Today I needed some exercise, so I went down to the gym and had a nice workout. When I was standing on the treadmill looking at the television that belonged to my treadmill, I started, like always, thinking about the future, and how the health centers will look like in the future. Will we even have any health centers in the future or do we just need to take a pill and we will directly feel healthy and look like body builders? I mean legal pills, not the ones we have today.
So let´s look back in time and see how health centers has developed the last couple of years. At first, the gyms were only for body building. When you thought of a gym you directly connected it to a dark studio where big muscled guys were standing lifting their heavy weights. After time health cent
ers have gotten more and more accepted. People realized that you don´t need to be a body builder to be accepted at a health center. When health centers got accepted more people went to the health centers, but not only to lift weights but to exercise. Then after a while the health centers started different group programs, like step aerobics and spinning and so on. When you go to the health center today, the most people go to the programs or the relax section, less people go to the actual body building section.

I think the health centers will be very high-tech in the future. I mean look at the health centers today. All the treadmills at my health center have its own television. In my sisters health center in Switzerland you have a card which you put in every machine that you want to use and it will automatically adjust the weight that you have pre chosen. The development of health centers are heading towards a high-tech era, even though it feels like we already entered it. It´s very hard to spot what will come in the future, but I think that the machines will be easier to use. With this I mean that you don´t have to put as much effort as you do today, the machines will help you train your muscles in a more efficient way.
I think that we are heading to health centers where we have machines that do the work for us. For example the thing they have on TV shop that you strap around your stomach and that gives you e
lectric shocks or something. Those electric shocks in 5 minutes are supposed to represent 100 sit-ups. We also have a kind of vibrating machine that you can stand on or lie
down on and do different exercises. The good thing about these is that the vibrating part does the work for you, but like my mom said, it has to be fun.

Or maybe we have a bed that makes the body work in peculiar way in the night that we don´t feel that can result in that we don´t have to go to the gym. Or maybe a chair that we have in our home that serves the same purpose as the bed.
So to summarize. I think we are heading to a more high-tech era. We are in one now, but it will develop more and more for every day. We are also heading to a future where we don´t have to do the work ourselves…..
That´s all for now….
