Training is so much more than just swimming.......

Training is so much more than just swimming...

We use Parachutes which are attached to a belt around your middle and pull along in the water behind you, putting drag onto your body.

We use Trixter bikes.  These are exercise bikes but there is a screen in front of us and you follow the route on the screen. It also has other riders on the screen to make you feel like you are racing other people.

We also do cross country running which has been mentioned  in my previous posts.

We have land training in a gym/sports hall. sometimes we go on treadmills, rowers and other machines but at other times we do stretches and excersises for our core muscles.

We also do yoga which is really good for core stability. So as you can see it is much more than just swimming...
