I am training for a *** stroke event. I am not that good at it even though I have made a lot of progress. Everytime I kick I feel like I can't kick hard enough, if I kick harder than I ususally do, my hips and thigh joints start hurting, maybe I just need to stretch more. I also feel like I'm slowing down alittle everytime I kick, instead of flowing through. Do I have to push my arms forward when I kick?
It's hard to know what the problem is without seeing your stroke,but your last question may be a clue. You want your arm recovery to be very quick so that you are nearly streamlined at the very beginning of the kick and completely streamlined by the power part of your kick.If you do you should be able to "ride the glide" for one second without slowing down.
