Looks promising. After a shitty year with terrible hips pain (doctors said it was about muscles pinching a nerve) daily swimming has made the pain completely disappear. Motorbike riding and now some kettlebells exercises are doing the same for the long term rotator cuff problem.
I'm in my better shape in the last 30 years, maybe in my entire life. The most surprising thing is how simple, cheap and little time consuming it's been. Compared to gym subscription, the swimming pool, rubber mat and couple of kettlebells are spare change.
- lmz 22d agoSurely that's swimming pool fees or subscription? I can't imagine having your own pool is cheaper than a gym subscription.
- narag 22d agoPublic pool, city owned. August daily was less than 1€/day. Now I'm taking classes (my style... has room for improvement) not sure about the price for the winter months, but it's subsidized so not very high. TBH, gyms have lower prices now over here. You can find a decent subscription for 30€/month, half of what used to be. But they're overcrowded. For me the main factor is time. I end up wasting a lot of time waiting for a free spot or shower, changing clothes, etc. Training at home is much simpler. Combined with a couple of days out swimming or running, a better solution, for me anyway. Edit: between my previous comment and this one, I've completed my daily home routine :-)
