Drain

My community pool offers "Adult Liesure Swim" each day from 1-2pm. Basically it means you can move around in the pool with kickboards or floats (provided), walk the length of the pool, tread water, or even SWIM, but without the restriction of having to stay within a lane at a certain pace.

I went and did all of those activities, tried various swimming strokes, did some "toning"/resistance training with the floats, as well as some post-kickboard stretching, for about 35 minutes. Then to further drain my system I hopped in the sauna for 10 minutes. Man, I am WIPED OUT!

Liesure, my arse!!

	loz February 4, 2006 05:50 AM PST when I was in rehab after my accident I had an aqua-therapy routine designed for my unique needs... very strenuous exercise indeed! but excellent eh? I regained a lot of flexibility & strength/stamina, without hurting any joints at all. and don't you just feel so clean afterwards? :D. great exercise for those with back probs! l. x


	Tammy February 3, 2006 10:20 PM PST Wow... I'm tired just reading about it! ;) Have a great weekend!!


	AbbyNormal February 3, 2006 05:28 PM PST Great! Sounds like your back must be doing better. The thought of a swim now sounds too chilly for me, but I like the sauna idea!


	Michelle February 2, 2006 08:20 PM PST Swim as in the whole length of the pool? I prefer to float. Great job!


	Daveman February 2, 2006 06:43 PM PST Swimming strokes? Oh man! I am so sorry to hear about your strokes. Hope it don't hurt too badly. <g> Resistance Training is something of which, I am quite the professional. I've resisted training for so long I have callouses on my butt. So if you need pointers on Resistance Training or anything remotely related - just give me a holler. :-)
