It is still really fun to play dance central. It is not that I have never disliked dancing it is just that taking dance classes or such would be both expensive and demanded planning. But instead of going to dance class once in a while I can simply just decide to dance for well, however long I want to dance without being stressed or feeling pressured to preform well. Just letting lose for a while to take a brake from studying and improving both in physical endurance as well as in the game.

Well, after Magda got back I took up twirling again to finish that short program we were talking about making. We now have an outline and I twirled a lot this week since I feel that I have the goal in sight and since the weather been so nice I have been able to go out and just twirl whenever I've wanted. I've longboarded for an hour or so as well so this week I think I have exercised for at least 3 hours.

Back to town and back to longboarding. I really miss longboarding when I am at my parents house. Since we live in the countryside there is not much asphalt to be longboarding on so I rarely even bring it with me. But now I can finally resume my longboarding. I really can not explain why it it so great since I am not making any tricks or anything just cruising. That is the thing, just cruising along the river bank is like an explosion of freedom. Like I could suddenly grow spread wings and fly. I have longboarded around 2-3 hours this week.

I just bought Dance central and a kinect for my Xbox 360, which kind of means that I will play a video games which is about dancing. You get sweaty quickly playing this and it is really fun. After a while you just dance one song over and over again just to get all moves right. Which of course I have not yet. But it is really fun and I can not help to love the combination of video games and exercise. I made a video of me dancing to dance central, I know it looks kind of funny but I just wanted to show how it works. The second video was not made by me but it shows how the game looks.

So I was out jogging again rather early in the morning, it was nice in a way. Because I spend the summer at my parents house and we live in the country side it jogging or simply taking a walk is really nice. It is interesting that I never was able to see the beauty in the landscape around me, until now when I spend most time in town due to school. It took about 30 minutes.

Finally summer!! For me longboarding is a must in the summer time, somewhat like ice-cream on a hot summer day. It comes with a sense of freedom, It is almost like there nothing but you creating the wind and the world passing by. For me longboarding always comes with a certain excitement as well. Since I got my longboard right before starting IB and moving to Umeå I always remember the first time I stood on the longboarding dreaming of the unknown future, and the excitement of what then was to come. Therefore longboarding for me is like starting a new exciting adventure every time I set my foot on my longboard. I've been longboarding for about 2-3 hours this week.

Once again walking in an attempt to get rid of stress, it works quite well actually, it is very calming and it allows me to take a brake from all the school work and simply enjoy the world outside. I've spend around one and a half hour walking this week.

Me and Magda was out twirling for a while. Twirling will be much easier from now on, me and Magda have moved in together and it is no longer winter. Which means that now you can just go outside to twirl for a while when you feel like it. So we twirled for about 1 hour.

I've been really busy lately since I have mocks soon, I when I get stressed out the best thing for me to do is really to get out of the house and do something else and for example take a walk. So that is what I'm been doing this week. I've taken about two walks this week just trying to think about other things than studying and giving myself a brake. So a complete of about 1 hour of walking.

It turned into two very short jogs instead of one longer one. I really do not jogging to much and therefore I was out for shorter periods of time. But twice, I get a bit frustrated thought because I exercise a lot during the summer practically biking or longboarding everywhere. Play rounders, badminton, and swim. While in the winter I take the bus and so I really should try to exercise more in the winter. both jogging tour tock about 15 minutes, so a total of 30 min.

Twirling indoor is not the easiest since you're not able to practice throws and at least I am afraid of breaking something swinging the baton around. It still works and the short program me and Magda worked on is finally coming along. I've been practicing for about 1 hour this week.

So me and Magda went out jogging for about 40 minutes or so. Magda is a quite frequent runner at least in my opinion and this was the first time as I came along. I usually find jogging very boring but it was much nicer running alongside someone so one can keep a conversation up at the same time. But all in all I do not think it is something I will end up doing often, there are other ways to exercise even if jogging is one often thought of.

This time I'm really going to start to do actually hard stuff! Like tossing the baton an spinning, and a really hard ting to explain. Most of the stuff Magda have thought me earlier I've been able to learn in a week. But this! Will at least take me two! We kept at it for about an hour as usually. I've also been practicing outside for about one hour.
