Got in the pool to go swimming today. Really nice. Took half an hour. 5 minutes of treading water. Did 10 laps. First five breaststroke, next five laps were doing combinations. Mostly just backfloat. Really paid attention to the angle of my hips in the water. Naturally more comfortable to rotate my hips out as opposed to in. With my back, kind of experimenting with how it feels in different positions especially in relation to my pelvis and hips. In the water it was relatively pain free. The only sharp jab that I would feel is if I twisted wrong and put pressure on the lower back. So for example, if I'm laying on my back, and let gravity pull my legs to the side with my knees bent, if that's too sudden or too hard that's really still tender. On a pain scale, I'd call it a 7 or 8 that jabbing. Really want to make sure my muscles continue to relax and I work on that range of motion progressively and not force it. Tomorrow I'll get back in the gym. Most of what I've done this week is pretty simple. That will probably the theme the next week and half. Doing a lot of the same motions and adding a little variation. A lot of it is in the hips and mid riff section. I just want to continue to respect the recovery that's taken place, but not move too fast here. Looking forward to a good workout in the morning and enjoy the weekend.
