Since I'm able to get back into regular exercise, and I'm not at the point where swimming is my primary exercise, I've been trying to incorporate walking and weight training into my program. I wonder if anyone else here has other forms of exercise they do in addition to swimming (heretical, I know). Being female and over 60, I need to pay a lot of attention to bone density and fat burn. So if anyone has suggestions on how often each week to do whatever, I'd love to hear them.:bow:
BTW I hope to make swimming my primary exercise again (it's once or twice a week now), but I need to slide into it gently so as not to have another rotator cuff flare up.
I love Sumo's Wednesdays! :lmao:
As for my routine, my Sundays look a lot like Sumo's, minus the nap. Otherwise, I swim 6x/wk followed by a 45-minute dryland routine on deck immediately after I swim. I don't lift weights, but I do use my own body weight and/or a Theraband for strengthening by doing planks, crunches, my PT exercises (for my shoulders and hip), and about 30 minutes of Power Yoga: www.amazon.com/.../ref=sr_1_6
The balance exercises have been great for strengthening the muscles and joints in my entire body, and my flexibility has improved tremendously. :agree:
