Week in is now really begun, although in running about a bit yesterday morning I noticed that very few commercial organizations were observing the holy day. Greed rather than racism, apathy rather than tradition, I suspect.
This morning the educationalists were back at gym, at least the few who come on tuesday. In the main, people, including educationalists, seem to be MWF in behavior. I should elaborate that when questioned the majority of those who frequent the gym have been told they need to exercise three times a week. I am unsure of whether this is some presumed middle ground that those who tell such have gone through or that there is actually some propaganda stream that pronounces such. I know I have not seen the propaganda stream, if it exists. The one I have seen is total time per week – five hours up from 2.5 a year or so ago, for moderate exercise. For heavy, strenuous exercise divide in half. Or so the Yankee government sez.
I have found out that no one, except possibly the ORFs, do moderate exercise at gym. Everyone does heavy, strenuous exercise. But when I compare what they do, it is not statistically significant from what I do and what I do is moderate. I sense some sort of denial and delusion in action here. (The next great role playing game?!) In fact, almost no one, saving only a few dedicated folks who like me come more than thrice per seven day, monitors their heart beat rate.
At any rate, having been told in some fashion that I have not been able to identify that they need to go to gym thrice per sevenday, they do – some of the time – and occasionally get more than thirty minutes of actual exercise (rather than the fifty minutes per session suggested (?) by the Yankee government.) But what I find intriguing is that almost all do the MWF schedule.
Intrigued by this, I have asked those who do TTS. (The gym, in a fit of religionist discrimination, is unopen on sundae. Litigation awaits.) In about half the instances, there is some conflict of scheduling that prevents MWF. For the others, two characteristics appear: the individuals involved are rather intelligent or they have employment that requires them to work on saturdae. The latter individuals often cite reduced crowding on TTS. The former individuals universally admit that they should come more often, aware of the Yankee government guidelines, but also admit to human frailty and then mention either crowding or density of people-one-would-like-to-avoid.
The results are not conclusive; the sample population is too small, but it is illuminating and entertaining, and I have need of such these days.
