Re: Do you exercise?

Hey Roxy. I know you love swimming as much as I do. Most of my swimming is outdoor swimming and yes the water is much cooler especially when you first get in but you actually get used to it. I think you could get used to swimming in cooler water better than you would get used to wearing wet suite.

I feel bad for those who rely on fitness gyms to get their exercise. My husband is one of them. Our gyms have been closed also but we are getting quite a bit of exercise by walking and going canoeing / kayaking. Most of our paddling routes are about 10 to 12 kilometres.

Re: Do you exercise?

Roxy, hahahaha....yes the ins and outs of getting in and out of a wetsuit can be a frustration. Consider buying one and returning it if it doesn't fit. Really good idea to talk to the surfers.

Re: Do you exercise?

I've enjoyed myself at the gym, now it has re-opened and I'm getting back the strength that evaporated so quickly during Lockdown. It doesn't take long to go, does it! Luckily the stamina seems to be unchanged so I can still exercise steadily without a break in between different machines.

I think next week I may try and go there every day. I usually do around 90 minutes and, on those rare "smooth" days I can do 2 hours or more. Being restricted to 55 minutes is not ideal for me, enjoyable though it is to be out of the house and doing some proper exercise.

Re: Do you exercise?

Nice to hear you are getting back into the swing of things Tachyon, I think stamina takes longer to go than strength. I know if I don't run through injury, when I start again I can still do the distance but the speed is abysmal.... It takes a few weeks to return to my normal pace.

Ah, nice to know it's not just me! This is my second week, and I can feel an improvement already, thank the gods.

Re: Do you exercise?

My husband asked me to go for a walk up to the bluffs in an area we go a few times a year. Last weekend we got lost so it was a 3 plus hour walk. I had finally heard some people working at a junk yard so I could ask for directions. Luckily we were going to the right way. One of the two guys showed us to the main road. It was too long a walk but enjoyable. I got so many pretty pictures.
