Daily Training Tip #634

Spring is the time of year where it is nice to take your workouts outside. However, if the weather doesn’t allow you to go outdoors on a specific day, take your workout into the pool. There are a couple pool workouts that can really benefit you as an athlete.




First, do your land based plyos in the pool. Find a spot in the pool that is chest depth and do all of your jumping in the pool. This lessens the impacts on your joints and adds resistance to each jump. This is also a good workout if you have a minor, lower body injury.



Second, aqua jog. Very similiar to jogging/sprinting on dryland, except less impact and great resistance.



Sometimes the pool is a nice change to your daily workout routine.
