Walking workout in Jimnyeong

Added by soungukim

Mrs Han and her cousin regularly go to do walking workouts, and that warm November day I accompanied them to do their rounds in the nearby sports stadium. While I was sweating and gasping, the old ladies were steadily going round and round. Afterwards, we stopped on the grass, and I filmed them talk about their daily Yoga practice.

- It's quite exhausting.
- Because we've just eaten?
- Yeah we just got here right after!
- Well I told you to do it a bit later!
- Right you are! My son tells me to take it easy, too...
- Ooh, my hip, my hip...
- This morning I really got into my Yoga practice. After I got up, really hard, as you had told me to. You know for example the thing with getting up with your legs, about 50 times...
- ...what do you mean 'getting with up with your legs'?
- Like this!
- Pah, that little...Well, one can only do easier stuff.
- Well yeah, like this, spreading your legs, bending down like this...
- Rather than lifting your body like that, you know training your legs...
- Yeah right! I really did everything I knew of...Hey, do you think it would look fine if you film me with my legs spread like this???
- We're exercising, what's the fuss? Well, if you care that much about looks, than go care after your haircut, get a perm!!...[laughs]...If you're really up to tarting yourself up...Well, we'll just rest here a bit and then leave after a chat...
- Of course, yeah...
