I will be swimming five days a week. I want to use the other two days for complementary non-swimming workouts. I am looking for suggestions. Being that I am out of shape the first thing that comes to mind is weight training. I could see some yoga in there as well.
Or...should I only use one day for a non-swimming workout and rest for one day?
I practice with a team 5 times a week and I like to get in at least 3 sessions of "something else" every week too. My go-to's are strength training with my TRX Suspension Trainer (uses body weight to do a variety of exercises) and strength/flexibility work with yoga. I use DVDs for my yoga practice - not ideal, but cheaper than classes by a lot.
Once or twice a year I do a "boot-camp" type class at the Y or at the park for a couple of weeks to shake things up.
I always have one day a week where I don't really do an actual workout - but I will usually go for a hike or bike ride or something casual...only bec. I'm naturally antsy.
Good luck!
