Leg Power

Today's exercise was a power based workout. Warm up was the same as my last work out (5 minutes on a cross trainer). Main set consisted of 10 squats , 12 push ups, 12 wave push ups, 30 seconds powerful skipping (no rope), 12 sit ups, 12 bicycles, and 12 side sit ups, all that was 3 times though.

When doing the 10 squats and the 30 seconds of hard skipping should be done as hard and as powerful as you can go. These are good exercises for swimmers especially backstrokes and butter flyer's because if you have allot of power in your legs you will be able to get a faster start and have more change of getting in front. Also it will help with with my butterfly kick which will benefit my streamlining of the wall. this set is to be done hard and with very little rest in between each set, this will help produce lactic acid which will help your legs to get stronger. But make sure that after each set is done you have about 1 to 1.30 minute rest. If you don't you will have to much lactic acid in your legs and wont be able to do the exercise right and will not get the full effects.
