1-27-12 Aqua Zumba Take Two

I decided to try Aqua Zumba again.  I was pretty sore from the workouts earlier in the week, but thought it would be okay.  The regular instructor, Amber, was out and we had a sub.  The sub didn't have experience, so we did what she could remember, and what we could remember from previous classes... It wasn't much like the other class, but it was still a good workout!

Split Time Summary 17:37.1 1 1:04.5 2 1:15.0 3 1:14.5 4 1:13.4 5 1:17.7 6 1:14.6 7 1:20.7 8 1:23.0 9 1:25.1 10 1:09.1 11 1:11.8 12 1:14.8 13 1:16.1 14 1:16.9

Swimming, I was a little sore so at lap 7 I switched to breast stroke, then back to freestyle at 10.  No legs on any of the freestyle laps.
After swimming we did a Legs and Shoulders lift day.

1-25-12 Swim and Lift

Another day of forgetting to wear my watch, but I swam about 10 laps, in about 12 minutes or so.  Then we did back and bicept lifting.

Lift and Cardio 1-23-12

We did a chest and tricept lifting day and 15 minutes on the bike.  Not a lot to report, I was too late to get into the pool :(
I also forgot to wear my watch, so I don't have the record of it.  I'm getting stronger each week.  I'm up to free weight benching 35 pounds. We also did decline bench presses, which were very difficult!

Skiing!

On Sunday I got to go skiing for the first time in 3 years!  We went to visit my brothers family in Wenatchee, Washington and Jason took me skiing at Mission Ridge.  The snow wasn't that great, but I sure enjoyed my brother sister time!  I also got the opportunity to test out Sport Tracker on my phone.  Pretty neat!  The first graph is the first part of the day with me on skis and Jason on a snowboard, the second is both of us on skis.

Aqua Zumba!

On Friday  the thirteenth I tried Aqua Zumba and it was pretty fun.  It was easier than land Zumba {I think} and it felt like a workout.  I will probably try it again.  :)

1-12-12 Swim and Lift

Today I swam 10 laps then did lifting, a back and biceps day.   For the swimming I did all 10 laps freestyle and it felt pretty good.  my splits were: 1.05, 1.11, 1.15, 1.17, 1.18, 1.16, 1.19, 1.15, 1.16, 1.16 so pretty even.  I'm going to work up to 16 laps by the end of January (16 laps is 1/2 mile or race distance), and then work on speed.  I'd like to get up to 25 comfortable freestyle laps at one time.

1-11-12, Swim and Lifting

I swam 11 laps before we moved on to lifting weights, I split up my strokes, but I can't remember what order I did them... weights were good, we did a chest and triceps day.

Update... 1-7-12

Went to the gym on Thursday as was planned.  Then went back on Saturday for another lifting day.  Long story short, I tipped one of the weight plates over on my leg and it HURTS!
Also, FINALLY got my watch back working again and can upload my summaries.

Zumba

I'm getting a little better at the Kinect Zumba... it isn't as intimidating as it once was, although I still find myself laughing and having to stop to figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Anyways, that was yesterday and today I'm off to get in the pool to swim, really swim, for the first time since the race last July... and then do a little weights.

Happy 2012

Hmmm... it's the 3rd already!
Took a couple days off of working out to take down the Christmas decorations and play with the kiddos!  Today I did my Kinect Zumba and we may go to the gym later... It wasn't my idea to go today, I want to go tomorrow but due to scheduling conflicts...
On another note, I haven't made my list of resolutions for this year, or made my budget...  Lots to do!
