Dryside Training: Exercise Equipment Series – Medicine Ball and Cable Exercises<\/span><\/h2>\n

By J.R. Rosania
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

In our last article (SW April<\/a>), we focused on TRX suspension straps to enhance stroke stabilization and body positions in the water. This month, we\u2019ll focus on the benefits from using a medicine ball and cables or pulleys.<\/p>\n

The first thing that a medicine ball offers is resistance. Secondly, you can throw it and catch it. Begin with a 6-pound ball and progress to 8 and 10 pounds with time. Cables allow for different stroke movements.<\/p>\n

Together, these two types of equipment enable the swimmer to strengthen his or her stroke and core.<\/p>\n

I recommend doing this program twice a week, performing each exercise for three sets of 15 repetitions. As always, discontinue these exercises one week before a major competition.<\/p>\n
