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

I do yoga most weeks, for about 90 minutes. It depends on when I go but it is Ashtanga or Vinyasa. It took me a while to be convinced that it was worth forgoing a swim session for (it still might not be for performance, but for my general health and wellbeing I think it is) and it doesn't work any specific muscles that intensely, so you can be fooled into thinking it's not a workout, but I really value it now. I gain both in flexibility and core strength, though the flexibility focuses much more on legs and hips than shoulders.
