From an emotional distance, the backyard pool can waver like a mirage. That’s when my commitment to daily swimming fades like an old bathing suit. Anchored down by to do lists, my water wings feel deflated. Fortunately, I’m developing alternate routes to good health.
Here’s the strategy:
Stay shallow: Swimming in the shallow end of the pool can offer the same health benefits as deep water laps. Likewise, small bursts of exercise can yield as much value as a longer session.
Run errands: Food or Fitness? That’s the choice I face when my schedule forces me to choose between shopping and swimming. Hint: In that battle of the bulge, the empty frig always wins! But if I walk or run to the store, the dry cleaner or other errand stops, I can fill the frig and my daily exercise quota.
