Finally got back into the gym. I blame my lack of exercise on my travel schedule but that is a weak excuse.
Went to the nearest YMCA which was surprisingly good. Newish, clean and not too crowded at noon on a Sunday.
I am rehabbing a shoulder impingement from last winter's swimming season, so taking it easy. I did some machines with light weight, focusing on shoulder and rotator cuff. Then I did some time on a stationary bike, followed by a short swim to see how my shoulder felt. Some popping and crunching, but no pain.
I will stay with this schedule and slowly increase the pool yardage. My preferred workout is 1-1.5 miles in the pool. It will take some time before I get back to that distance.
