These days, I only swim when I am near a tropical beach with a mask and snorkel - and that mostly involves drifting along gently with no need to turn my head to breathe. I am lost in admiration of triathletes who are willing to plunge in & swim while others try to kick them in the face. Yes, my joints are old, but so far, not old enough to lure me into the pool. Maybe your workout idea can change that.Death Ride Grandmanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-27343482755847774332014-04-17T14:28:20.846-04:002014-04-17T14:28:20.846-04:00It does not bleed and must recover within 6-8 week...It does not bleed and must recover within 6-8 weeks if it is cared for properly.

Usually I am the non-athlete wondering what is up with these people that love running or are willing to do burpees without a trainer pressuring them into it. Weird!<br />The pool for me is complete freedom, partly because my weight is less of an issue, but also you can be completely private doing laps until some flailing dork turns those laps into an obstacle course.Cindyhttp://fatchicksfitness.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-87677712122303388102014-04-16T13:15:29.089-04:002014-04-16T13:15:29.089-04:00Dear, brave Crabby - Yes: brave!!

You so vividly and accurately describe the reasons some of us disdain the thought of entering a body of water being close on a scale of equivalency to getting ready for a root canal that I just about wanted to hop into a nice, warm fluffy robe to 'recover'! AND you actually DID this?! You certainly earned that big ass breakfast - most definitely - being in the water makes a person voraciously hungry. I'm an inch by incher, too. But, now you almost have me wanting to try the opposite. "Almost"................... :) So, I think I'll do the next best thing and just go have that big assed breakfast!

So I kind of look at swimming/water exercise as something I could do if I'm not doing the thing I really want to (which is unfortunate).<br /><br />Having said that, when I was a kid, you could not get me OUT of the pool. I don't like salt water or pond water, but I was like a fish when it came to swimming pools.Outsmart the Fat!https://www.blogger.com/profile/06414714464048588055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-48614241976613999062014-04-16T12:43:50.260-04:002014-04-16T12:43:50.260-04:00I like the jumping up and down bit.
