& Swim LiveFit Week 11

Today I went swimming!

It's been a long time since I've been swimming. I originally wanted to do a triathlon on my birthday but saved when I realized that the cost of a triathlon not exactly fit with my other accounts (just learned the amount of tax I have to pay in NZ, and it's scary!). Because I didn't train for a triathlon to the pool doesn't seem attractive.

Kepa is going swimming at school as part of his course and he's been swimming a bit on his own too. He suggested that I today together with him after work so I did! I'm glad too because I forgot what I missed! Thirty minutes of swimming was a great workout and it was even fun too.

I got a bit off with my workouts this week because I missed a day and went snowboarding. That is why it took me a few extra days remaining until the end of the week. But I still did it! ;)

I've enjoyed this workout so much. Circuit training is really nice, even if it's a bummer for such small weights sometimes lifting.

Rest!

Much enjoyed this week! I'm excited to repeat next week and might actually go through it again once or twice. You know, just for fun.

My favorite was leg day. I only managed 3 rounds instead of 4, but it was good. I also enjoyed the day back. My least favorite was probably shoulders because I felt like I did the worst and was really only using light weights!

My only problem with this is the fact that my gym workouts really has spread, so it is a bit difficult to complete without walking across the gym stuff or circuits

Well I'm off to watch how to Train Your Dragon. Fun! :)
