Emo. 10-Minute Total-Body Toning Circuit. Work It, Wear It: Sexy Strapless Arms. Your Total-Body Swim Workout. Get a Plan Lap swimming is far more productive (and a lot more fun!) When you have a plan, like this beginner-friendly one from Washington and Lee University swim coach Joel Shinofield. The effort level is based on your rate of perceived exertion (RPE), or how hard you feel like you're working.

Use a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 meaning very little exertion (floating in the water on spring break) and 10 meaning full-out effort (trying to keep up with Dara Torres). Do this workout two or three days a week, followed by the total-body workout to the right. Total-Body Post-Swim Workout These moves, created by Kris Houchens, former YMCA National Champion and coach of Indy SwimFit in Lafayette, Indiana, is a perfect complement to your swim session. The toning moves will help you get that long, lean look swimmers are known for, hit the few muscles that swimming misses, and strengthen the ones you use during your strokes to make you an even better swimmer.

The DIY Couturier • 21 Tips to Keep Your Shit Together When You're Depressed. A while ago, I penned a fairly angry response to something circulating on the internet – the 21 Habits of Happy People. It pissed me off beyond belief, that there was an inference that if you weren’t Happy, you simply weren’t doing the right things. I’ve had depression for as long as I can remember. It’s manifested in different ways. I did therapy. I did prozac. I did more therapy. So, this Cult of Happy article just set me off. It’s bad enough without people ramming Happy Tips at you through facebook. A friend of mine suggested that I write something from my point of view because, surprisingly, I manage to give an outwards impression of having my shit together. So, here it is. My 21 Tips on Keeping Your Shit Together During Depression 1) Know that you’re not alone. 2) Understand that the Happy People are usually acting out of some genuine (albeit misguided) concern for you, that it’s coming from a good place, even if the advice feels like you’re being blamed for your disease. 11) Cry.
