DRY LAND MARCH 29-APRIL 3

As we get ready to start another week, lets hope for good weather to give us a chance to get outside and go through some of your dry land routines.  Last week I spent some time watching some dry land routines from Katie Hoff on a podcast and after doing some of these, I believe it fits in with our ability level.  As we have been discussing all season  your cores are vital for developing your strokes, turns and streamline.  Let’s really on focusing in on holding those tummy’s in and keep them tight.

As you see there are 4 set.  Move through each round with no more than the built in 20 seconds rest.  At the end of set 2 you are allowed a 3 minute water break than proceed with the next round.  Treat the rounds like your swimming 3x200. The first A3 the second round A4 and the last round a strong A4 to A5.   Keep your focus going through the exercises.

Tuesday and Thursday are for any cardio work you can get in such as shuttle runs, walk run, walks with your dogs (Anna and Rebecca). Bike rides are great, anything that gets you moving.

Don’t forget to keep to your schedule and routines.  As for myself I do these dryland routines with you along with bike rides and trying to get pools up and running so they get warm and I can get in.
