fitness equipmentI'm going to visit my sister next month who is an execise fanatic, so I am going to have to start working out on fitness equipment at my community's clubhouse to even be able to hold a candle next to her. She lives in a gorgeous area and I know we will be hiking a lot, so I am going to have to use that fitness equipment like an addict to get into decent shape. She goes to the gym every other day. She loves to workout and I look at it as a necessity that I mostly try to avoid. However, I will get into shape just for my trip, and use that free fitness equipment. At least the TVs get satellite, or I could bring a book along while I peddle the bikes or walk on the treadmill.  I really enjoy hiking when the weather is nice, but in Phoenix, only the very stout even think about hiking in the mountains that ring the city. Some people get up before sunrise to do it, and that's admirable, but I'm not an early bird, so it's the treadmill for me until the temperatures drop below 90.
