When I go to PT they givevme a red file to take with me into the gym orthooedic hospital I go and find a table in the red area and sit and wait for the PT. Then hand my file to the PT when I am bored I look through it. It just has all their notes and comparison stuff from previous tests to see if what I am doing is improving or not.<br />I wonder if your right and the blue thing is just a list on what to do and they figure you already know:) Next time you go ask them why you don't get to carry a blue chart around:)<br />Old people at The PT are funny at mine the same people go every morning. Its sad the PT say they come in do half the work or less and won't go home and do any thing so they will never heal. They just come to pretend they are trying so they can justify complaining that they will never heal:)<br />lol about the checkbook lady I mean if your PT appts are like mine thats $200 each visit so what a waste to spend the money and do nothing:)<br />At my parents gym (its not a PT office gym) but from 4am until 7am its all mostly 50-80 year olds and I know they all workout because they all try to outdo each other lol.. Guess PT places arejust different :)<br />Runaway Bridal Plannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436851320623647572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-86998301840693874222015-09-18T18:26:30.142-04:002015-09-18T18:26:30.142-04:00OMG!

They would show up in all sorts of attire and wander around aimlessly. They definitely used it for the social aspect.

They must not sweat (or put out enough effort to break a sweat) because why else would they workout in their regular clothes? I have a feeling that the "old folks" at the gym, 20 or 30 years from now, will be a different breed, who actually will exercise.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09268130692900152965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-40681732253085053712015-09-18T11:52:21.994-04:002015-09-18T11:52:21.994-04:00So funny that the gym is the 'hangout' for...So funny that the gym is the 'hangout' for the elderly.
