C2, 8904m, 2:34.8, 20spm; base, i.e., < 70% HR reserve. Still working on posture, but I'm again trying to make sure I get 10m+ per stroke, at least. Why? Teaches patience. Boats like patience. 😉 Rest day scheduled tomorrow.

15mins low impact cardio. I know its not much for you all but I'm just starting out. I'm 42yrs old, 5'1" 162lbs. I am needing to lose weight but plan to keep exercising after I lose my weight so that I can be healthy to see my grand babies get married.
Sw: 167lbs
Cw: 162lbs

To me, that sounds perfect.

A gradual on-ramp to increased fitness, then keeping it manageable but always just a small challenge: IMO, that's the smart route.

I think too many people do some impractical "zero to sixty, let's go to the gym 2hrs/7days" approach, and burn out - too big a jump, doesn't accommodate to a balanced life. You're doing it right.

And it'll be fun, chasing your *great*-grand babies around, playing tag'n'stuff. Meanwhile, keep checking in here!

1700 meters outdoor pool
53 mins.
1 app says 996 calories burned. Another says 694. Go figure.
Swimming was my favorite until I picked up rollerblading again recently. I burn 1/3 more calories for the same amount of time swimming.
I have serious back issues (2 spine surgeries),so I mix things up )swimming, blading, walk-running and some lifting.
My short-term goal is to drop 25 pounds in the next 2 months or so.

I started running again recently, and noticed that not running, but spending a lot of time hiking and cycling kept me kind of fit. Earlier this year I needed nearly a month to go from 5km to 4 miles. This time I just ran three 5ks, and then a day later 4 miles. It just worked. And the 4 miler was faster than the previous 5k. Have to say that I'm still the slowest runner around, but ho hum...

I'm currently working on a running badge for which I need runs on 10 successive days. Stupid? Yeah. But I'm already at 8 days now. Some days were super short, but I still made it count because I wrecked myself on the first few meters

Btw, if someone wants to try smashrun, please feel free to use my referral. I don't get anything other than maaaybe another badge. https://en-gb.smashrun.com/nina.lili/invite yeah, so it looks like badges keep me motivated

I did an hour of yoga before lunch.

In the evening, I did upper body lifts.

I started off with hangboarding. This was pretty good - my finger strength was good.

I then benched 55 kgs for 2 sets of 10.
I did loads of dips.
I did weighted pull ups, getting plus 22.5 kgs.
I finished up with military press, doing 35 kgs for 2 sets of 10.

Great running! I'm a runner too, streaking Day #6 so I definitely do not think consecutive days are stupid, not at all. I was scheduled to run Austin Marathon on 2/14 and it was changed to a Half with a different date or you can defer to another year, but anyone who signed up to run the Marathon also got 6 free virtual races. So no, I think what you're doing is pretty cool! You need to stay motivated! I'll check it out and if it's free, I'll probably give it a shot!

Wow, nice! I could never run a marathon or a half due to a particularly nasty dysautonomia (get in the flow and relax, hr drops by up to 20bpm, me: I need air!!!) and generally poor energy accessibility). But I still enjoy my shorter, slow runs.
