Hello everyone! I, like many others, am getting back into swimming after taking about 5 years off. I swam distance in high school and joined masters in college. Through those years, I religiously flip turned during each workout/race. Now that I'm getting back into the swing of things, I've come to realize that flipping concumes a great deal of energy. So here is my question, since I'm starting over from scratch, do I flip or not during my workouts? My ultimate goal is to build enough distance to re-join a masters program. Do I flip or not flip, that is my question.
Thanks!
Kristen
flip! It is also supposed to help tone up your abs
I frequently don't do flip turns (depends on how my back is feeling), however... The other day I made it a point to really throw my head down and crunch going into my flip. I definitely felt it in my abs. My turns also seemed faster.
A good flip turn is more satisfying than doing boring old crunches...
