Until I met my husband who had a membership to the local gymn. And there was a pool. And I love water. It is the ultimate safety/cradle. And then I read that swimming burned, like, 3 times as many calories as treadmilling or weight-lifting and I'm middle-aged and was getting the tire around the middle so I said I can do this. Play in the water to get skinny. And I did 2 laps and thought I would die. And did three the next day. And then 2 miles, finally, because as much as you swim you want to swim more. It is entirely addictive. If you are away for a while you are insane. It takes a few days back to restore the sanity. There is a place, in the water where everything "real" goes away. And Sanity is restored. Sort of a Zen thing. Go work out, Andy. Please. A.A. I don't know why it's such a hard sell to most people. Especially after a hard day, there's nothing like it. Not for Body Beautiful reasons either. It just feels great and, as you say, is sanity making.
