On high-stress days (like April 15th tax day in the USA) are you more likely to go swim or not go swim? Why?

Unfortunately for me, when something has to give, it's usually my swimming. For me, swimming gets put on the back burner while I'm working, or stressing. While I know logically then 2 hours it's going to take me to drive to the pool, swim, and drive back is GOOD for me, I end up swimming while focusing on the other stuff, and not on my swimming... then I drive to fast, get road rage, and stress more. On days like this, I get to work early, and then throw in some VASA, some sit-ups, and some push-ups. It's how I've learned to balance my stress level, and doing something physical. I think I need a pool in my office. ;) |

When I am stressed out I HAVE to go swimming or at least running. It's the best and only way to let some agression out. As a bonus training makes me tired and I sleep like a baby... A pool in the office.... hm, always though your office IS the pool (even if you're not in there yourself). I rather need an own room in the pool (outside of the water please!). I promise you I'll be getting up 10min before early practice and and will go to bed 10min after evening practice. it will save me a couple of hours driving a day. I hate traffic! I don't even want to think how it will be during the FIFA world cup 2010. |

I've noticed that when I'm swimming on a regular basis I don't have stress. When I get busy and don't notice that I'm not getting laps in, I tend to get really irritable, which then leads me back to the pool. A pool in the office would be heaven! |

Whenever I'm stressed I need to work out. Whether it is from work, personal life, or school when I was a student, I need 30-60 min to be physical and work things out. I always feel better afterward. i don't think I ever enjoyed swimming more then during finals. I'd take a 2+ hour exam then go to the pool and just float around for a bit. It really felt great and enjoyable. |

claro deves nadar pero haciendo series totalmente locas en cuanto a tecnica se refiere a una intensidad baja, asi mismo como intervalos de descanso cortos. |
