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.
