Dryland and Pool Workout #6

Swimming on intervals

Dryland Workout

We’ll start out this dryland with work on form and function getting a good stretch in our muscles through the exercises.  Again, this is more about quality over quantity.  We’ll get into quantity later.

Allow a few minutes at the end to stretch and get changed.  See you on deck!

Pool Workout

We’re focusing on hypoxic and bilateral breathing. Bilateral breathing will help even your stroke out so it won’t be so your pull won’t be so heavy when you’re taking a breath.  Hypoxic training is also essential for increasing your VO2 Max and O2 intake.

We end with a little bit of interval work to spice things up.
