This morning I joined my friend and co-worker Judy at a cardio kickboxing class at La Jolla Sporting Club. I am becoming increasingly fit and it still kicked my butt. Outstanding workout, plus it was fun and something different. Think I'll be making it a regular part of my routine...although there is one thing I'd like to remedy. I was sweating so much, I almost slipped and fell doing kicks because my sweat pool made the floor quite slippery. Not quite sure how to fix that problem.
The other item I've added to my routine is swimming. I swam laps on Wednesday night. Unfortunately I learned that my high tech Garmin heartrate monitor that accompanies the Garmin Forerunner 50 is not waterproof. What kind of allegedly "high tech" training gear is that, Garmin? What serious athlete hasn't done at least one triathlon? That was a $40 lesson I won't forget.
Quick takeaway: swimming is pretty tough. I set the goal of swimming 30 minutes. The first time I checked my watch (huffing and puffing I might add) was exactly 3:44 into the workout. I have some work to do if I'm going to become a triathlon-er. However, I did get a new suit and goggles so I should be a bit more comfortable next time I swim.
