Hi everyone
Does anyone know of any dry land core strengthening exercises, mainly to help with my body rotation in freestyle, and my general stroke in butterfly.
Cheers
Andy
Sure! Here's a few of my favs. 1 - Bicycles with elbows behind head and taking shoulders toward opposite knees on the push. 2 - Medicine ball sideways throws with rotation and core bracing. 3 - Side planks, side BOSU planks. 4 - On all fours reach and crunch (extend right arm and left leg and then draw hand and bent knee in under body, crunching abdomen. Do 12 and then switch sides). 5- Ball Pass on back - pass stablity ball back and forth between hands and feet, extending arms and legs in between.
