Staying fit is important for divers in any level

why I strongly believe having a good fitness is so important in diving.. Can you imagine if you have bad weather underwater. Underwater we could have storm too.. Do you know that? This is why its important because what if you need to fight the weather, will you be able to survive? it is not the same as on land(surface). on land, we have all the oxygen we need to run away from it.

can you imagine if you need to kick hard to get away from a washing machine current? down current... all that? We are not God to control the weather, we could plan not to do this and that but what if it just happen underwater? we want to be prepare for this weather... So STAY FIT

We have to have a solid body to get into the weather, we need to have a strong kicks to swim away. we need to have stamina to fight. If we dont we can get washed away. Water energy is strong yah by the way guys. Ive been in that type on weather, it is soooo important to stay fit. This is why i am the way i am...

I maybe dive in average about 2 dives a day. In a week lets say i have 1 day off in a week. 6 days x 2= 12 dives per week. 12 dives x 4 weeks = 48 dives in a month. 48 dives x 12 months = 576 dives in a year. Lets say about 8 years Ive been diving seriously in average. 576 dives x 8 = 4,608 dives ... 

Is that too much of math?.. but i do want to continue .. Lets say every each dive on average an hour per dive. that means my bottom time is 4,608 hours. that's about 192 days i live in the water.. Thats more than half a year... hehehe.. Do i deserve to be called mermaid yet ?

Im actually just doing this math while writing this blog. It surprised me that Im still alive.. Thank you God! You have no idea how i love to be in water. Either to fun dive or courses dive, I get really excited when i can enter the water. Im the type of person who would get in water as soon as in im in island before even checking in. I would totally leave my back pack at the reception, get in the water while waiting for check in.. :)

Diving keeps me fit especially I know what the weather can do to me and i stay fit for the students or customers. I want to make sure I can be at best to take care of myself and them when they need me.

I usually will do my workouts and exercise after work.. more likely like a walk or run .. because there is not so much workout you can do right after dives.. especially workout with weights it is definitely a NO NO. I dont exercise before work because i want to make sure i still have the energy to go in water to work. and you NEVER want to do any exercises or sports in between dives. It is because you need to release the nitrogen level in your body, not adding the numbers of nitrogen .. (if you are a diver, im reminding you, if you are not a diver, one day you will understand why there is surface interval time ) dont worry you will learn if you take diving license... . 

Majority of the time i either walk, run or cycling. Nothing too serious. But i like yoga and HIITS workout too. I do yoga or HIITS exercise as they are more intense when i maybe get out from the dives not too late in a day or maybe on my dry day(perhaps off day?). im not really a aport person but at time i miss the feeling of adrenaline rush. I miss the feeling if i dont do enough exercise. my bosy will automatically craving for it. exercise help me release my stress and unwind from hectic day at work, believe it or not.. heheh.... I feel so relax and complete when i sweat... i feel good and i feel loved :)

Now that we are all in lockdown 2020 because of COVID 19, the internet been so good to me,,, I still manage to do virtual yoga with my friends, I youtubed workout that require less jumping (as I have to stay indoor and respect the downstairs neighbour)...

Love yourself by staying fit, watch what you eat and what you put in your mouth. You are what you eat!

Stay healthy always and lets get out dream  COVID 19 BODY!! YeeHaaa 

Love,
