Bill I have it made here in my Town there is an Old Persons Club they have an

huge building with a bigger then full size swimming pool and one the size of a

swimming pool that is a hot Spa. Then have a WEIGHT ROOM & CARDIO ROOM:

The OPC weight room is equipped with the latest technology, including the HUR

strength training machines, which operate on hydraulics not plate load. The HUR

machines have been designed to create less stress on joints while providing

optimal strength gains. HUR machines have the Smart Card system to help make

your work-out stress free. The OPC cardio room houses several cardiovascular

machines including the NuStep, treadmills, recumbent bikes and elliptical

trainers.

If you live in my county and your 50 or older you can use the WEIGHT ROOM &

CARDIO ROOM: for $2.00 per day they are open 6 days a week.

Now they are letting people 50 and older from the try county area join for $175

/ yr.

I started out lifting this way Olympic weight lifting at age 12 at the YMCA I

came in 3rd. place for Junior Olympic weight lifting when I was 16 I then went

into bodybuilding and dropped about 50 lbs.

Today I can't do free weights after my Heart Bypass sugary when all was over

they have to pull my chest muscles over my sternum to hold it together. Even on

the machines I can feel my chest shift or move around with working out I am told

to have the Air Bags off in the car and not to play base ball or be in a spot

where I could be hit in the chest.
