I went to the gym today and I'm doing my usual workout and this young woman comes in the room. She's at least 30 years my junior and very fit. So she goes on the horizontal leg press machine which she saw I just finished (70 lbs. for me) and I go on the hip adductor. I'm on my 2nd set and she sits in the machine right next to me. She glances at my weight stack (80 lbs. for this one) and then stares at me.....it was awkward so I smiled but I'm thinking....what?

And then she spoke. She told me I'm very strong......you know.....for my age....although she didn't say the age part. She didn't increase the weight stack and in fact, had to lower it on one of the machines compared to where I had it.

Even though there are times I feel it in my bad left hip........she had no idea I have an ICD or a new right hip.

Did I mention she was AT LEAST 30 years my junior!!

Good medicine indeed......that did my heart good. :o)
