So I sound like an advertisement, but it’s true… I did a 9 minute total body workout today. I’m not kidding myself into thinking this would maintain or advance my fitness level if done on a regular basis, but some days there just isn’t much time! Today I had to prioritize my morning free hours and taxes needed to be completed, so they were. (Yay… done for another year) Then I realized I didn’t really have enough time to both get to the pool in the Presidio and practice before I picked my friend up from the airport. So I revised my plan to practice first then make use of my all-city YMCA membership and visit another pool on the way to the airport. As it turned out, my practice still got cut short after I realized I had forgotten to bring in an important tax document, but I did get out of the house about at the time planned. However, by the time I actually got to the Y and in the water, there wasn’t much time. Enter- 9 minute total body workout. I hopped in the pool and swam laps. It was a meter pool and I had about 10 minutes until I needed to be out of the water and heading to the airport.
The workout:
400 meters = 1/4 mile
easy-fast-easy swim with no break
9 minutes!
