Fetch!

Fetch is another great way to tire out a puppy! Especially when he brings the ball back to me! Good boy!

Parent Child Therapy

Getting out in nature and going for a walk does my body and mind good.

Every Breath You Take

Internet since I'm still on the injured non-surfing list, I've had to resort to other methods of exercise.

"Okay, go up and down the stairs five times," I say to myself.

I'm not sure how many times I did the stairs, because I lost count after three, five or six times. Besides, my fitness pal measures calories burned by the number of minutes exerted, not by how many steps I climb.

Twenty minutes up and down the steep steps only burns 163 calories, and that's not enough if I want to eat more than just rabbit food.

So I keep climbing. Thirty minutes burns about 245 calories, which is pretty good. But I figure, "why not go for forty minutes and burn 327 calories?!"

Why not? I will tell you why not. Or maybe I should let my calves tell you.

"Every move you make, every step you take, I keep crying, baby, baby, please," wail The Sore Calves.

Creepy. I feel like my calves are stocking me.

Sand Dunes:The Original Treadmill

I went up and down the sand dune for an hour, in lieu of not surfing today. Take that treadmill!

Emergen-C Immunity Boost

I read in a New York Times article the other day that strenuous exercise can temporarily weaken the immune system. Whereas, moderate exercise, generally, seems to strengthen the immune system.

Surfing in freezer water is probably considered strenuous exercise. I stay busy, by catching lots of waves, because I don't like going to the gym.

After a surf, I boost my immune system with Emergen-C, an electrolyte, vitamin C and B powdery mixture. (Mix packet with glass of water) Just in case, the article in the New York Times is right.
