The past few months I’ve done exercise but not really documented it. I’ve been going to the gym more in May than I have all the previous months and been trying swimming more.
I started soon after easter near the end of April to go swimming more than the gym and lazing in the pool. I chose to try and swim for a set amount of time and increase it gradually over the weeks.
Basically
- Week 1: 5 minutes
- Week 2: 5 minutes
- Week 3: 10 minutes
- Week 4: 10 minutes
- Week 5: 20 minutes
- Week 6: 20 Minutes
I’ve have been trying to increase the time by around 5 minutes every 5th time i’ve gone. But at 20 minutes I’m having difficulty to keep going and so staying there until slightly comfortable and I feel I can push myself further.
I don’t swim constantly – I stop and catch my breath then keep going or switch to float for a bit but do keep going. I’d like to get up to 30 minutes of comfortable constant swimming and think i’ll get there over time.
Other stuff I’ve done: Salsa Dance, started running a bit more, walking places near by instead of driving and attempted some things on a bike.
Overall not really done much but I’m getting there slowly.
