There was a brief period when the mrs thought a Y family membership was important. After a dip in the chlorine, we'd go upstairs to The Machines. Most had cable TV 🀣. I had an hour to kill.

I liked treadmills. I'd turn off the tv and set it to the very very SLOWEST speed: mechanically assisted #kinhin! It was wonderful exercise! And less conspicuous than walking same speed on the indoor track πŸ˜…

Curiously, after only a few weeks, they stopped asking me to go with them πŸ€”
