Workout 1

Workout 1 The most obvious 30-minute workout one can do is the 30-minute swim for distance. With such limited time, you may opt to cover as much yardage as humanly possible and swim laps nonstop. As brainless as this sounds, it is actually an opportunity for you to test your endurance and gauge your fitness level. If you can swim a mile, or 1,500 meters, in a half-hour, then push yourself to manage 1,600 meters in the same amount of time. Also pay attention to when you start to feel fatigued, and try ?negative splitting? your 30 minutes the next time you hit the pool. Holidays or not, I would recommend getting into the habit of doing this drill once a month. You will be surprised at how well you will become attuned to your body (you will know your off days and your good days and even be able to predict your pacing without looking at the clock). It is also a great way to burn calories with a concise aerobic workout and cover yardage you would normally need more time to complete.
