The reason I ask is because I am finally feeling well again; I've had an underactive thyroid diagnosed, and after ages of testing, raising dose, testing, raising dose, etc I finally actually feel I have a little bit of spare capacity for the first time in ages - well, since ds was born five YEARS ago
My question for you fit mumsnetters is, I have very limited time for exercising as my life is basically drop ds at school, work, pick ds up from school, do dinner, bedtime, try to get on top of housework and laundry, etc. So it's evenings when I'll have to snatch some time to exercise. Because time is so precious to me I really do not want to be doing stuff I don't enjoy (I honestly would rather gnaw my own limbs off than do aerobics style classes, and going to the gym to get on machines I find utterly stultifying) so I want to go swimming.
However I really want what I do to make a difference, get me fit and help me lose a bit of weight; will swimming on it's own help me do this or must I really face the gym? I think what I'm asking is what exercise do I do to get good results as soon as possible?
Please say swimming. Go on.
