Ok. Winter Swim has finally started. But what did i do to keep in shape? Well, not much. But a few things that i DID do are simple everyday things that could help you too.
The first thing I did was go running. It sounds dumb and painful, but once you get into it, its really not that bad. Of course, when your out of shape because you haven’t been swimming for a while, even 3 miles leaves you sore the next day.
The next thing is take the stairs. When i went to visit my grandma in her apartment, the elevator was tempting. But i took the stairs instead. It can really gelp, especially when you have stairs in your house.
Next: walk. Walking is great for you. You can get out and enjoy the fresh air and feel great without getting sore. You can also get errands done if you have any stores near your house. Even though swim has started again, i am walking home with a friend today and i can’t wait.
Any more ideas for getting in shape?
