What's the last form of exercise you've done?

Some moderate ballet partnering, first class back since holiday break. I both partake in the class and help showcase/teach the combinations. It is good for me as a professional to perfect my technique, and for the students as they get the opportunity to partner with someone experienced.

Wow nice! Always loved ballet.

Shoulder Press in the gym to start with and then 50 laps of various stroke pulling in the pool with hand paddles.

Make sure you're in fairly decent shape before using hand paddles to work out, they can really stress your shoulders and if you're not careful, they can also really tear you up.

Wow!

Really? That's you in the picture?

You must be in really good shape. I'm the last guy on earth to do ballet...

Hitting the gym early (5:30am).

Chest, triceps and 30 minutes on elliptical.

Nice looking gym there Frank.

That's quite a workout Mike! Swimming is such a good exercise.

Nice looking gym there Frank.

It's the LA Fitness in Wellington...very nice gym!

It has several racquetball courts, basketball court, indoor swimming pool, whirlpool and sauna.

Mike,

Those paddles make me exhausted just looking at them. The paddles must make a regular swim feel like you’re Mike Phelps

Looking at this thread has motivated me to get serious about getting back to the gym. I’ve been seriously slacking with my workouts the last few years.

I’d love to have the dedication to swim laps, but I cannot imagine wanting to jump in a 75 degree public H.S. pool when the temps are -10 to -25 degrees. I wasn’t designed for cold weather.

Yes, that is me in the picture! I am in good shape, but I never feel like I am in good enough shape. Ballet is exhausting!

I bet! Always thought dancers were in ridiculous shape!

JKDesign,

Ballet dancers make everything look so effortless and smooth. I’d struggle lifting my 50 pound son above my shoulder

I’m guessing the ballet profession has a lot of very meticulous and self-disciplined people. Doesn’t surprise me you are into detailing.

You’ll have to link some videos of your performances if allowed.
