A Swimming Fart or Down goes preach.

Geezo, I worked up the nerve to go into the pool this morning, it was 90 and air temp was 85 so it felt nice. I had a binder on. The docs gave me the good ahead to jump in. I did my regular walking around but then I decided to go into the deep end, geez, treading water and fighting to stay afloat, my innards were tightening - yowza. When I was fat - I just kinda floated along. hee hee hee

Best Wishes, BobM.

Good job. Just remember to take it slow at first.

Bob, Glad to hear you're in the water and working out. It's true, once bodyfat decreases, you have to depend more on hand action and getting that stream of water flowing underneath you to keep you up. The innards tightening is proof that you were working your core muscles. These are required to maintain a stable body position in the water. I alternate between freestayle and backstroke for a good variety of lower back and abdominal work. The two are completely different in the areas of the trunk worked.

Best Wishes,

Dave

Congrats! Glad you're able to get some exercise. Take it easy and don't overdo it!

I'v been a scuba diver since 1979 .
I haven't had the chance to go diving as cycling is my newest love in my life . I can't wait to go though . One does not have to be able to float to enjoy scuba diving . It might work out better now that I think about it . LOL  Enjoy your new found skinnyness !!!

 

Best wishes
