My Fitness Mantra!

Yes! Its weekend again and my creative juices are all set to flow!
You all must be wondering, what is keeping Nazia busy nowadays? Well, lately I have realized there is one very important life-skill that I lack! That is swimming! So I started learning swimming couple of days back, 2 classes down and craving for more. Hopefully, I would turn out to be an expert swimmer in next 15 days, as per my instructor J
Last year, I learned driving and this year swimming and what else remains…Difficult question J Lawn tennis, maybe! Now question is, why LT and why not TT? ‘Coz of the glamour quotient and raw power associated with LT, I have been attracted to this game, since childhood. Pete Samprass happenend to be my first crush! Always dreamt of playing LT one day. Only prob is you need a partner for such activities, which is difficult to find.
In corporate world, ppl are always hard pressed for time, and it’s a herculean task to find a person who is unmarried and who shares your interests/passion. I have stressed on “Unmarried”, not ‘coz of any ulterior motive, but only ‘coz married folks need to rush home after work ‘coz of family constraints. And these activities are to be relished just like Biryani, and strictly not to be done in a hurry, otherwise the charm is lost and it becomes more of a chore, rather than a stress busting activity.
The pool at my workplace is the best in town, seriously! And the instructor is just superb, though a bit strict! J He often laments, “Nazia madam, aap gappe zyada lagate ho, aur practice kam karte ho!” Lolz! Well, why lose another opportunity for employee connect!? It’s the best way to connect with folks and share lighter moments! Not sure about how many calories I am burning though, anyways just to be on the safe side, I prefer running for 10 mins in the gym, just before swimming.
Ok, enough about my fitness mania! Cya next weekend!
Cheers! J
