Okay, so apparently I am a slow learner. This morning during my swim workout, I was about 40 yards into a 500 yard pull and I suddenly made the "core" connection.
Since day one of swim practice one of my biggest obstacles in swimming is turning my hips. It turns out that if you use your abs...like really use your abs, it makes turning those hips over way easier. What a concept! How this never truly got thru until today, is a mystery.
And guess what....if you turn your hips over when swimming, it makes it easier to go FASTER...WHAT?!?! Wow!
It was a fun and funny workout for me this morning. But also a very important day for me as a swimmer.
I would like to note that this late realization is not a reflection of the awesome training I've received to day! It is a testament to the stubbornness (I think that is a word, blogger didn't spell check it)of my brain!
Actually, I think it is because swimming is becoming easier, I am starting to master some parts and like most things in life; that reveals new things to learn!
Here's to learning (and six pack abs)!
