Prison Quality Fitness: Learning to swim...again.

 

Well, today was the first day back in the gym. Limited to only 10 laps of non-vigorous swimming, but, hey, a start is a start. Swimming felt pretty good, although my left arm is still gimped up, and could barely manage the overarm stroke in freestyle. Breaststroke was easier, but the chest felt a little sore and tight muscle-wise. 10 laps went by fast, and even doing most of them via freestyle, still didn't feel the heart rate raise too much. Actually was surprised at how good the heart felt- it was  the rest of the body that seemed to give out on me.

Have to take a break of at least one day between swimming per my cardiologist, with an addition of up to 5 laps at each session, so lets see how this goes.
