Any swimmers here? I tried swimming and it was tough. Felt great and definitely will be doing it again.
>>77546002I did it in the past. I felt so relaxed after swimming, it feels like medidating for an entiee hour, but at the same time you're working out your entire body and building cardiopulmonary capacity.Other forms of exercises can reduce stress, but the state you achieve when being submerged, not bothered by noise or people, is unparalleled.I've got to get back to swimming, but I get so fatigued from my upper body workouts that I think I would have to choose between the two...
>>77546016I know what you mean. I felt so chill after the swim, and probably had the best sleep in years. It will be tough to program. I might just commit to it for a while, and just do one upper body day a week.
>>77546002I love it and if my cold keeps going away at this pace I'm back in the pool next week. I'm by no means>a swimmerI'm just a guy who likes to swim.>>77546016>I get so fatigued from my upper body workouts that I think I would have to choose between the twoThere are lifting programs that are adapted to do together with sports. I do Tactical Barbell and swim on upper days in an ULUL split plus one extra time per week. Just think of swimming as active rehab instead of a thing you have to get really good at, then in time you can shift your goals depending on the circumstances. The cardio from swimming has helped me immensely with my running, plus the relaxation aspect, as you've already mentioned.
>>77546060It's relaxing, but also stimulating at the same time. Just feels good to be in water.I'm think of experimenting with swimming and kbs. Just alternate days or something. I'm thinking about taking up cross country skiing this winter, so that could be a potent mix.
>>77546002swimming is awesome but i don't want to pay entry fee every time i want to do cardio, that would add up quick for a poorfag.i wear cheap running shoes and have a used bike that will last for decades.
>>77546002Good shit. Really good exercise and a good skill as well. And its fun going to the pool. Its a nice break in the routine.
No one swims? Definitely a brown board now
>>77546002It's best to avoid absorbing tap water and chlorine into the body.
>>77547864Cancer survivor immune system?
>>77547877>my immune system is so strong bro i can eat mcdonalds all day and nothing happens bro
>>77547880Turn your monitor on
>>77548007>he doesn't understand analogiesThis brain was destroyed from all that chlorine and tap water.
There's a pond/lake near my house, should I just jump in and start going from one end to the other?
>>77548100Hell yeah dude
I used to be on swim team in grade school. Hadn't swam for cardio in 10 years until last week! Was pretty fun, but way harder on my rear delts than I recall. Only did about 1mi, 3x500yd @ 8:00 interval, averaged about 1:20/100yd. Gonna swim again tmw
>>77548100Looks beautiful there, why not?
Swimming is best cardio and swimming buttetfly is the end goal.As someone who lifts and swims it's always fun the DYEL swimming team.
The only lane pool near me is also a hotspring and theres always brown niggers in the pool, fully grown men wearing life jackets clogging up the lanes. have to go earlty moring before the niggers wake up
>>77546002Ive been going three days a week. Really enjoy it but its really tiring as well.
BUMP
yeah, about an hour a day five days a week. does a great job keeping turbonerd atrophy at bay.
>>77546002Why is swimming so fucking expensive
>>77552960Keep the proles out, of course
>>77552960lake is free and annual pool pass for me is $250get your money up
>>77546002It is the best form of fitness but pools are so disgusting. Swimming in the sea is legit i guess but risky
>>77553157My pool is essentially empty of lane swimmers, so ti not that bad. The children are kept to their own shallow piss pool, and the thirdies are kept to their hot tub piss pools. I have never seen a brown skin swim lengths lol
>>77553157>riskyWhat exactly are you worried about?
>>77546002I do it because I hope to get a competitive swimmer gf one day
Love swimming too man, shit is fun as fuck. I love pushing myself to the absolute limits when going on laps and feeling that burn in my boy and lungs.
>>77554471body*.
>>77552960>6 euros for 2 hours is expensive
>>77554471*looks at picture*hell yeah
>>77546002Swimming is great. Finding a quiet place to swim with free lanes is a challenge, but like the others said you can slip into a really relaxing state while working out.
