I have been swimming five, yes five times since my first visit. I went three consecutive mornings this week and yesterday. At the moment I am always stiff to start but as I warm up I speed up. It is making a world of difference to my outlook for the day it really starts me off and gives me a positive outlook. I have realised that exercising first thing which is what I used to do when I was horse riding works really well for me.

I have done the 40 min walk up the hill twice this week too.

Erica,

Glad your depression is beginning to lift do you swim first thing it really helps me feel more positive. Is the porcupine really making those noises??? At first I thought it was the person taking the video doing it to make it funny.We dont have porcupines here so I have no experience of them.

I have no personal experience of Tai Chi but it is something I have always thought about trying, that and yoga. I was looking into hot yoga as that is supposed to be better for us until a friend pointed out that it was responsible for the most passed on germs colds flu etc because you are working in the perfect hot environment for them.
