My point in going to the Y for the last eleven years, since late DW and I moved to this little town in PA is to be able to do my Ju-Jutsu routine. There is no place within reasonable drive that has Judo or Ju-jutsu dojo. I have zero interest in the dozens of Karate dojos.
There is a large "activity room" with rubberized floor, and gymnastic mats available. Usually get there between 7 and 8.
The routine involves about 25 minutes of warmaups, all of which mimic defense or attack senarios. Then the standard defense move sets take up another 30 or 40 minutes depending on how many I wish to do. Then some more time to finish up with some T'ai Chi forms. Some of them I play slow, some as a real mock fight. For the non-initiate, T'ai Chi is fighting system, though most instructors of the art are totally clueless of how it works.
Then I mosey over to the "equipment" room as I call it. I only use the rowing machine, in winter when I can not go kayaking, and that only for seven minutes. With one minute each of a particular pull style, and finish up with a 20 second all out rowing effort. Then off to the sauna for a half hour snooze, followed by a shower.
Get dressed then walk a few blocks to a favorite bowling alley that serves breakfest, shoot the breeze with the regulars. Walk back to my car, get home around 11 or so. Do it twice a week. Other three days of the week I go figure skating. Of course I also go to dance classes for Argentine Tango. Evenings.
The result, I am in good shape, still pretty flexible and agile, and often amazed when I tell people that I am 70 and they disbelieve me. Most think I am 50, maybe 60.
$37.50 a month. Well worth the $. Used to pay 54 when DW was alive, for the two of us, she liked to swim.
The trick is that I get out of the house, go to a place where there is lots of room to do my kicks and jumps and rolls. For the most part I ignore the few who seem to go there to exercise their mouths.
