Swim Faster Today Courtesy of Chelsey Walden Schreiner Streamline. Streamline. Streamline. Streamlining upon entering the water and off your walls may be obvious, but it is often overlooked or the first thing to go when your arms tire and muscles scream. However, it is one of the most important habits you can practice over 100 times during a workout. Streamlining reduces drag and therefore keeps your body moving faster in the water. Those hundredths of a second can mean the difference between places. Remember, Jason Lezak out-touched Alain Bernard by...

1. Smooth Exercise Motion With Slow Tempo - Avoid bouncing up and down while doing calf raises. Every repetition should be slow and controlled with no jerky or ballistic movements. Each repetition should take about 3-4 seconds to execute. 2. Full Range of Motion - Some bodybuilders use a short range of motion that's not even 2 inches. Your calves are capable of much more range. Each calf raise repetition should have a full range with an ankle joint lockout and a peak muscle contraction at the top and a...

How To Do A Proper Bench Press Proper bench press form is pretty straightforward, yet so many people in the gym get it wrong. Once you’ve done one rep with good form, you’ll have it down. From there, it’s just a matter of staying focussed on technique and leaving your ego at the door. Here’s how to bench for maximum gains while avoiding injury. Grip Width In a nutshell, the wider your grip, the more you work the pectorals, and the narrower your grip, the more you work the shoulders...

Enables all core muscles to work together. Sit on your butt with knees bent up toward the ceiling. Holding your legs with your hands, lift your feet one inch off the ground and balance. When your balance is perfect and your back straight, clasp your hands in front of you. Twist down from side to side, tapping your elbows to the mat, twenty-five times each. Advanced: Hold a hand weight or medicine ball while twisting.

Back Bend Elongates core. While on your knees, bring your palms flush against your lower back, fingers pointing down. Using your hands as brackets, slowly press your hips forward and tilt your chin up. Go to where it feels comfortable. Slightly drive your elbows toward each other. Hold for five deep breaths.

Proper Push Up Form: How To Do A Push Up 1 Push ups offer a ton of great benefits including: 1) Perform Push Ups Anywhere – You can do push ups anywhere because they only require your body weight. No fancy or expensive equipment required. 2) Increase Pushing Strength – Push ups engage your chest, shoulders, triceps, and core for a complete pushing exercise.

Mental Training: Swimming Fast and Unburdened for Yourself By Dr. Alan Goldberg, Sport Psychologist Let me ask you what may seem like a really silly question. How fast do you think you’d swim if you went into your best events with a 150-pound weight strapped to your back? Obvious answer: You’d be so weighed down that you wouldn’t be able to get off the blocks. Believe it or not, this is exactly what a lot of swimmers unknowingly do at many of their big meets. They consistently go into their...

Bilateral Breathing Terry Laughlin, head coach of Total Immersion Swimming and coaching director of the Hawks Swimming Association in New Paltz, NY. Laughlin offers some advice on bilateral breathing. Laughlin’s Tip: My first practical coaching lesson came on my second day on the job. I started my coaching career at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at age 21 in September 1972. On Day 1, I noticed that virtually my entire team of 16 college men had lopsided freestyle strokes, rolling more to one side or the other, crossing under the...
