Swimming Under the Stars…Highly Recommended!!!
So we finally got our pool open!! Woo hoo!!! But it seems that when you are the only one in the child-filled neighborhood with an in-ground pool, your pool is always overflowing with other people’s children. LOL…I love that the kids are happy and they love having friends over. But it makes it a little hard for Mom to get her exercise time in. “What’s the solution?” you ask…
Moonlight!! No kids allowed!!! It’s absolutely the most beautiful, peaceful time!! The hubs and I put the kiddos (worn out from a full day of swimming) to bed, grab our suits and towels, and head out to the pool! It’s always so warm at night, and the stars are breathtaking!
I start with basic water aerobic exercises, do some laps, and then have fun doing the silly stuff we all did as kids: handstands, snorkeling, flips, and diving off the diving board! We almost always have our retro tunes turned on. Good thing the kids are in bed, right?! What would they think if they saw Mommy doing a cannonball off the diving board to the sound of Vanilla Ice, Ice Baby…Too Cold, Too Cold!!?? HA!
After we’ve had our fun, Hunky Hubby and I spend the rest of our time floating on our backs watching the stars. What a wonderful way to get some much needed exercise, and much MORE needed grown up time after a long day of entertaining neighborhood kiddos!
What types of exercises are YOU doing this summer??
Good to hear from you. I have been doing a boot camp since the 17th, we meet Monday- Thursday from 5:15 to 6:15 PM OUTSIDE. Monday and Wednesday are cardio days and Tuesday and Thursday are strength days. I am really sore this morning from the lunges we did Tuesday. But I am taking it one day at a time.
I hope to see you on the 14th at the support group meeting.
