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
Yoga.
I recently started doing some poses I found in a book. I thought it would help my swimming and it does, I think. Some require flexibility or balance, and some need tremendous core strength and stability to maintain, like the peacock. Here you basically hold yourself in the horizontal plank position, but only the hands support your weight, rest of your body is in the air. I can only hold for 15 seconds before I loose balance or stamina.
