We've returned from South Africa! Bruce took second in Freestyle and 1st In Greco-Roman. We worked out every day and discovered that breathing at 6k above sea level isn't entertaining at all. LOL
I could actually see my heart beat through my T-shirt at one point.
Bruce persevered even when wrestling, although breathing was a struggle.
We arrived several days in advance to try to cope, but let's just say there's something refreshing about the heavier, dusty air of the plains.

And yes, we are the crazy people who go on vacation and work out.

This man wasn't nearly respected enough. He lived in Arnold's shadow, but he was very smart.
He gets it.
2 different sports that many confuse as being one.
Define what you want to accomplish in the gym, then custom your workout to that goal. Drop the ego, and focus on the goal.

OK so the tech finally made it. (I had a nice chat with the regional repair manager regarding time frames after a less than productive conversation with a repair guy who didn't give a crap about his job.)

Both bikes have been fixed and the Precor treadmill will hopefully stop locking up on high incline.
Please still reduce speed and incline before stopping it to assist in keeping the machine in good shape for longer.)

As always, we value your membership and work hard to keep the gym and equipment in top shape, so you can stay in top shape.

Enjoy the rest of the summer and try to stay cool! Winter will have us wishing for warmer weather soon.

Allow me to speak from experience. I was body building in the 80s and 90s. Steroids were rampant and easy to obtain. NO, I did NOT use them but I know plenty who did. Some of those people are no longer with me, dying in their 30s and 40s from heart attacks and other issues. Many of those still with me, are suffering from other awful effects and filled with regret.

Especially for women symptoms like facial changes (overhanging brow, wider jaw), hair growth and loss (beard growth at the same time you are losing the hair on your head), lowering of the voice, and often reproductive challenges, do not diminish without surgery.

Steroids do not remove the need to train, but they do make it easier....at a huge COST.
There are no legitimate easy ways to do this. If it was easy, everyone would be in the Olympics or playing pro ball.
You cheat the system, you will lose.

Short-term gains for long-term losses are the gamblers lot in life.
Don't gamble with your health.

Be careful what supplements you take as well. Not everything is what the label says it is.

Bruce and I have been at this collectively for over 100 years. If there was an easy way, we'd have found it by now.

Remember! We have the BOSU ball so get started on repairing your balance. It starts earlier than you think and falls are on of the highest risks for elderly people.

Balance decline isn't just a normal part of aging – it's a complex process involving multiple body systems. Learn why balance changes happen and what you can do about it.

The TV's are BACK! We now have DirecTV and some new channels for you to explore.
We thank you for your patience.
Midco was going to add $50 to our already expensive bill!
That would have increased our TV bill to around $200 per month.
We would rather use that money for new equipment or other rising maintenance costs and believe we found a solution that will work for all.
