I'm looking for ideas on kick only workouts for shoulder injuries. I actually didn't injure my shoulder swimming...technically: a 17 year old jumped straight down on it in the warm up lane this weekend. :bitching:
I've got drs orders to skip arms for the next 6 weeks while I do PT. I'm trying to come up with some interesting kick only workouts and everything's coming up a bit vanilla. I also can't decide what percentage to devote to fins vs/no fins/vs endurance/vs sprints and all that jazz. I'm a weak kicker, unless it's breaststroke, so this should be good for me. I've tried searching but the few threads I've found don't seem to have much information and the coached workouts are tricky to dig through and just look for kick workouts. I'm really not even sure how many yards I need as my kick is much slower. I'm guessing about 1/2 the yards I would normally do, so maybe 1500-2000?
How about 5 rounds of 300:
R1: 6x50 w/ fins as 25 underwater dolphin/25 fast bk flutter
R2: 6x50 w/ fins as 25 fast bk flutter/25 underwater dolphin
R3: 4x75 or 3x100 choice focusing on distance per kick
R4: 6x50 fr desc 1-3, 4-6
R5: 3x{4x25} variable sprint non-fr/fr/non-fr ("variable sprint" means: 12.5 fast/12.5 ez; 12.5 ez/12.5 fast; 25 ez; 25 fast)
