Yes, that's how I feel when there's any kickboard set. I know this kind of thing is good for me, but it's hair-tearing frustrating to do this. I know that there are techniques--kick from the hips, keep legs straight, etc. But even making my best effort at doing these things, I am beyond :frustrated: ... and it may be that as the frustration level rose, I tensed more and found it harder (telling self, "you idiot--others are doing this... why can't you?" which of course doesn't help, so I have to focus on my own workout).
Well, mostly the others are wearing fins, so that helped me somewhat to know that it wasn't just me. So I'm thinking I'll order a pair, but first two questions:
1. If you can recommend any videos or offer any tips that would help, that would be great;
2. Those who use fins: which ones have worked best for you?
Thanks for your suggestions. You could single-handedly save my kick. Is that not a good cause? ;)
I bought a pair of TYR Burners recently (reviewed at about 6:00 in the vid, "similar to zoomers, but much more comfortable"), and I'm happy with them.
LOVE these fins! :banana: I was like you, Fish, but I was determined to improve my kicking. The Burners make that process so much better, and more enjoyable. They are super soft and flexible, so it will be an easier process than it would be with a longer, stiffer pair of fins. (When I say easier, I mean less muscle stains and/or leg cramps on high intensity sets!)
