Exercise 4 Health, Mental Health, and Addiction vs. The Endorphin Factory

Right on! :)

Now I'm trying to follow up with more intense exercises during the days I'm not swimming. After a spin class, swimming becomes simply recreational. It's fun but not really exercising like I was expecting..
 
i went for a run today for the first time in a week or something, rly needed it, have been in the dumps .

crosstraining might be a good idea or maybe martial arts? Im quite happy with my exercises atm. I thought about martial arts etc but I have other goals for the following years.

Back to the gym tomorrow. Rest monday back tuesday wed thurs and possibly friday for hot yoga
 
That must also be nice when it's all covered by snow and you can do some Snowshoeing. :)

I'll get back to the gym tomorrow. I can't believe I'm actually enjoying this. Pretty much actually.

Exercising makes me feel good and in a great mood. Erases the daily stress. ;)

I used to love running everyday but I can't anymore as I had a knee surgery few years ago.

I took the day off today :) and will go for 2 periods of swimming, hidro and free style.
 
^im getting back into running actually. Theres a marathon on sept called the fun run and i think its about 5k or 10k. My boss is an avid runner and shes in amazing shape at 50. Im starting to get back into running in two days. I want to impress her lol
 
^With all those spin classes you've been doing -- you will definitely make it. :)

As planned, 2 periods of swimming yesterday and hidrogyn this evening right after work. Feels great!
 
Have just come back from my second 'round'. This is fun!!
Work out aerobics and swimming. :)

noice Erik!

Back tomorrow for a full cardio workout and weights!
 
^ Yes it's a good feeling.

I'm working out with weights in the pool (rubber but heavier under water). It's a really nice combination.

And free style swimming every other day. These exercises are really making my days better.

I wish I'd had that energy before!! :)

I planned to do the exercises in the morning but I went for my brazilian wax sesh so I can't do intense exercises today. I am planning to do some weight lifting though, something that doesn't require sweating so all is good!
 
indoor soccer today, i am not used to short intense spurts of exercise; we lost, but it was fun.
 
It's really fun to go out and do something different, specially on weekends.
I still find it a little difficult on Sundays when everything is slow, quiet and boring from my perspective.
