He thought it was
The biggest puddle
He’d go splashing through.
Turns out it was
The smallest lake--
And the deepest, too.

During July days you can find yourself thinking it is HOT HOT HOT!!! You do not want to waste our summer days inside a gym but unless you’re an early bird, or love to run at midnight, during the day can be a miserable time to exercise.
Mountain View Hospital employees have access to our pool from 6am-7pm Monday-Thursday and 6am-6pm Fridays, and it is a cool way to burn those calories.
Swimming can burn anywhere from 600 to a scorching 1000 calories an hour depending on your intensity. Also for those of you with joint issues the water is a great option that keeps your cardio non weight bearing but your cardiovascular Health in top form. There is even an option for those who can’t swim. Just throw on an Aqua Jogger belt and run suspended in the water, you will be shocked at how high your heart rate can get. If you want to have an even bigger challenge add a set of buoyant dumbbells and choo choo with your arms in small circles….can you say “goodbye flabby arms”?
Member pool hours are
Monday-Thursday 6am-12pm, and 4:00pm-7:00pm
Fridays 6am-12pm, and 4:00pm-5:45pm
If you are not a MV employee or member our guest fee is only $5.00 a day, so get in the water!!
Give this a try….
1 lap water jog
(down and back is 15 meters in our pool)
1 lap water jog with dumbbells
Repeat for 30 minutes
Don’t forget to stretch
