  • I would like to incorporate swimming into my physical activity routine. Swimming offers a full-body workout and is both enjoyable and effective. For my schedule, I've found that early mornings before starting my day work best for me. I plan to swim for about 45 minutes to an hour, at least three times a week. To guide my swimming sessions, I'll primarily rely on a fitness app designed for swimming. This app can help me track my progress, set goals, and provide structured workouts.

    • For training, I like to listen to rock. Here are some songs that are on my playlist:
     1."American Idiot" - Green Day
    2."Boulevard of Broken Dreams" - Green Day
    3."Wake Me Up When September Ends" - Green Day
