Swimming has a low injury rate compared with other forms of exercise. ![]() That means you can have a bit of a conversation some times, and other times are breathing so hard through your mouth that you can barely talk," Sherlock says. ![]() "My best advice is to work at all intensity levels, if that's medically appropriate. Normally heart rate monitors are a good tool to measure workout intensity but they are generally less accurate in water. To assess how much of a workout you're getting, Sherlock suggests using the perceived exertion scale, which measures body signals like muscle fatigue. The deeper you are submerged, the greater the pressure. This pressure of water on the body pushes blood to the heart and improves circulation. Swimming can provide as good of a workout as land-based activities like biking, walking, or a dance class.Īnother factor is hydrostatic pressure, which is the force a fluid exerts on an object. The American Heart Association suggests two and a half hours per week of moderate-intensity physical activity for optimal health. In short, get over the barrier of subtitles and get the movie. In terms of a time travel thriller, this is a top notch effort. The central story might feel a bit like an extended episode of THE TWILIGHT ZONE and does have the occasional weak spot, but it twists and turns like a python in pain, is beautifully filmed and is very intelligent. Just how far would you go to regain the perfect life? It works both as a thriller with unexpected developments, tension and violence outbursts and as an examination of ethical dilemmas that a normal scenario could not handle. The mechanics of the door are never explained (one character says it is a portal that transports back in time five years, which makes it far too much of a coincidence that it David discovers it at just the time he needs) and the butterfly that guides him to it (the film's one and only, and beautifully rendered, CGI effect) puts this more in the region of a dark fantasy than science fiction, but the mechanics aren't what the film is about. Through them, each twist becomes compelling rather than ridiculous. It takes an initial premise (travelling back to the day of his daughter's death) and then spirals off in a whole number of unexpected and highly entertaining directions.Īt the heart of this are the utterly believable performances from Mads Mikkelsen (who has the unenviable task of playing the same person at two different stages of his life, but then has to play one of those people trying to pretend to be the other!) and Jessica Schwarz. That shouldn't put you off, because this is one of the most delightfully unpredictable films that we've seen in quite a while. THE DOOR is a startlingly original science fiction movie that won't get the audience it deserves because it's in german with subtitles. Unfortunately, things don't quite go to plan and he finds himself on a spiral down into a very personal hell. He has a chance to save her and earn his redemption. It is then that he discovers a doorway that leads him back to the exact day, and time, of his daughter's death. Now divorced and an alcoholic, he has hit rock bottom and wants to kill himself. ![]() ![]() Then his daughter drowned in the swimming pool whilst he was visiting his mistress across the road.
