Everyday Sweat Day 1:

Although I swim (a non-weight bearing exercise) 4 to 5 times every week to keep myself in shape, weight lifting, (weight bearing exercises), still plays a major role in my training. I am gradually moving away from lifting heavy weight as my swimming season goes on; I want to keep my muscle strength balanced for better hip rotations when swimming. In order to keep my balance, I focus on body weight training few times a week, mainly by doing Everyday Sweat. Everyday Sweat gives me a guideline to what muscle groups are to be trained, then I add other forms of exercise to keep my workout interesting. Below is today’s Everyday Sweat workout:

• Hip rotations: 2 x 10
• Wide, regular, and close grip push-ups: 3 x 30
• Bicycle crunches: 1 x 20
• Leg lifts: 1 x 30
• Regular crunches: 1 x 15
• Jumping jacks: 2 x 1 minute
•  Parachute: 1 x 1 minute
