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

Thanks for all the suggestions, forgot about the ab wheel will have to get one soon as. My body rotation feels ok as does my fly undulation, but I'm trying to cut my free stroke rate down (currently a fustrating 25 per 25M) and I,m let to belive the rotation of the hips is where the power is generated, and I figure a bit of extra core strength will cause a little fatigue when doing butterfly.
I'm 35 years old, and only been swimming with proper technique for a few years (not sure if I'll make any podiums in 2012!) but I really enjoy it and am just trying to improve as much as I can.
Cheers again
