Way cool findings !!

 How snazzy are these two little lunch containers !!?!?!?  Portion control - make it yourself - love it !  check out www. fit-fresh.com  for these and others containers.  Very cool !

Also - as I need to work on the whole swim thing... and so many people are on holiday or going on a vacation (spring break is right around the corner people !).  Most hotels have pools...  this is a brilliant little plan,  and who cares if people look at you like your a goober... happens to me all the time !

Swim Drills

Unlike running and cycling, swimming is less about force and more about form, technique and body-positioning. Performing drills in the water will help you swim more efficiently.  

Catch Up Begin floating forward, on your stomach, with both arms outstretched in front of your body. Start your stroke (catch and pull) with the right arm and keep your left arm outstretched in front. After your right arm comes back to where it started, outstretched and in front of your body, count off two seconds before pulling your left arm through. Repeat. 

This drill is called catch up because you don't pull through until your one arm catches up to the other in front of your head. It is an exaggerated movement to keep you from pulling too soon during your swim stroke. During your normal stroke, your catch and pull should not begin with one arm until your other arm has recovered past your head (or just prior to it entering the water in front of your head).

One Arm The name of this drill explains it all. Pull yourself across the length of the pool using only one arm. Keep the other arm outstretched in front of your head, floating on top of the water.

Side Kick Often we see people kicking hundreds of meters using a kickboard during their workouts. That's not a bad way to improve your kick and strengthen your core, but if you have proper form and body positioning, your kick will rarely be flat on top of the surface as it is with a kickboard. Alternate kickboard kicking with side-kicking, again with one arm outstretched in front of you and while on your side. Remember to kick on both sides.
