I would like to lose a couple of kilos and be a bit fitter.

What is the potential this is the right gym for me to join

47.4.5>7

Not sure what this means to be honest.

I will be confining myself I guess because its a specialised gym as physically I'm limited in terms of being unsble to do high impact exercise.

Okay Liss I got 47.5 years ago when I began running each day. Yi is being a bit cheeky and rude. It's like old birds won't turn into spring chickens, exercise won't do that. What it will do is bring flowers for the time being.

When we are young progressively more exercise can make one stronger and stronger but when one is older it doesn't quite work that way. Yes I went running and er this also necessitated an osteopath. I think 47.5 is saying this won't work the way it might have done when you were 25, but it can bring short term gain.

So overall this is Yi in a bit of tease mode I think. 47.4 is generally making quite an elaborate to do about something and I think Yi is really teasing here. It's like yes gradually Liss will get herself to the gym and so on but it needn't be so complex...she could have a fast walk each day for example....or she could just get going. I agree the 7 is your objective in getting fitter.

I feel Yi is saying joining this gym is okay but it may be a bit of an over elaborate move given your actual needs. I know exactly how it might be. You will get a personal trainer to show you how best to work out for your objectives. This person will probably be about 30 years old, well intentioned but completely clueless about your overall condition and needs. They will set you things to do that may well cause more harm than good like lifting weights above your head triggering frozen shoulder and god knows what. Gyms can be fun but they are also sometimes not really well geared to older people's needs. I know you aren't that old but still..

I think 47.5 is quite literal here. You can't regenerate your whole body through this but you can enjoy the exercise but make flowers, enjoy, don't push too hard.

If you use this gym it can bring some benefits but I feel you might benefit more from something more simple that doesn't cost money. Like a a brisk walk each and every day for example ?

Thank you Trojina how right you are about gyms in general and their personal trainers and our more 'mature' bodies!!! I was a member of a gym last year that was exactly like this :deadhorse:

This new gym is catered more to us more mature women and I like the idea of making flowers and removing some of my shall we say the weeds surrounding my muscles.
I do the walking thing not enough of course and it's twofold as I'm hoping to make some new friends as well.
I will bear in mind that I'm limited to creating beautiful flowers as opposed to a stunning rose bush..

Couldn't finish my post, I also said

Overall I think you are being told to lighten all this up. As long as you get going it needn't be done a certain way that involves certain procedures and so on (47.4). The main thing here is enjoyment of exercise for it's own sake, exercise that is enjoyable that will sustainable
.

but yes if this gym caters to the more mature person it sounds good and gyms are great places to make friends.

Actually around our age we can get very susceptible to tendonitis, frozen shoulders, that kind of thing, so that's why I think exercise shouldn't over stress the body now. If you think about our grandmother's time they didn't spend hours on treadmills, they may have cultivated their gardens, staying fit while getting slightly more voluptuous curves, like flowers

I don't think nature designed older women to look like racehorses, just gently blossom like the tree in 47.5

Hang on a minute...
Who said anything about old?
I personally dislike gyms - it has an underlying feeling of torture - and I don't like some sweaty hairy person strutting their muscles (or lack of) in close proximity. I agree that gyms can cause health issues - but that can be at any age.

I do yoga - walk past the gym door - to spend at least an hour and a half most days. I go to the sauna or swim after. I find that the pounding of the gym hurts my joints. I also do some body conditioning classes - all ages - which is good cardio vascular stuff. This is far more fun than the gym

I actually don't think age has anything to do with gym membership (Although Intake on board what Trojina is getting at). It has more to do with what your body wants right now. I think there is a gentle feel to 47.5 don't you? yoga is gentle but very effective. Pilates is an option too.

I got this reading once when I was due to go on a long expedition across Europe with my friend. I remember thinking that the flowering trees might show the area I was going to - which was a bit daft but then I was only 23. My friend became ill (she tried so hard bless her - I am a bit of an idiot when it comes to overdoing things. We ended up in eastern turkey - she was getting even more ill. There were certainly no trees around. In the end I put her in a bus to the airport. I regret always not going with her poor thing. She was the one flowering as she was pregnant.

Don't know if this helps BUT none of this old lady nonsense please. :mischief:There is a lady at yoga who is well into her 90s. She knocks the socks off some of the younger class. OK she might be completely deaf and still be in her tree when we are all dancers but there is something elegant about her.

Perhaps the reading is telling you to do yoga and be a tree??

Another thing. In a survey in A free paper given to commuters they did a study about gym membership by monitoring some women and their habits for a month. All the women had lost some weight but those who walked to the gym rather than take the car lost
The most. When gym membership ended the non car group continued to lose weight whilst the car group regained their weight. Weight loss had nothing to do with the gym at all. They also found that those who got in their cars after going to the gym eat afterwards or had a snack Those who walked waited longer to eat too.

Perhaps you could walk to some flower arranging classes and meet lots of other people

Oh dammit Liss I read 47.4 then for some reason was reading 28.5 not 47.5, that was why I was going on about flowers....28.5

'Withered willow sprouts flowers,
Venerable wife gets upright husband.
No blame, no praise'

from Hilary in wiki....no idea how I made that error, so it's 47.5. Still I wouldn't change what I said that much other than to say it need not feel so heavy as it does but if you are going for enjoyment that's a good sign.

Don't know if this helps BUT none of this old lady nonsense please. There is a lady at yoga who is well into her 90s. She knocks the socks off some of the younger class. OK she might be completely deaf and still be in her tree when we are all dancers but there is something elegant about her

Neither of us said anything about old ladies but older ladies at gyms being coached by 30 year olds who know sod all about getting older. I don't think any of it was nonsense. So a 90 year old does yoga, good for her, doesn't mean we all have to or can aspire to that. There's nothing wrong with getting old anyway. I don't share your POV but everyone feels differently according to their experience I guess.

Whatever you read or interpreted Trojina it resonated with me and it's a good analogy for how I feel. I'm feeling a bit 'withered' at the moment and I feel a bit of structure in my life re exercise will help my shining flower of self come through. No it's not a serious body building thing for me it's more just getting a bit more toning to my skin and muscles health wise.

I think butterfly spider everyone knows their body and what it can or can't do physically. Yes some people can smoke all their lives and live to be 100 while others who lead a healthy life end up with cancer. Go figure! I don't think I'm old and it wasn't suggested that I am just more as our body ages some of us just can't do the things that used to come easy and some of our body parts start to give way. I'm all for gently does it in anyway that suits.

Tongue in cheek - older then not old it is all relative ...
Hex 47 feels a bit hot and stuffy to me - like gyms

I agree with Trojina - not sure if this is saying its a good idea joining this gym.
Seriously though I think there are many ways of getting fit and toned without going to the gym - at any age.

Dreamt of racehorses last night
The picture on my wall is of 47 - a tree in a cave
Have you thought about a personal trainer? They are expensive but 2 sessions with a follow up is possibly the same as the gym. They might know good classes that you don't -
It really works - less confined..

Went into a bookshop just now
A new book was advertised in the window
About ways of growing old gracefully.......
It made me think of my friend at yoga!!

Btw - hex 7. I always feel this is the gentle toiling of
The soil - waiting for possible battles later on. Don't expend too much energy yet...

Both lines draw a picture of a soft torture by the trainers.
Slowly you will get your wish, but the experience will be 'so-so'.

They won't make you lose the weight, the desire and motivation must come from within.
And I think Yi is pointing to the lack of it.

I'm onboard with butterfly spider here, I think there are more enjoyable methods for achieving your goal.
Walking is great, water-fasting is excellent (skip a meal, or try alternating days, 1 with normal diet, 1 only water).

Thanks ashteroid. I'm not really overweight and have quite a strict low fat diet and am mainly gluten free vegetarian although over Christmas New Year I indulged hence the extra couple I'd like to get rid of and just tone up a little. As it's already been said on this thread as your body gets older.. the gym is more confined to resistance machines as the resource for your work out and there's noone monitoring how hard (or not) you work.
I'm still considering the responses of this reading before I make the decision to join.

Based on this reading and some other 'signs' I will be avoiding the gym and doing both gentle and restorive yoga twice a week and my own walks.
