THE DRY SIDE

As all of us work through this bump in the road, it looks like we have one of two choices.  The first is  we can choose to stay inside and do nothing or we can choose to do something that will help us when we get back in the pool.  For the time being I will start posting some dry land routines that you can do    in your backyards, maybe even a park.  The benefits of a dry land program is that it’s portable and can be done anywhere, it improves flexibility, coordination, and improves breathing efficiency.

We don’t want to do the same routine in consecutive days and let’s see if we can do a routine 5 days in a row.  My challenge to you all is to see how many dry land sessions you are able to complete until we get back into the pool.  I have made up a chart with all your names on it and am working on a way so that you can get it to me.  It would be great if you can share your pictures with the group, just send them and I’ll get them posted.
