That's because there's so much besides weights and reps.
Thanks John(and Juggler!)
June 25
Pool:
- 12 x 50m (25m freestyle + 25m backstroke). I have breathing issues, I think I have asthma?I do fine exhaling inside the water, but then I never can time my inhales correctly, one of these days I'm gonna choke on a big gulp of chlorine water and embarass myself. But no....
- 10 x 50m backkicking with no arms (and no board)
- 6 x 50m forward kickboards
Isos:
- About half hour of rebound reps (these take less time than the holds, cause I count reps - 50 for each exercise)
Realization of the day!
- Despite the breathing deficiency, I noticed that when you swim and nobody ever has showed you how to swim correctly, you really don’t need one to tell you how… Swimming is a natural human instinct, babies know that... I think humans have stopped using their brain because all the information that we need is out there for us, and we’re too lazy to look within. We can pretty much react to ANYTHING, as long as we embody with the experience and feel every particle around us.
And I'm not talking about doggy-swimming... I'm talking about swimming in an efficient way.
After realizing this today, there were times when I was able to suddenly relax my “naturally occurring” tension in water, and before I knew it, I was half way across the pool, and doing 6 strokes for every breath, nicely enjoying my time under there, and "listening" to what was going on... (me gasping for air)
- And I think I have finally figured out the efficient way of kicking. Maybe one day I'll put it all together and call myself a swimmer?
Question:
- Can one go blind from swimming too much in chlorine water w/out goggles? What are the side effects? (I don’t like my goggles… my eyelashes keep hitting the plastic when I blink and it’s uncomfortable… I've tried 2 pairs. I know I have issues !)
P.S. Germany against Turkey coming up in Euro
Clap clap, good luck in the final !Come on Stefanie, they are just cadgers, the first 89 minutes of every game they show a boring game and then they always have luck and score...
Germany will do it!
But you can't say Turkey showed a boring game on this one.... yes?
i wouldn't worry too much about the chlorine. i spent pretty much my entire childhood underwater with my eyes open (hated goggles), and okay so far.
Much chlorine can give you respiratory problems, caution.
Really? How do swimmers deal with that?
Thanks Jami.
Yuheeeeee phenomenalClap clap, good luck in the final !
But you can't say Turkey showed a boring game on this one.... yes?

ps: No I can't say
I think if Spain wins today, I'm with Spain, but if Russia wins today, I'm with you !Yuheeeeee phenomenal
We have to win now...
ps: No I can't say
But I'll let you know for sure after today, I need to make more observations, hehe...
