Going swimming today... and while its for fun I might as well get a little workout in.

So, any good exercises for the pool?

    I am so proud of you on the not smoking YAY!!!!!!!!!! Just wait til you start swimming!

    Ok, so you can do free style laps, but because it's for fun, try treading water. Go into the exercise here and look at some of the workouts for swimming. I personally do 20 mins. And I log it as freestyle swimming for 10 minutes, treading water for 5 mins and then vigorous for 5 mins. GREAT workout.

    Have fun, your makin me wanna go get in the pool now............its chilly out though........

    I did water aerobics for 2 yrs before we moved to where there is no pool...absolutely LOVED it!
    running up and down the lane, side steps up and down the lane, crunches and push ups on the side of the pool...
