Driving uses muscles.

I recently attended a Porsche driving school (Porsche Track Experience) and wasI realized that driving uses a lot of muscle.

I learned that when braking hard, it naturally requires tread strength, and in the slalom, it also requires the power of the legs and the torso to press the back against the seat and push the steering wheel.

But I am not aiming to be a racer, of course, so I don't need to be muscle conscious in my daily driving.

Nevertheless.Maintaining a healthy body shape with moderate muscle tone will have a positive impact on daily life beyond driving a carI have recently come to think that I need to be more aware of this.

I am now 37 years old. A little after the new year, I will turn 38. Even though I still feel young, I sometimes get tired more easily than before and am sometimes surprised by unexpected changes in my physical condition.

GENNINI, this year was the most health-conscious year of my life, as I improved my intestinal health, did simple workouts every day, and became more conscious of my diet for my skin, but this fall, I got sicker than ever before.

My daughter has a cold sore, I get mysterious urticaria, I get shingles for the first time in my life...and so on.

When I went to the dermatologist, he said, "Weak resistance due to fatigue and stress.I felt a little sorry for myself, "Why...?" I was a little bit ashamed of myself, because my stress was drastically reduced compared to when I was working all year round until my early 30s, and I wasn't doing anything that exhausting.(The only thing that comes to mind is the stress of raising children.)

Maintenance for humans, too.

So, the other day, I was at theFor the first time in my life, I decided to go for a physical exam.When I was working for a company, I had a medical checkup every year and was able to check my body regularly, but recently I had not even had a thorough medical checkup.

It's just that "I like the physical exam at XX hospital.I did not have any information such as "I am a doctor," so I messaged a Porsche driver who lives nearby and asked him about it, and he was able to give me a lot of detailed information.

Before I started this Porsche blog, I didn't know any doctors, but now I know a lot of doctors... In many ways, I'm kind of glad I started this blog.(reassuring when the time comes)

Hospital physicals are not.A complete examination of every part of the body, including gynecological diseases, over a four-hour period in the morning.The health checkup center itself was a very new building. The health checkup center itself was a very new building, and the inside was so clean that it was hard to believe that it was a hospital, and the facilities were up-to-date, so it was good in those respects, but...

The stomach examination, in which an endoscope is inserted through the nose, was quite painful. I had heard that it was much easier than an endoscopy through the mouth, but tears and drooling came out, reminding me of morning sickness for the first time in a long time.(Though morning sickness was dozens of times harder.)

After the examination was complete, a medical interview was conducted to determine whether "No particular abnormalityI was relieved to be told that my bone density and blood age were in the 20s. I was especially happy to hear that my bone density and blood age were in my 20s, which made me want to jump up and down, but it also made me realize that I must continue to lead a healthy lifestyle and not get carried away.

To keep driving Porsche.

My husband also goes for a physical exam every year, and so far has had no major illnesses, butI can continue to drive my favorite Porsche because of my health.I think especially recently.

Human maintenance is much more important than the maintenance of your car.

The couple always look forward to updates and my husband's spiritual mentor, a Boxster rider.WATA.But this year, he was hospitalized for an illness and underwent surgery, and he wrote in his blog that he was unable to ride his Boxster for a few months. I was very impressed by what he wrote in his blog.

After the case was discovered, I began to have a fear somewhere in my mind that one day I would collapse and would never be able to drive a Boxster again.
In that case, I decided to run while I could, so I ran Tohoku in September last year, Kyushu in November, the Kii Peninsula in March this year, and Chugoku and Shikoku in GW this year, each to the best of my ability.(omitted)
I went into the surgery after doing what I wanted to do, and I am very happy that I will be able to drive a Boxster again as a result.

wata-san, sorry for introducing you without permission... (explosion)

But I really think you are right.Being able to drive a Porsche now is not something to be taken for granted.It is too late to regret after something happens.

Of course, there may be some illnesses that cannot be detected by medical checkups, and there is always the possibility of accidents in everyday life, but from now on I will always go for a physical exam once a year to make sure that I am in good health and that I have a good chance of being able to get the best out of my life.It's not just cars that need to be properly inspected and maintained, but people as well.Today, I vow once again that in the future I will become a grandmother who wears bright red nails and drives a manual Porsche.
