Wow, good plan!

I have been swimming daily for 20-25 minutes. Lately I've added some sprints, just to mix it up a bit!

LCINFLA · 05-26-2012, 11:44 AM

Christine,

Hope you can join me... I do aerobics, and walking, but really enjoying swimming..

Great work, Lynn! Pool is closed today, but I'll head in Tuesday-Friday this week. Got a run in this morning (I'm on Couch to 5k), but I do wish that pool was open! It's hot.

LCINFLA · 05-28-2012, 06:30 AM

Christine... sorry the pool is closed...

I walked 4 miles and I hope to head to the pool.. my only problem is I am always so hungry after my exercise... and I love my Protein shake before I start... 24 grams of protein...

I tried couch to 5K it is great program.. too hot here to start it now... good luck..

Hope we can keep this thread going..

Great job, Lynn! I managed to run 2.5 miles yesterday in two separate sessions; this morning, back to the pool for a 20-minute swim (not sure how many laps! I can't keep track....lol). I was planning to run today but it's going to be another scorcher, so maybe some weight lifting instead...

LCINFLA · 05-29-2012, 08:13 AM

20 laps this morning...felt soooo good.....

Should we start a thread for June, and see how much swimming we can get in..maybe we could get more people interested,,,

Lynn

ChristineCQ · 05-29-2012, 09:03 AM

LCINFLA · 05-30-2012, 01:57 PM

26 laps this afternoon... making it 1 mile in 5 days with the floatie? between my legs...next month I will aim for more laps...

I'm trying out deep water running this year.

Amount of calories used by running, DWR, swimming, bicycling and cross-country skiing for 30 minutes at a moderate pace.
100 pound person burns 181.87 calories
150 pound person burns 272.78 calories
200 pound person burns 363.69 calories
250 pound person burns 454.60 calories

Capricapers, Deep Water Running... sounds like a great exercise..

.

The New Prevention Magaizne has alot of exercises in it this month... I started doing some bike exercises yesterday after my swim...

Keep up the good work, and join us in June and keep a record of your progress..

capricapers · 05-31-2012, 05:12 AM

Sure thing and thanks!

I'll take a look at that Prevention mag for ideas

Lots of exercise on Ytube too.

I've been doing pool work but today will be my first day trying the DWR after some elliptical. We bought that floatie belt thingie - lol.

May add my swin fins and weighted webbed hand gloves later too.

It's gonna be hot today - I'm also in FL ~

ChristineCQ · 05-31-2012, 05:31 AM

Wow! I love the DWR idea!! Going to see if my pool has the vests....

LCINFLA · 05-31-2012, 05:32 AM

Capricapers... I just finished a 2 mile walk... I should have started early..

What I use is not called a floatie.. you put it between your thighs and when you swim you are only using your arms...I figure since I get alot of leg exercise this would help my upper body...I used to use it a couple of years ago...hopefully it will build up my shoulders...

Have a great day,

I'm not swimming laps yet, but might in a couple of months. I do water aeorbics and HIIT in the pool though, and love it.

capricapers · 05-31-2012, 06:22 AM

"this would help my upper body" LCINFLA, that sounds fantastic! A well rounded routine. Already did a two mile walk? Great

I just got off the elliptical with 20 minutes (one of the set programs.) 150 calories. Dr. says to get my heart rate up to 140 for 20 minutes. That's tough!!! ugh

ChristineCQ - it sounds good huh? I'm about to go do mine. I take my DVD player out or the Ipad2 and watch TV -

If I can do maybe 20 minutes - may equal 150 cals?

That will be 300 give or take for the day

There was a time I went for 1000 a day (and about 10 years ago went for 3000 - 5000 a day (seriously!) but that took 'bout four hours at the gym) - but my arthritis knee will not entertain that AT ALL right now.

LCINFLA · 05-31-2012, 12:25 PM

20 laps today... and 30 minutes of pool leg exercises...

Lynn

LOOK FOR A JUNE THREAD ABOUT POOL LAPS AND EXERCISE..LET'S SEE IF WE CAN KEEP THIS GOING....
