Swim Into Shape

I've always been a "mental workout" kind of gal. My accumulated accolades include "Class Bookworm," lettering in Debate, "Most Innovative," winning multiple history awards (including an honorary DAR) and some Chairman's Awards....but not a one on the physical side. Nada. Zero.

Yes, I'm a wuss, and I know it. Working out can be so boring (and no, shopping does not count). But I do have some great features to work with, and some serious workout sessions will get me back to that celebrated shape. So more focus on the fruits and veggies, and my daily vigorous swim regimen. Deep water aerobics are very low impact (a comforting fact for the well-endowed) but provide outstanding muscle toning and cardiovascular results. After my 2nd full week I'm back into the groove, and again ready for circuit training with the ex-Marine.

Amazing to think that 2 generations out we've reached the dream.....white-collar managerial positions yet at the expense of a certain amount of physicality which is, as it turns out, a health requisite. Go figure. Anyway, time to suit up and go to swim.

Today's MUCH: A great place to swim when you are not in SoCal or Florida or the Yucatan.

Another MUCH: Marine circuit workout ....just double this and substitute water run and hydrobiking for bike/jog. Explore the site, lots of other invaluable fitness articles and advice.

Today's SUCH: Women who let their junk hang out during exercise sessions. Bikini-gal, are you trying to flash the instructor? You might want to discard the swim-floss in favor of something more appropriate.
