Thank you for your video. I am 70 years old woman who had a total knee replacement in January and bad arthritis in the other knee. Is breast stroke bad for your knees? I have difficulty learning front crawl stroke. Please advise and thank you.
Hii mam Good afternoon! Mam I am 35 years old and just 4 days ago i joined swimming centre to learn how to swim however mam my body is not becoming straight till now and i am unable to stop breathing to swim and whenever I leave my hands to do swimming my self I just found my self that I am dipped in the water please suggest mam please 🙏
This is so helpful to me- I have always known how to swim ( must have started as a toddler ?) but I never got lessons or swam w a team etc - so I didn’t know how to properly crawl swim , I also bought “total immersion” book- I am now 62 and really want/need to swim correct form - I love pools , oceans lakes etc - I plan to get better until I can join masters swim ( in USA) it’s seniors that have swim teams )
I stopped all the cardio switch to slow relax walking any amount . Increased protein stopped ALL PROCESSED FOOD ! No alcohol ! I do gentle yoga and short session rebounding plus I really started to manage stress and now can walk 7-10,000 steps a day and I lift heavier weights 3 times a week 30 Minutes only . I had to change diet , sleep , stress first …..NO HRT NEEDED .
So so helpful I've been so tired and being a single mum and working it's really challenging. Glad to know that it's not only me, and I really feel for all you other ladies out there experiencing this!!❤
Well Done! I have found that Total Immersion techniques are the best. Age 50 - you are still young. Don’t highlight this number. Keep on learning the way TI teaches.
Thanks Amanda - learning at the moment and your 4 tips super helpful also going 4 times a week until you got it is a nugget as well. PS you look great too young lady :)
I am 33 and starting learning how to swim (going to my basic triaing in the navy), and the anxiety I am having is too much. Thanks for sharing. I will work on being more relaxed
One body image I have always struggled with is my legs. They are short & muscular I'm 5'4" with a 28" inseam. I've always hated my tree stump legs. That is until I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and treatment made me so weak. I was so thankful for my strong oak tree stumps. They got me around. I am now quite happy with and proud of my short legs.
Respected Amanda Ma'am, Thanks for discussion about Menopause on online CHANNEL through RU-vid, one of subscriber of your CHANNEL. I am Mihir Mohan Shyam, (the viewer & listener of your CHANNEL). So, please always consider to me.
I am 47 and it's the worst time of my life,always feeling tired fatigued nausea cramps,headaches,joint aches,sleeping less,omg caca only God knows hear.😂😂😂
Migraines, chronic fatigue for years since the curse began.. as for the body aches..doctors just dismiss it but HRT didn't work for me with the side effects.
Hi, I am having a difficult time where my legs and arms stop when I incorporate side breathing with my freestyle. I can kick and use my arms when my face is flat in the water, but everything falls apart when I turn my head to breathe. Please advise on some helpful hits. Just started swimming. Does this occur with most beginners.?
You are an inspiration, and I'm grateful to you for sharing this with the rest of us! I hope you continue to recover. We owe the Covid long-haulers much better than you've all been getting thus far. May you regain your health fully
Premarin and Prempro? Are ppl still pushing this junk. I would say a large large portion of M.Ds do not agree w those as the choice for BHRT, but I suppose its better than absolutely nothing. Allow and encourage women to understand all the science that supports both view points. Progestins are NOT progesterone. and thats just chemistry.
I’ve taken 3 6 week swimming classes throughout the years, & I’ve never been successful. My biggest FEAR is stopping and not feeling the bottom, I panic & sink. I’m 62, & I’m tired of going on vacations & not being able to swim. Suggestions??
I am 68, recovering from two surgeries and can swim “granny breaststroke” / backstroke about 700 meters in the sea. ( I live in Turkey) I am determined to learn to do front crawl so I can go further. Really struggling with the breathing but practicing and hoping for eventual success!
Thank you so much for this - it’s been a revelation to me as I’ve struggled so much and beat myself up for lacking in motivation through menopause. I feel like I can approach success well informed now and I’ve picked up my weights for the first time in over a year!! X
Iam 62 never swim before but iam so interested longtime ago never have chance to go for swimming lesson but today iam taking lesson at ymca just once a week for 30 min every Tuesday for 8 lesson next Tuesday coming is ending my last lesson but little by little got confident to the water and get better but not perfect swimmer yet not enough time my lesson need more practice in order to get better swimmer! But anyway I learned got idea the proper way to swim looking forward to build my skill in the next opportunity! It's healthy exercise🙂
