Weekly Workout 02/10/2020

New Week...

My hip is definitely getting stronger. I cant wait to see what my Hip Doctor says on Feb 18th. Hopefully I am cleared to go back to running.

Monday-rehab day..stretching, some weights, and stupid planks..lol

Tues, Thurs and now Saturday-Swim 1 mile..got my time down to 41 minutes..trying to get in to below 40...swimming is so technical..you improve one thing and it helps cut time off..its just so much to think about in the water.. (***Edit***--so today (Thursday) didn't work out so good..yesterday I was doing squats on a machine, and Im short so I have to stand up on my tippy toes or go way down to put the bar back on the rack..well I stood up and thought the bar was in the rack so I stepped up..yep, it wasn't..straight down on my lower back..so today I just sat in the hot tub and steam room at the gym..ughhh)

Wed and Friday-Elliptical, stationary bike, weighted squats, lunges and other leg workout

Sunday-35 min elliptical, 15 min bike, 1 mile swim and leg workout..try to kill it for 3 hours on Sunday afternoon..

Awesome how you have everything already planned out! Keep it up and keep moving!

Dee are you exercising?

Minimally! BUT moving when I can! I have fibromyalgia so some days are better than others. I don't have a local pool I can go to (would love that) and it's too cold to go out walking so I run around with my kids and pups in our back yard

Well, anything you can do is more than nothing. We use to have more people posting here but lately its just been me and Highland...

So, just post what you do...I find its a good way to keep myself accountable. If I say Im going to put 35 minutes on the elliptical, then I make myself do it..

Thats why I post on Monday to give myself a plan for the week..but, we also revise our plan if LIFE just gets in the way.

But we are happy to have you here.

Ok I am jealous of your swim time. Have you ever thought of joining a master swim. You learn a lot and helps to improve your swim.

Monday master swim and strength training

Tue. tabata on the bike

Wed swim 60 minutes

thursday run

Friday strength training

Saturday run

Sunday rest

We have a Master Swim class at the gym but I just took on a second job (tax season) and I just dont have time right now to do it.

Hit 41:20 today..just cant break the 41 barrier..I dont do flip turns and my form is normally all over the place so thats, Im sure, why I barely get any faster.
