Exercise

I have never been big on exercise since I have never really found any sport I was finding pleasure practicing. That said since I arrived in Darwin I have taken up on swimming big time. I isually go to the pool at least 5 times a week swimming anything between 1 and 1.5 km. I additionally have this machine on which I occasionally step on in front of the TV. But this is much less fun! This morning I woke up a bit earlier to try and burn off the extra calories from yesterday's dinner.

Swimming Pool

You know that I am not (unfortunately) really a 'sporty' person. I do not especially enjoy exercising just for the sake of it. I prefer visiting galleries, record hunting, theatre going and all the rest. Actually, I prefer just travelling... The only sports I used to play sometimes were tennis and squash. That said, I have always loved swimming. But swimming for pleasure. It is only recently that I took swimming as an exercise. There is a pool not too far from my place of work and residence so I have started the habit to go there on a daily basis to enjoy in the open air and cooling water. I just do laps late morning or during lunchtime. After 20 or 30 laps I really feel the effort but it is an exercise I enjoy doing and on top of that it really empties my head.

Above is the 50-meters lap pool I am going to.
