    Are you still swimming? I find that a good way to burn off energy.

    I'm not a strong swimmer and can only do the breast stroke:o

    I don't know if I can explain it right but I just can't go fast enough to get out of breath. I feel I could swim all day but it's just like a gentle walk:rotfl:
