Re: Do you exercise?

Hi, Lion Queen. Wonderful to hear that you are a swimmer. You will find good company here! Walking and swimming are sports that marry well together, and it's admirable that you have some goals. Welcome!

Re: Do you exercise?

I swim up 3x a week ...between 30-50lengths all front crawl .....I also walk the dog ( border collie )at least once a day.....more depending on my partner's shifts.
I also do a very physical job as I'm a carpenter/joiner and I'm always moving/carrying/climbing/sawing/fixing etc but I contend work is NOT excercise in any true sense of the word!

That's good going Moscow, especially in the crawl. I used to swim loads of lengths in the crawl many years ago, but I content myself with the Breaststroke these days...Although I still like to do every alternate length in the crawl. I suppose if I swam more often I could do a few more lengths although my style would leave a lot to be desired.

Well done Moscow, and we need you over on the Exercise and Fitness thread..

Thank you OGF..

Tbh I swim because I enjoy it and the good feeling I get from it. It's almost as if I don't really see it as exercise and more as just something I do....therefore I don't worry about times or reps or any of that as I'm not particularly competitive. I simply go down the local pool....hope it's quiet and get in and do my thing!

Btw.....my 'style' won't win any awards......I'm not overly worried about that neither.

But as I say, It's about the feeling ( buzz) I get and that's why work can never be a substitute for exercise as I have NEVER got the same buzz from working hard!

Swimming makes me feel good too, I can go in the pool feeling a bit sluggish but always come out feeling really good, its so good for the heart and lungs. I don't always feel like going but I push myself and always glad I did afterwards

Me too Lion Queen!
I sometimes feel like high fiving people in the changing rooms after!
But it's a hotel spa
So I don't want to scare people

Rhian, I am curious....how is it that you are fortunate enough to to swim in a hotel spa regularly....do you pay for a pass of some sort?

Here's a high five from me .
