I'm basically swimming MWF in the morning and occasionally on Sat morning. On those days inbetween I'd like to do some Drylands/Weights.
Being that I'm just getting back into it I'm wondering what others are doing and if they could provide sample workouts here. For the last 15 years I've been a gym rat doing weights, cardio, etc. So I'm already fairly thick and muscular and just need to lean out. I have access to a gym and also have some basic stuff at home to make a circut (jump rope, medicine ball, small dumbbells, surgical tubings, mats).
Like today, I WAS going to do weights but slept in before going to work. So this evening I figured I'd make up a circut and run through it a few times and take the dogs for a long walk. I need to always switch things up as I get bored quick and my body gets used to repetitious workouts in a few weeks. Running/Jogging is pretty much out as its too easy to tweak a bad back I've had since college, though very short stinks at a "jog" pace I can usually do.
Thanks in advance! :)
Good stuff! Being big (6'1, 240) I need to work on fat lose, flexibility, and core strength the most. Outright strength isn't an issue, but that doesn't help me much in the pool either...yet. For this fall/winter just "giggling the fat" and making it sweat is probably enough, but like I said, I like to have a plan.
Lump....the great thing about this era of swimming is you actually don't....just squeeze it all into a B70 or Speedo FS Pro/LZR
and just like that your a light, skinny young dude all over again!
There are some pretty unique programs going on out there...and it seems they all are stating to merge elements of weights, yoga, pilates, etc....check this out from Auburn:
