Fun and Good Exercise
Also, I understand you can get some pretty good exercise paddleboarding.
My only concern would be sharks.
Don't bright colors and strong motion attract them?
You've got to be brave, but not stupid. ;-)

I'm Sure You Did
I am about to get into the swimming pool.
A water aerobics class is letting out and a bunch of older ladies are on the way out of the water.
One of them stops, give me a big smirk, and says:
"Don't worry we warmed it up for you!"
I thought for quick second, and said with a completely straight face:
"I'm sure you did!"
The joys of swimming life. ;-)

Parachute Running
Sprinting with a parachute on for added resistance.
Add in the hot, humid, summer sun burning down.
And you have yourself a decent exercise routine going on.
Hurry up and slow down.
You run yes, but the parachute says no.
Go! go!! go!!!
You're almost over the finish line. ;-)

Helping The Elderly
Someone playing ball with an elderly lady in a wheelchair!
Too often, I think we forget or neglect the older, disabled, and disadvantaged population.
These were once the people who cared for us!
As we grow older, life can get so much harder in terms of health, disability, finances, and even loneliness.
It is so important to show compassion, kindness, and care for the people who need us, and not to forget anyone along the journey of life! ;-)

Trying To Maintain Normality
People are trying to get out of the house for just a little bit each day amidst the mandated social distancing.
Especially difficult is to try to get some exercise with all the fitness centers, gyms, and pools closed down.
Some people are just choosing to go for a walk around the track or get in a quick workout with a few friends or family members.
Can we be normal when everything is abnormal? ;-)

Israel 2020: Day 6
It was sunny and warm out.
Lots of people exercising, running, and enjoying the outdoors.
The blue Mediterranean Sea, the white sand, and breeze in the air was lovely.
Even a funny statue of former Prime Minister Ben-Gurion doing a headstand as he used to do in his fitness routine.
Shabbat is a good time to stop and take that much needed walk on the beach. ;-)

Lifeguard Needs A Lifeguard
The guards are required to renew their lifeguard certification every two years.
When I asked if he swims, he said "not regularly" and then when I asked if he exercises, he said half-jokingly: "I sleep, eat, and drink!"
But then he told me about the lifeguard exam and a couple of people who should've never been taking the test.
One lady gets waist deep into the pool, and the proctor tells the lady to swim to the other side of the pool and back. Instead of swimming, she starts crying hysterically that she doesn't know how to swim!
Another guy was swimming funny with his arms flailing and his butt out of the water. When the proctor asked him what was up with that and to show him what was hiding under his trunks, the guy showed him that he was wearing an inflatable plastic band under his pants.
Fail, fail, fail--these are life endangering guards, NOT "lifeguards!" ;-)
