Swimming & 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 bailed when I realized the cost of a triathlon didn’t exactly fit in with my other bills (just learned the amount of tax I have to pay in NZ and it’s scary!). Since I didn’t have a triathlon to train for going to the pool didn’t seem appealing.

Kepa has been going swimming at school as part of his course and he has been swimming a bit on his own as well. Today he suggested I join him after work so I did! I’m glad too because I forgot what I was missing! 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. Because of that it took me a couple extra days to finish the week. But I still did it! ;)

I enjoyed these workouts so much. Circuit training is really fun even if it’s a bummer to be lifting such small weights at times.

Enjoyed this week a lot! I’m excited to repeat next week and actually might 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 back day. My least favorite was shoulders probably because I felt like I did the worst and was only using really light weights!

My only problem with these workouts really is the fact that my gym has stuff spread out so it’s a bit hard to do full circuits without walking across the gym or

Well I’m off to watch How To Train Your Dragon. Fun! :)
