My first class I broke a sweat like I was doing suicides. Yoga is a great way to build your strength, stay lean and stretch out your body in the off-season. A lot of colleges actually offer yoga classes to students, so make sure to keep an eye out for the schedule if this interests you!<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.

Spin Classes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With a good instructor, these classes can be harder than a 10,000-yard practice. Okay, maybe not harder but they definitely comes close. Spin classes will help you to work on your endurance in the off-season, and possibly event assist you in keeping the six-pack your swim coach gave you this season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Intramural Sports<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A lot of athletes at my school will take up softball in the off-season and play other teams that are also on break. Not going to lie, it was funny to see my swim friends play softball against our school&#8217;s baseball team last year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.

The goal is to have five practices a week, varied between swimming, running and biking, and at the end, they all do a triathlon together. It keeps you in shape because you have a goal set that you work towards, just like we are used to in swimming.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Work out with a buddy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Some days it\u2019s hard to pull yourself away from the pizza and into the gym. What better way to stay in shape then by doing it with your friend?

We are so used to being able to eat whatever we want, whenever we want, that we tend to forget that when we aren\u2019t doing doubles, we can actually gain weight from what we put into our bodies. The key here is to just make sure you balance the good with the bad. If you had a healthy breakfast, lunch and dinner, it\u2019s okay to eat those cookies you\u2019ve looked forward to all day!<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. Create a\u00a0simple workout schedule<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m the type of person that even in the off-season, I like to workout everyday. For me, having a routine of getting my classes out of the way, getting to the gym, going to dinner and then doing homework before bed keeps me in line. As swimmers, we are so used to working on a schedule that when the season is over and we have free time, we don\u2019t know what to do with ourselves. Having a routine will help keep you up with your time-management skills.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9.
