So after a wonderful weekend, I got up this morning for my first swimming workout!!!! I am definitely still a failure but it was so much fun. Kurt took me through a little of swimming 101, but I just need to get comfortable. There was no real workout this morning, just swimming laps, right now I can barely survive a lap!!!! Wanted to learn how to flip turn, but always ended up just flipping and not hitting the wall!! It is weird to be wearing good enough goggles that I can trust them to keep the water out!! I am still closing my eyes more than necessary!! Despite the lack of plan it was definitely a workout!! I was so tired afterwards!!
Unfortunately, our professor for the week has a urinary tract infection and was unable to lecture, this resulted in us having the afternoon off!! So after some volleyball that resulted in me getting burnt :( Kurt and I went to the gym. I did not have a plan for the day so I decided I would tag along with him. I really love learning new exercises and trying new things so it was fun! Today was a shoulder day for him, so now my shoulders are pretty sore! We did a whole bunch of stuff!! shoulder shrugs, military press, these strange things where you put weight under ur legs while sitting on the end of the bench and pull it up til it hits ur legs (apparently I can lift more than the other TA!! hahaha!!!!!) Then we did a circuit that included shoulder series work with light weights, bar rows, standing military press, somethings kinda like flys but on your stomach and pull ups. For the most part I did 3 sets of 10, there were a few where I did not quite hit it though. It was a great arm workout, but because the exercises were new I did not quite no what weights I need to be lifting.
Overall it was a great day! Much more relaxing with plenty of time to get done all that I needed to. Some crazy stuff is happen in the next few days, so we will see!
