Day 3...it was a BIG day

This might have been the guy...
So things are going well with the work out. Everyone at AFF is great, and very inspiring. My wife and kids have great motivation because of this and my wife might get into the "Hot Momma" Program - Very cool.
It was American Idol night and we didn't want to miss it so instead of DVR'ing it, we did cardio for the whole hour it was on. A great way to "boob tube" while getting your exercise.
Afterward we hit the machines and then my Son and I went into the steam room. WOW, that was different. I've seen people going in there before...some with shorts and shirts - some without shirts, but it figures the day we go in there it's some old guy that does it the old fashioned way - in the buff. I didn't realize that old people have so much hair on their bodies. He looked like a Wookie. Yes it was a bit weird for my Son because he's not used to being in a men's locker room. But this old guy was very nice and chatty. I was having a conversation explaining that our family has a goal to become healthier, yata, yata, and my Son is looking at me with that "Dad ARE YOU NUTS" look on his face. My Son kept looking at the floor giving me the elbow to get out. Finally when we left my Son says "Dad, please don't tell me that guy will be in there every time we go in there...that's just too weird". I explained that most people wear a towel, but he was old and maybe that's just the way he does it.
I have to say one thing - after looking at that old guy - that's even more incentive to get in shape. I'd rather look like Robert Redford instead of a flabby wookie - no offence.

Tip: Air flexing...
In between breaks at work, during TV commercials, or radio commercials - use your arms and pretend to curl, push, and squeeze those muscles for 2 sets of 10 reps. This is a nice way to tone and relieve some stress or cramped up muscles.
