Hey guys thanks for reading this .
i started swimming about a month a go
i have an infection in my knee and 2 tendonitis at my both elbows.
the doctor said if i want to continue doing sports , i should do swimming for now .
i started training in the nearby pool
and honestly , i had no idea how hard can it be .
i got down the technique with some help from a coach there (free style technique)
and i since i lost muscle mass , i would like to have some of it back.
as for my GOALS from swimming :
getting faster (doing 25 meters freestyle in 17:03 sec is kind of bad i guess.)
and get some muscle mass as well as getting a little ripped
can someone give me some workout routines for getting my goals?
i want to use only goggles in the water , and if really necessarily i will buy other equipment
thanks , salute :) ]]> Coaching Orel Fox http://forums.usms.org/showthread.php?22512-how-to-get-better http://forums.usms.org/showthread.php?22510-More-Fun-with-Land-Based-Fitness&goto=newpost Tue, 14 May 2013 14:10:31 GMT Hello Friends, Athletes and Coaches - please assess, filter and decide what you are comfortable doing and only do that which you believe is safe and... Hello Friends, Athletes and Coaches - please assess, filter and decide what you are comfortable doing and only do that which you believe is safe and fits into your sense of want and possible need. Make SAFETY FIRST & FOREMOST in any program and selection of actions you may do. That includes making sure your equipment or the area you work in are safe and secure and being sure one has the readiness for the skills, load or volume to be undertaken. Consistency is good but it can also be good to branch off or at least modify what one does to allow for expanded experiences, learning and (SAFE) challenges that you and your body can learn from and adapt to. Some actions may seem sport specific and some may simply serve to allow for Fun, Fitness and perhaps add to sustainability - relative to one's sport specific pursuits or for health and balance in daily activity. Be well. Be safe. Stay fit.

NOTE: I film myself and I do not pretend to be a world class athlete so there may be motions that you or your athletes do better. That is great. Be proud of what you and your athletes can do. Simply take these as ideas and examples for you to consider and in many cases perhaps, perform better than I did. Enjoy and Embrace the Athlete Within.

Here are some ideas in case they fit into your idea of fun, safe fitness to add to your overall wellness training or to complement your swimming or triathlon training activity. Choose that which fits with your wants, needs, goals, sense of readiness and always do that which you deem to be safe. Have fun and embrace the athlete within. Be safe. Be fit.
