One, Two, Three, Splash!

Exercise.

Do you love it or hate it?

Sad to say, most of my life I've hated it. Call me a lazy lout or a mega-procrastinator if you want, but the thought of getting an exercise regime going has always given me the "willies."

My gorgeous, state-of-the-art treadmill is referred to as my "dreadmill."

However, as luck would have it, swimming appeals. About three months ago, I signed up for lap swimming and water aerobics at a local, public indoor pool. Three to four times a week, I do an hour of laps plus free-style pool exercises like "scissors" and hundreds of knee lifts. Then comes the aqua aerobics class. Some days I do just one hour in the pool and other days, two hours.

Conclusion: swimming makes me feel GREAT. While it doesn't make a person lose weight, like heavy duty aerobics, it does shape the body and tone things up. This kind of exercise routine I can keep up.

It's enjoyable and energizing. Splish splash splish splash! Hurray! Finally found an exercise I love!
