Triathlon Exercises - Total Body Exercise For Swimming
Courtesy of Carey at boundless-energy.com, this total body exercise is an excellent way of promoting functional exercise with very little equipment. The exercise targets total body, taking in most of the major muscle groups in the body.
Start off with 15 reps, each rep should take about 1 second from start to finish . 15 reps equates to 1 complete ‘set’. Look to complete 3 sets and only increase the number of exercise reps once the exercise has become very easy. Please ensure that you maintain good form during the squat phase, keeping the knees parallel to the ground and feet shoulder width apart. Also try not to hyper-extend the lower back when your arms are fully extended above your head. If you feel the resistance is to great forcing you to hyper-extend, take a step forward to reduce the resistance on the training band. If you are unable to get to a gym then please make sure that your surroundings are sufficiently adequate so you can perform the exercise safely.
Make sure that you have completed a sufficient warm-up prior to starting the exercise and that you stretch the worked muscle groups upon exercise completion.
Please understand that exercise and physical activity, including the use of equipment is potentially hazardous. Participation in physical activity may result in injury and that you choose voluntarily to take part in these activities, including using any free weights, resistance or cardio equipment.
