The Mayor of Cesme has had a fitness park built below the new Jandarma buildings on the Dalyan road. It is equiped with a variety of machines designed for toning various parts of the body.
So come on and get fit.

..we are quite lucky at our appartment as we have gymnasium,sauna and solarium ,and we have only 22 families on the complex,half of them are not here most of the year ,and our swimming pool is open all year ,unusual for turkey.saying that we have to pay 150ytl a month ,but its worth it.

Hey that's nice Jonno, so I expect that you are super fit and tanned all year round. How many laps of the pool did you do this morning?

Oh, forgot to mention, there's another fitness park in Dalyan Koy, towards the Laddin Hotel.

i don,t think the word is super fit ,i have a gut and i just cant lose it ,so i would have to say super fat ,the pool we hav,nt actually used it yet .its the hassle of going down the stairs...lol

[sunny]

Mmmmm! I see, another, like me, who doesn't like too much excercise. You notice I talked about the fitness parks but no mention of me having tried them out.

..i do walk about a mile every morning ,before breakfast also i like to walk around town a lot ,the missus prefers the dolmus

[sunny]

Glad to hear that Jonno. We usually walk the dogs every day which involves climbing a hill - good for the old pulse rate.

..you know sunny i would love to have a dog, but at our villa it is on a co-oprative ,and this year the baskan says no cats or dogs ,also it would not be fair when we go back to the appartment in the winter months,when a dog wants to go a dog has to go .

Is there any kind of a plan I can join where somebody comes to my house and yells at me to go to the fitness park, and won't stop yelling at me until I've done my workout? How I miss the military sometimes... :commando[1]: But not very often.

[Steve]

I am lucky Ben the missus goes to a keep fat club, every tuesday in kus,then goes to her turkish lessons ,,so i have a day out and a cople of beers with freinds

[Ken]

How are you both doing with your programs?

[Steve]

mine is perfect ,a bit of a strain on my right hand,helen has loads of pains ,i think my programme is better

What is it with retirement? The same thing happens with retired military people. I had a good friend who retired years before me, as I was retiring. Hie said that he planned that when he retired, he would read books he had always wanted to read, do a regular exercise program, do things he never had time for. He ended up doing none of it, and sitting in bars telling "war stories" with other retirees. I swore this would never happen to me. Well, I don't have to tell you how that turned out...

[Steve]

..retirement ,does,nt,work that way ben ,if i go into kus ,a whole day is spent ,getting the dolmus there having lunch and a beer ,many of my english friends,say what do you do all day.i had less to do in the uk working a 12 hour shift ,but here more content ,,,jeez we have 3 birthday parties this week.1 tonight ,also we meet up once a week at the gian pansayon,loads of brits there ,not enough hours in the day.

I forgot to mention, there is also a new fitness park across from the Tansas. There is a street where you'll see tennis courts in the middle, and there is a small fitness park there, also.
