As I have mentioned, I have been working out this winter during the week in the small gym in the ground floor of the building where I work. I suppose I tend to workout at a regular time each day, because I see mostly the same people there each time. These are not people I work with or know otherwise, so I know them primarily from observation. Because this is the "regular" crowd as in they exercise regularly, they are mostly in pretty good shape to begin with. My observation is that these people are working out regularly and with a good amount of effort to maintain their fitness. This is something of a revelation to me, because I think my assumption had been that certain people were just lucky to have high metabolism. While I am sure that is still true of a few, as we get older, it is true for less and less of us. The good news for me is that when I see them working hard and often to stay in shape, then it all seems more regular to me, and I can see the work that I am doing in that context, as in this is just what you have to do to be healthy.
