Cardio-vascular work like swimming will also give you that extra bit of icing on the cake as you will also feel a genuine feeling of well-being if not "lightness" with your entire body, due to endorphines tickling your brain. The thing about swimming is that it is very low impact compared to pounding on the pavement and you can do it at your own pace and still get the most excellent results. Last thing, get your overall health, especially blood pressure and sugar and cholestrol checked professionally. Eat lots of fruit and vegetables if you don't already.
Mate,
Swimming is one thing that I cannot get grip on. I am not Buoyant enough. All I can swim is about 20 mts and
I took lessons in swimming last year and still struggling......hence no swimming for me.
cheers,
Bill
