I try and swim 3x a week, at our local leisure centre, have built it up to swimming 8 50m laps and walking 12 laps. I find the pool at home to small and now to cold much better for summer lazing with a G & T.

Went to the pool this morning and did some walking and exercise in the pool while DH swam laps. It felt good and met a nice lady to chat to while walking and jogging in the water.😃😃

Might try and fit a swim in later. Good out door pool 10 miles away. Sunny today - pool 30'.

Yup managed a good 30 minute swim of continuous widths. I like widths as I only breathe at each end and just head down and swim across. Had to wait to cross those doing lengths, but then had pool to myself!!

Plus 2 x 5 on rebounder. Just as well as not able to exercise today all.  Lots of driving today.

It doesn't seem to change my weight but improves fitness, muscle tone and I feel better for it. The endless bugs and lack of activity in the winter took a toll.
Since we are returning to our much more active lifestyle in about two weeks I felt it imperative to try to work up slowly to prevent injury etc .

I really feel an improvement and recommend everyone to try if they can. I know Amy would agree.

Yes Jess, I am going to move my trainer in front of the spare TV,  for when I watch my Cooking shows...

Hopefully that will help me for at least 30 minutes a day :D

25 mins swimming non stop today. The pool was cooler so missed off my last 5 mins. Figured 25 mins good enough and better than nothing.
Rebounding later in socks. Not walking far today as had sore soles of feet last night from the races!

Swim again thurs and/or fri.
