Feeling a small sense of accomplishment

[sinisterporpoise]

Despite having my funds nearly drained, I renewed my Y membership yesterday.  I went into the pool for a while and took some swimming. I also just took some time to soak in the heated pool. Muscles felt much better afterwards, and this feeling continued to today.  Because I was feeling better, I decided to see if I could handle the exercise bike again. I did not do the cardio workout, but put it on fat burn and set it for 25 minutes, with the caveat that if the pain got too bad i would get off.   I made it 22 minutes.

Now, I'll have to see if I can work more parts of my old workout routine into my fitness regimen. I'm going to keep swimming in it though.

That's awesome! :) (smilie) I'm so glad swimming felt good and that you were able to work out for that long. I so very much need to get back to the gym myself, but my energy is still pretty shot after all the turmoil in my life over the past several months.

By the way, in case this is something they might offer at your Y, did you know that many YMCAs have scholarships for people low on funds?

I just hope the muscles stay that way for a while. I'll think I'll keep some form of water exercise in my regimen though.

I knew about the scholarships, and I applied for one when I opened the membership there last year. I doubt I'd be able to afford a gym membership to any of the for-profit gyms in the area, especially since the nearest Planet Fitness is sixty miles away.

Awesome. I'm glad to know that. :) (smilie)
