not
really. We are taking Michael to an
amusement park, so I am sure that I’ll be getting in a ton of walking. It should be fun. I just hope that all this exercise will pay
off and I’ll be able to keep up tomorrow!
