Hi there. It's been a while since I lifted weights... (college) - and I was wondering...
Since my time is limited and I can't make multiple trips to the rec during the day, would it be smarter for me to lift before I swim or after?
What are your thoughts on a personal trainer to help get started?
I realized that I need to start lifting because of how I swam today at my meet. I've been doing some great work at practice - but I think I need a little bit of assistance.

Thanks,

hey Sarah-how did the meet go this weekend? Were there a lot of people there? I love that meet and was bummed I could not swim. I went to the dr on Friday, guess its not as bad as I thought. I have rotator cuff tendinitis in both shoulders. Im on some good anti inflamatories and have 3 weeks of physical therapy ahead of me. Thinking I will take all this week outta the water and get back in next week even though I was told to stay out. Figure I could just do some major kicking and rest the shoulders.
I honestly do not think this injury is from swimming. I think its me trying to me he-man with the weights and doing some not advisable weight exercises with the 25lb dumbells as I try and simulate the butterfly arm motion while having dumbbells. I also have same problem on treadmill where I get on that thing and somehow I think I am a marathon runner, which im not. Sometimes I guess I am a little to over zealous with things and u would think I would learn, but Im one to always push myself.
Anyways, hope to see ya in the pool next week.
