Core Training is vital to your athletic success and peak performance. The movements in this 15-minute program are designed to stabilize and strengthen your skeletal structure. Your core muscles act to synergize your abdominals, upper and lower back, hips, gluteus, and thigh areas. You can't have effective transfer of energy or power without a strong core. As you begin to work and condition the core, you will notice less fatigue associated with the body breaking down, helping to increase strength and reduce the risk of injury. As you prepare for your swimming event, the secret will be the effective transfer of energy from your core to your outer limbs through what we call functional movements. To improve your swim stroke, we're going to increase your swim power through a series of swim specific exercises and movements. Remember, you are only as strong as your weakest link! Core Training for Swimmers can be done almost anywhere in addition to your current strength training routine. This 4-week Intermediate Core Training Plan is designed for the seasoned individual getting back into fitness. It will refresh you on all the current core training exercises used to strengthen your abdomen and lower back (core). This 15 minute training plan would be a great addition to your current strength-training program.
