- musha68k 10y agoSwimming - hated it back in school, started to love it five years ago during a very stressful time in my life. Peace and meditation is what it mostly does for me. If you are interested do yourself a favor and check out the book "Total Immersion" by Terry Laughlin. I wish had started to read it earlier - a total game changer for me, none of the "no-pain-no-gain" bullshit. I swear I've been having almost instant results, passing by most "better trained" swimmers with blissful ease, it really is unfair ;) Essentially it's about hacking swimming by seriously getting into the physics of the sport. Highly recommended! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_Immersion https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_Immersion https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/936958.Total_Immersion https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/936958.Total_Immersion
- fapjacks 10y agoSwimming is a fantastic suggestion and I wholeheartedly agree with it. I'd also recommend weightlifting as a great companion regimen.
