Knowing that I would have absolutely no will power for this kind of thing, I went to a health club and asked for help. They've seen my kind before, and they understood. They also were smart enough to tell me I'd have to find some aspect of exercise that I'd look forward to, or else I wouldn't last long. That the vast majority of those who start exercise plans with nothing but good intentions end up with nothing but good intentions. The first day, I started off pumping air. I know that sounds pretty wimpy, but this club has pneumatic-powere- d machines. You dial in an air resistance and work against it. The inpressure structor said that the best part is that no one can see the dial but you,, so you don't have to feel embarrassed when the slip of a girl on the next machine is outdoing, you.

And it's still fun.il look forward to my three nights a week. And I've started using hotel exercise rooms when I travel. Sorry, Neil, Too bad, Red. I think this healthy body stuff just might work.
