Like the previous six mornings, today started with getting up at 5:00 a.m., milling around, reading a little and beginning to exercise at 5:30 a.m. As I mentioned in an earlier blog, on the second day of the cruise I found a place I liked to set up to exercise on the top deck, as the gym didn’t open until 6:00 a.m. (see picture at right). I quickly realized how nice it was to do the Insanity exercises with the cool ocean breezes. Plus, it was a sheer pleasure to watch the sun rise over the Mediterranean Sea each day.
Shannan and I tend to pack in activities on any vacation, and especially while we are on cruises. We usually walk a mile or two per day on the ship. That has not been the case on this cruise, as we have been moving from one event to another with little opportunity for breaks between. That notwithstanding, I think we have both lost weight on this cruise. We have opted for healthy meal choices (not forgoing moderate desserts), we always use the stairs and stay on the go. I recently learned that there are fitness cruises that take place on some cruise lines. I may look into the concept when we get home.
As for today, I have completed Shaun T’s Cardio Core and Balance, had an easy run on the boat and we soon dock in Palma de Mallorca. I have it in my mind to run on the beach while there, but of course that’s always subject to change.
