Hi all,
I would like to know what is the best workout solution for swimming etc? How many times should I train a week. Is there a specific training program for me to follow strictly?
Also, is there a need to do workout in gym? I can't swim a lap of butterfly style because the back of my shoulders is stiff (ie. the back of my arms, just below the shoulder is stiff). How can I make it relax and not stiff? I understand that with a stiff shoulder and arm, I won't be able to swim fast and stroke the water correctly.
Lastly, if I visit the gym, what kind of workout should I do? Is there restriction on certain workout machines I should refain from using? Also, could someone kindly guide me on what workout should I do in gym revalent and would help in my swimming training? Also, does using pool bouy often harms? I mean, I use pool bouy during my training... but should I use it often or just for certain sets of the program?
Currently, I'm not swimming fast enough. It took me 52 strokes (as in 2 hands stroking the water.. I'm not sure if this is the way to count the number of stroke) to finish 50m of freestyle.
Hope someone can reply to me and give me a rough guide on how to have a proper workout program and how to improve on my speed etc.
Thanks
