They require a stable core, particularly in the sagittal plane, while they bring their feet wide through hip internal rotation. These unique beasts also need superior adductor (groin) strength for propelling themselves forward. These four breaststroke core exercises touch on all these needs, but once again, hit the basics first, before progressing too far, as poor form and volume increase injury risk and feed into <a href=\"http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/3-core-training-mistakes-swimmers\/\">swimming core\u00a0training mistakes<\/a>, as Allan Phillips <a href=\"http:\/\/www.swimmingscience.net\/2015\/04\/dryland-mistake-v-ups.html\">recently discussed<\/a>, it typically isn&#8217;t the exercise at fault, but the technique\u00a0and volume.<\/p>\n<h2>Breaststroke Core Exercises<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h3>Knee Bent Bunkie with Adduction and Hip Internal Rotation<\/h3>\n<p>Form a side pillar or bridge by supporting your body in a side-lying position with one arm touching the ground while squeezing a bench with your knees. Place the hand of the upper arm on the hip. Keep your body in a straight line and contract your glutes. Next, rotate your hips inward, bringing your feet wide. Repeat.<\/p>\n<p>Hold for approximately 30 seconds.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OTuz4sdoCLU\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h3>Swiss Ball Rollout with Breast Kick<\/h3>\n<p>Place your forearms low on a Swiss Ball and your knees on the ground, then tighten your abdominals by bringing your pelvis to your ribs or tucking your pelvis under your hips, and tuck your chin to maintain a straight bodyline. Next, squeeze the Swiss Ball with your forearms, trying to bring them together, then roll forward and move your feet outward, similar to the outkick, then return.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure as the athlete rolls forward, they hold a straight bodyline from the top of the head to the tailbone. Any arching causes poor hydrodynamics and impair core and shoulder strength.\u00a0Perform for 30 \u2013 45 seconds.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MZk2pmQOKBI\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<ol>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h3>Pallof Press with Hip Internal Rotation<\/h3>\n<p>Securely set up a band head height while kneeling. Next, kneel on a mat and face away from the band. Set up your feet with your hips internally rotated and your feet wide. Brace your abdominals, then raise your arms overhead and slowly return the arms down, without letting your body arch.<\/p>\n<p>Perform for approximately 30 seconds.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cmYAl5k4Nyg\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h3>Ab Wheel with Ball Squeeze and Hip Internal Rotation<\/h3>\n<p>Kneel with your knees on a mat. Next, brace your abdominals, squeeze a ball between your knees, and rollout on the wheel. While you are in the extended position, internally rotate the hips inward, driving the feet wide. Next, return the legs. Do not let the back arch!
