SPORT

Exercise I must,
for health and good looks.
Fitness centres closed,
my flabby muscles
tone in homemade gym.
Zoom session bustles:
instructor teaches,
everyone hustles.

Tabata online.
Sound not always there,
screen pic issues posed.
I wish to decline
if doctor agreed.
I’d opt to recline,
soak in bath bubbles.
Rid pain and troubles.

Forget healthy and good looking, Krystyna. I'd rather soak in a bubble bath, surrounded by scented tea lights, glass of vino in hand, than feel the pain to feel the gain. Tara Tabata.

Love your idea, Sue. If only my doctor would go along! Possible, after my workout, I say. (Need to do the exercise routine to keep BP down. My dad died from a stroke.)

Wish I could forget, Sue. Unfortunately I am high risk for a stroke. (What got my dad at the end.) Vino and bubble bath follow my exercise routine. Not too bad a deal.

Well done Krystyna. As long as you do get to recline in those bubbles, a little exercise can't hurt.

Thank you, Sue. I try to do my best in that regard.
Thank you, Mary. You have got it right with a “little exercise”.
