Swiming

I got hooked onto fitness regime during my days in UK. I used to hang out with my British colleagues most of the time. This was a call center environment, so there were lots of girls around. The guys maintained high level of physical fitness. That got me involved with fitness. I started getting involved with Taekwondo and other activities like swimming, badminton etc. I enjoyed exerting exhaustive fitness routine. The best part is the sweet radial after effect pain that the body endures the next day. There is this strong wave of ripple effect like feeling pulsating from different muscles of your body. I think it secretes some kind of neuron-ic energy in your brain, that is tangible to heightened level of pleasured feeling.

I have enrolled at 24 hr fitness club. I have decided to swim everyday, if not every single day then at least 5 days a week. Eat lots of protein and cut down on carbs. I am just good at breast stroke. So I will stick to it. I have noticed that my abs are becoming firm and I might have one or two pack lines appearing at my abs. Hope to continue doing this for sometime.
