Day 084 - 1-rep maximum; swimming fartlek

15-minute strength-training routine (level 1) and 15-minute interval (IN) swim (level 4)        Training via ActiveMail

YOU HAVE TWO WORKOUTS FOR TODAY. FOR WORKOUT 1, DO 15 MINUTES OF STRENGTH (ST) TRAINING. Spend your gym time finding your new 1-rep max for each exercise. You should be stronger than you were weeks ago. Gradually increase the weight until you can only do one repetition with good form; don't cheat the exercise. See how far you have progressed in 12 weeks -- you should be pretty impressed with yourself! WORKOUT 2: DO 15 MINUTES OF SWIMMING INTERVAL TRAINING AT LEVEL 4 INTENSITY (80-90% of MHR): Warm up for 10-15 minutes with easy to moderate swimming. Do this swim session as a fartlek workout: go hard when you want, easy (use an alternate stroke) when you want. Make it fun; race somebody. Cool down for 10 minutes with some easy swimming, focusing on backstroke and breaststroke.
