Exercise - Thai Style

I'm sure many of you decided that you needed to exercise more in 2007 - us too!

Finding somewhere to exercise, on a budget, in a big city is a challenge, but we have found some fun solutions and our exercise regime started yesterday.

Lumpini park is our 'playground' of choice. At 6.00pm every evening a mass spectacle occurs - public aerobics. The kings national anthem is played across the park (stand still everyone), then the fun begins.

It's free, entertaining and good for you (3 in 1 - like a kinder egg). The whole experience was hilarious, all types of people were taking part, although I think I was the only foreigner (which made me stand out). I was all over the place, I think I need to practice my routines before next week - it all happens so fast!

James has joined the public swimming pool in the park (after a doctor cleared him of having any skin diseases!), and after leaving me with my aerobics buddies went for a swim. He has new shorts and a hat, with matching go faster stripes. I think he enjoyed it, when I meet him I was greeted with 'guess who was the fastest in the pool'!
