Hello everyone! I have decided to really get back into competing. I was wondering if any of you would offer some advice on workouts for someone who is VERY out of shape and slightly overweight:blush:. I have pretty much 24hr access to a pool (I'm a YMCA employee plus I coach the Y team). It's funny how I can create a whole season of workouts for my team but I can't do it for myself! I just feel like I don't know where to start! Help! Thank you! :):):):)
I think as soon as a swimmer's blood mutates into chlorine, age and most "old age" health issues arise, we convince ourseves: "the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak" There three keys I have found to returning to the pool - 36 years after college, and being diagnosed with a terminal disease:
1. You know you miss that chlorine scent.
2. When you began, you stunk then also
3. You can over come anything with a positive mental attitude.
The key is believing in YOURSELF and YOUR PERSISTENCE! Dive in and join me in breaking records- even if 1 day we swim more lap than yesterday! No gold was ever won without persistent perseverance!
