Re: Any suggestions on how to resume physical activity
Hey Swim Happy
Glad to hear that you are swimming. I swam competitively from age 6 to age 20 and then wrecked my arm when I was 22. I took a 16 year break from swimming but got back in the pool about 6 weeks ago and have been swimming 3 mornings a week. I love it. It is amazing exercise. I feel more fit, more energy and have dropped a few pounds as well.
I was hesitant at first because I thought that I would need to strap my arm in but thearm stays right with me - no issues. In fact, I am working my bicep more to keep it stabilized as I swim.
I had been roller blading but wiped out a few too many times and broke my injured arm saeveral times and my good arm 3 times. After the last wipe out, my wife said no more...
