Made the acquaintance of a young senior, a 65-year-old woman. I mentioned this morning that I was on my way to an exercise class. She said that her husband stopped exercising completely when he left the military – and a few years back, died in his early sixties of a heart attack.
“So many of his family members died around that age, late fifties, early sixties … we just never thought about it.”

The time spent playing air guitar and doing karaoke might have been better spent:
- checking in with people in the class about their health issues
- telling people how to set up the bike
- educating the class about the hand positions
- leading guided breathing exercises
- supplying enough information about heart rate zones and how to measure them that people would have a clue what you meant when you screamed, “Keep it at 80%!”
Just sayin’.
