Hi Everyone! How are things?
Just wanted to update you on my swimming progress:
Not Michael Phelps yet but I am MUCH better than I was before. Luckily, I'm a very dedicated person and always play Brian's instructions (in my head), stroke for stroke. My breathing is better than ever before...but I gotta ask, HOW do you keep water from going up your nose and choking you?? AH, I always feel like such a putz when I end up in a coughing fit from snorting water. The burning!
So the nose breathing is one weakness...the other one would be my kicking. I usually kick my feet at the edge of the pool for a while to practise...but as soon as I start swimming, they both kind of sink. Also, I tend to curve to the left! As you can tell, this is all a total learning experience for me...but I'm determined. I swam 20 very baby laps, did 3 sets of pushups and 3 sets of tricep dips off the edge of the pool . The tricep dips were brutally hard today...I was hopeful it was because I got a good arm workout from the swim itself?
Anyway, I hope you all are enjoying your current workout routine! Anything new you wanna try?
