HI Rosa,
thanks for your note.
Could you use your swimming sessions to add some of our Get Thin Get Eaten style training in?
By this I mean a short burst (about 20 s) of fast swimming or moving, followed by a rest. Then repeat a total of 8 times.
This should be ok for you however let me know what you think and we can work from there.
Thanks again for connecting….Brian
THANK Y BRIAN.I WILL START TODAY AND LET Y KNOW.HAVE A NICE DAY
I thought this was a really good “hang out!” It was nice to do a Work In with you. Thank you!
Hi Jean,
Glad you enjoyed this class!

Hey Brian. Great shows, for years I used to stretch cold muscles. But recently (2yrs ago) I was told this is bad. I was told that when working out, one should lightly warm up by moving around, then perform the workout, and ultimately stretch during the cool down phase. And just like you said for 50-120 sec until the muscle releases. Do you have any thoughts on this?
Bill
Hi Bill,
best to do stretches when the muscles are warm however stretching will warm the muscle anyway.
The point is with stretching is not to take the muscle to a degree where it feels a sharp pain, this is bad regardless of if the muscle is warm or not.
Hold the stretch at a mild degree of discomfort and relax in the pose for really as long as you can.
Hope that helps Bill.
