Gym, swim

This week, Tues I did gym including my first post op Stairmaster, and Wed, I swam across the lake and did some water running.   I've started doing 4 basic exercises every morning, body weight squats, pullups, pushups, and ab wheel.  In addition, reforming my diet.  

This was my gym session.  17 min on Stairmaster then some machines and core work.

17 min (20 min hill program no cool down level 12)

 

 

The water running and swimming was inaccurately measured using my watch.  Max HR was only 132.  

After swimming across the lake I did 3 x 120 strides of water running with 1 min rest.

Across lake (~175 yd)

Back across lake (~175 yd)

Definitely feel that the fat is coming off but weight is generally in the 145s.

Thurs I spent all day trying to fix the way my gutters drain and probably did more harm than good.  Anyway, it ws exhausting and risky, up and down on the step ladder with a precarious step to the roof on and off the top step.  Lucky I didn't fall.  But I got it done, and I hope it will be ok as we enter a rainy period for the next week.
