いつもの｜Usual

家の近所にあるジムが潰れてしまい、歩いて10分くらいのジムに入会した。プールありヨガありと本格的なジムだったものの半年で３回しか行かなかった。身体の肥大をくいとめるべく、ムスメの保育園の近くにあるジムに替えた。ムスメの送りのあとに寄れるので、週に５回という生活がなんと１０ヶ月も続いている。（１回につき10分くらいだけど）しかも都内や全国いろいろな場所にあるので、朝忙しくていつものジムに行けなくても、外出先のジムを探してちょい利用ができる。また同じカギで入り口が開き、機器もレイアウトもどこでもほぼ一緒というのがいい。いちいち使い方の説明を受ける必要もなく、どこでもいつものを使うことができる。天気が悪い、忙しいなどちょっとしたことですぐに今日はジムはお休みと思ってしまうボクにとって、「いつもの」が継続できるポイントの一つかもしれない。（絵と文：サカキテツ朗）

The gym near my house went out of business, so I joined a gym about a 10-minute walk away. Although it was a full-fledged gym with a swimming pool and yoga, I went only three times in six months. In order to keep my body from getting bigger, I switched to a gym near my daughter's daycare center. Since I could drop by after dropping my daughter off, I have been going five times a week for the past 10 months. (Each visit lasts about 10 minutes.) Moreover, they are located in various places in Tokyo and other parts of Japan, so even if I am too busy in the morning to go to my usual gym, I can find a gym on my way out and use it for a short visit. Also, the entrance opens with the same key, and the equipment and layout are almost the same everywhere. There is no need to receive instructions on how to use the equipment, and I can use the usual equipment wherever I am. For me, "usual" may be one of the key points to keep going to the gym, as I tend to take a break from the gym today due to bad weather, busy schedule, and so on. -Text and illustration by Ted Sakaki
