| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. Since I've been a teenager, I've been going to the gym quite consistently. It's a normal part of my life, |
| 0:17.0 | it's a normal part of my routine and I'm there quite often. |
| 0:20.0 | Well when you go to the gym like I do you run into people you meet people you see people |
| 0:25.3 | well there was one man that I used to see go in there and he was a retired doctor |
| 0:29.8 | and he worked out pretty often when I was there he was usually there and then about two years ago I stopped seeing him for about a month or two he just stopped coming in I didn't know what happened |
| 0:40.0 | and then he was back but now he was back with a walker. So clearly he probably had a stroke or heart attack. I didn't ask. I just see him. |
| 0:50.0 | And I didn't want to be intrusive. But over the past two years he's been coming in with that |
| 0:55.3 | walker regularly. He still uses the walker, he needs it, but he still comes to the gym. |
| 1:01.2 | So even though he has fairly major health problems that he needs a walker to get around, |
| 1:07.1 | he still comes to the gym regularly to take care of himself and work out. |
| 1:12.7 | Well, because I get up early to go to the gym, |
| 1:15.2 | you see the people that are out and about in the morning |
| 1:17.5 | doing their exercise. |
| 1:19.1 | Well, there's one man that lives in my neighborhood. |
| 1:20.9 | I don't know him, but I see him often, usually at least once a week, and he, over the years, every day that I see him is out walking, and clearly walking quite a distance. |
| 1:31.0 | But when I first began to see him, he was clearly an older man and |
| 1:35.4 | walk slowly and he was heavy and yet he walked. He walked regularly, clearly. I'm pretty sure |
| 1:41.0 | every day because some days I'll see him like two or three days in a row. |
| 1:44.0 | Well again he too something happened and now he first started using a cane and now when I see him he uses uses a walker, and he walks incredibly slowly, but he still gets |
| 1:56.8 | out and walks every day. |
| 2:00.6 | And I'm sharing these two stories not to encourage everyone to get out and go to the gym or work out. |
| 2:05.0 | I mean that is good for us, but I'm looking at the bigger picture. |
