SANTA CLARA, California, August 29. G. John Mullen, one of Swimming World's<\/i> dryland correspondents, has posted a dryland tip video on SwimmingWorld.TV. Today's exercise is called a "Sweaty" primarily because you need to be wearing sweats while doing them.<\/p>\n

Purpose:<\/b> Swimming-specific exercise to improve speed of long axis (free or back) kicking. <\/p>\n

Directions:<\/b> Lie on a glute-ham machine or exercise ball orienting your legs above your head. In this position, the athlete will mimic flutter kick for a predetermined time. The athlete will kick as fast as they can, primarily focusing on the up kick, the commonly weak aspect of flutter kick. This exercise stresses multiple muscles groups, but the athletes should focus on the gluteals and hamstrings.<\/p>\n
