Come hell or high water…

infinity pool

There is a swimming pool on the top floor of the studio where I’m staying, along with gym facilities and a Jacuzzi but I always come home from work too late to use it. I’ve been packing on weight like it’s going out of style for the past few months and decided that I could do with a bit of regular exercise.

The infinity pool is really a too small to get proper laps done though, perhaps tomorrow I’ll go to the gym for some proper cardio on the treadmill before jumping into the water.

I’m trying to establish if there’s any truth to the (well accepted) axiom that regular exercise reduces stress. πŸ™‚

  1. Ryan: I have two (working) digicams – one is a dSLR (definately not waterproof) and one is a compact (which is waterproof to 10 meters, but from experience it can go lower). πŸ™‚
    adele archuleta: Haha! Yeah, it was a good swim but my muscles are all aching now from lack of exercise. I overdid it, didn’t warm up – just jumped straight into the pool and started going full on for 45 min. :S
    Kenny Sial: Here at sixthseal.com (if you observe the Pharmaceuticals and Drugs category) we do not accept “axiom” as being true unless it has been personally tested and experimented on. πŸ˜‰

  2. I know what you mean about needing some exercise. I have a pool in my condo that’s really just one floor from my unit. I stayed here for over 5 years and used the pool only once. *shame*

    Yeah, know what you mean, work sometimes does not allow us to come home in time to exercise. I’m trying my best though. πŸ™‚
    ah nel: Well, I’m a pretty good swimmer (was on the swim team in high school) so no worries on that. My mom took us to swim classes when we were in primary school!
    However, cramps are unpredictable, I got one while swimming in the public pool, it takes a bit of experience to not panic, and float and just take the stress of the cramp and use other appandages to get to the side. πŸ™‚
    Hey, who doesn’t love sexercise. πŸ˜‰

  5. Hey, nice. It’ll work, provided you do not justify your workout as a reason to eat more than usual. πŸ˜‰
    PS. The new doc was being an a$$. A phone-call from my previous doc confirmed my tendency to be hyper. She blatantly accused me of being high on drugs(yikes!!!). I merely speak very fast. That’s not an indication of anything. πŸ˜‰

    Cheers: Heh! Yeah, the point of this is to moderate intake of food and exercise more.
    Who’s that idiot doctor? I speak fast too, that doesn’t mean I’m on drugs.
    Take care mate and all the best!
    Jeff: Heh! It’s definately too small for that kind of water sports. πŸ˜‰

  9. tom: Yup, as long as you can do laps on it, the pool serves its purpose. πŸ™‚

  10. Hey – great website, just looking around some weblogs, seems a pretty wonderful platform you are using. I’m currently using Drupal for a few of my sites but looking to change one of them over to a platform related to yours as a trial run. Anything in particular you would recommend about it?

  11. For what its worth, the layout is definitely amazing. You know how to balance writing and images/videos. However, I cant get over how little you actually bring to light here. I think that everyones said the same thing that youve said over and over again. Dont you think its time for something more?

  13. How is it that just anybody can write a blog and get as popular as this? Its not like youve said anything incredibly impressive –more like youve painted a pretty picture over an issue that you know nothing about! I dont want to sound mean, here. But do you really think that you can get away with adding some pretty pictures and not really say anything?
