I've started a new exercise routine: swimming 🏊🏻‍♀️💦

My BFF lives at a complex with a heated, olympic-sized pool, and we've committed to 3x/week sessions, along with strength training in her gym. I'm still doing yoga twice a week and Pilates, daily 3 mile walks, and livingroom dancing. The swimming is the newest cardio I'm folding in.

We also share a meal together afterward to stay on a healthy track. Salads and ratatouille so far. Friday we're grilling squash and asparagus poolside. BFF is giving Veganism a go (with whole food, not the processed version) since she says she gets fewer headaches when she eats clean.

Have a slim & trim Thanksgiving, fellow Americans!

Come to SoCal, @Cknchick! Outdoor pools are open and heated year round. And yes, the best part of the workout is girl time! Weight lifting is my least favorite exercise, but it's doable if I have a buddy to chat with. The swimming and jacuzzi soak afterwards is more my thing. 💚

JB I loved swimming when i was a kid. You could leave me in the lake or the pool for the entire day and it wouldn’t be enough. One thing i do miss. Lucky you!

I swim an hour a day, for years. I do it mainly for what it brings to me— mental peace.

I love swimming. I cycle to the pool 5x a week and it has been life changing!

Sweet!! What a great new commitment and you are so active! I love this time of year and all the squash that is available from the local farmers. Enjoy Thanksgiving!

The swimming is replacing the boxing since my wrist was x-rayed and found to have mild arthritis in the thumb pad area. Also have to work around that area with weights. I was an avid swimmer in my teens and 20’s.

I swim laps at the rec centre 3X/week and I love it, not the ocean but....

Thanks, guys! @Otb: I did the costume, yes, but unfortunately did not make my weight goal of 115. I have a lot of plans for 2024, and that is still one I intend to slay!

Swimming is great exercise. My wife calls it her therapy and if she misses a day she is a grump!

DM— if I can’t swim or hike I get really irritable. Swimming is magic for my brain.
