I wasn't gonna swim today but did anyway. Did some 500 meters of breast stroke. 1km freestyle with fins and another with pull buoy. Both have pads on. I like having them around, the pads, fins and the pull buoy because they make my swim both easier and harder. In the end, I benefited a lot with all the lactic burn and the calorie deficit strategy I am aiming for this mission.
Why the swim was supposed to be out of the question today is the fact that I'm getting bored with it. Then, I realize there's a contest to win and I'm feeling and looking a lot better.
The effect of the weight reduction is better felt in the morning. That's when I look in the mirror and boy, do I look different??
To make it less boring today, since I can now swim continuously for a good 200 meters, that's exactly what I did. So, having to waste more time isn't the way to go but to get more laps in one go. With the pull buoy on, I can go for 500 meters non-stop. I'm still swimming the same distance a few days ago but a lot more time,
but I think this technique is more efficient and effective because you get more for less. More for cardio and endurance, but for a lesser time.
Tomorrow will be for some rehab exercises to get those rotator cuffs and elbows healthy. Will be using bands and dumbbells to get the job done and then hopefully come back stronger on Friday. Extend the distance of continuous laps to maybe 400 or more meters thereby reducing the time spent under the sun, but increase the cardio and burn more of 'em fats!
