Hello! Managed 40 lengths of breast stroke today in my 45 mins swim :eek: My technique is improving everythime which is helping me to swim further. I have a q though. Im starting to get achy in my upper arms. Is there any warm up/cool down that I should be doing (or stretches?)

Mega busy tomorrow but WILL do my aqua class in the evening

Yes!! You wanna do a little neck stretch...bending your head to the left and to the right. Shoulder curls, basically rotating your shoulders with your arms down by your sides a bit. Then you want to windmill your arms. Then you wanna stretch the arms. Then do your legs. Probably a video on swimming stretches on youtube. Then repeat at the end. Start with a warm up and a cool down!! I'd do 4-6 warm up lengths. Then 4-6 cooldown where i just lazily swam!

Good work on the 40 lengths!! I need to sort my pubes out else i'd go swimming more often!

Lol! Any excuse eh!:p

Thanks for this. I am going to definately do some of these stretches (in my changing cubicle). These are great AND Ill check out you tube as you suggest. Im seizing up all around my neck and shoulders tonight so thats definately the area I need to warm up/cool down at least.

So according to my calculations that means I have finally hit my target weight loss of 8 stone :j:j:j

According to my BMI I am still overweight

How tall are you as 8stones seems very tiny to me :T:T:T Very well done:D. Hopefully, in the next couple of months, all things being equal, I'll be joining you in saying "I've finally hit my target" :j

Alliwant has lost 8 stone: she actually weighs more than 8 stone:D
Yup - well done alliwant - staggering achievemnt. And it is great to hear you are not resting on your laurels, and know that keeping it off is the next challenge (that you will suceed in)

Beanie - more cycling! Looking good from the sofa.

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I see. I thought her target weight was 8 stones which she has now hit and wondering why her BMI would still be overweight :eek:

Alliwant - do you want me to move you to the maintainers area of the chart?

Congratulations to our SoTW hamish222.

Well done to all our losers and stsers this week, and commiserations to the gainers - pick yourself up and carry on - next week can be a better week for you.

Here's the chart for this month's M v F challenge:



A provisional congrats to the women's team - I'm still waiting for 1 member from each team to let me know their starting weights so until I have those I will declare a provisional win.


Here's this weeks update on the Marathon Challenge:



Well done to everyone participating - whether you are a foil blanket supervisor or a water bottle distributor or a runner or biker.
