How many people does it take to figure out the complicated setup of television and DVD player and three/four remotes. (Why are there two identical ones, one which is sitting on top of the DVD player, when it doesn't have anything to do with the DVD player?)
Three. Two from the manager's office, and me. Written directions are right there on the wall, we're all literate, so why is it harder to follow than the Technical Challenge on The Great British Baking Show?
Anyway, we eventually got it figured out. I set the timer on the cycle machine for an extra five minutes to get more from my workout, and plugged away to the classical movie A Hard Day's Night. The movie plot line consists of the Fab Four and Paul's grandfather having their adventures while preparing for a televised performance. My workout ends about the same time as the post-casino scene. (Movie Geek Info: It's the same casino in the first James Bond movie.)
The exercise room eventually got crowded with three others coming in to use the equipment, including one who came in when I was ten minutes into the program (and probably heard me singing as beautifully as Florence Foster Jenkins) and decided to wait out the twenty-five minutes. The other two, a father and his kid son, came in just before the machine started cool-down mode, and they went directly to other machines.
I made five miles in half an hour, ended up with 6.78 at the end, heart rate average 94, highest 149, or so I recall on the summary. I broke a sweat about halfway through (TMI, I know, I know.)

| Good movie. Now I can check off that one from the various "have you seen these movies?" lists on Facebook. |
