Opening the Gyms

The governor announced that gyms Will open in a week So all the fitness freaks can start Improving their physique. At just one-third capacity, Facilities will let Much fewer members enter To absorb each other’s sweat. Despite the mandatory masks, (Assuming all comply) There will not be a surface That remains germ-free and dry. Yet hordes will flock to exercise And take it all in stride, While others, me among them, Will continue walks outside.

Walking is the ideal exercise, no reservations, fees, extravagant gear, or wiping equipment. Glad you're doing it regularly, you've inspired me to get back into it.

I love your irrepressible sense of humor, ilene! Your muse is an imp! I'm with you and your walk! Have been walking, with ankle or wrist weights, for more years than I am going to admit to! So glad you are fellow walker! Thanks for sharing your wisdom and the smile!

I am completely bamboozled by the logic of this. I hope all goes well, but Ilene I think you are wise to avoid these Petrie dishes.

Just the stench in Junior High School was enough to put me off gyms for a lifetime! A walk in the fresh air makes my day! Well said! Aloha! Rico
