I am looking to see what everyone out there is doing for there dryland program or strength program. I work at a facility called IHPSWIM and we take a functional approach to our training. We are taking the intensity to the next level since taper is right around the corner, Here is what we did yesterday with the Fort Lauderdale aquatics of Boca Raton. Leg Circuit 3 x 24 squats 24 lunges 24 split jumps 12 jump squats (we do this twice through non - stop in under 2:30) That is a total of 6 sets - killer leg workout! We finished with some core work and some rope climbing. What are you guys doing out there or what questions do you have? Grif Fig Founder of IHPSWIM

  • four months ago, I began dryland workouts to help my swimming. I had never used weights or dryland to any extent in my Masters training. I read some on-line material but settled for the P90X workouts. I don't use real heavy weights to build bulk, but find these workouts excellent for all around core, flexibility and strength improvement. We will see in Arizona this spring if it makes much difference in the pool. I am extremely happy with the results and sense of overall fitness. This is especially helpful because I can do all this in my home. I am only able to swim three to four times per week. I needed something more.
