The Rose Bowl Aquatics Center is offering an early morning coordinated strength class on Tuesday, Nov. 24, that will get participants back in motion.
The coed all-ages class will be taught by swim instructor Jonathan Chang and will focus on different aspects of functional training exercises.
In this high-level class series, participants will learn techniques and exercises that will continue to challenge and support them in their daily lives. Each class will include a mixture of functional training exercises including balance, reflex, coordination, resistive strength, and cardiovascular training. It’s guaranteed to hit muscles one never knew existed or perhaps had long forgotten.
An article by Taylor Byers in Swimming World magazine says strength training comes in all sorts of variations depending on the age and level of the swimmers. For beginners, swimmers need some dry-land exercises to start building athleticism. As they age, athletes need weights gradually added in order to incorporate strength and power into their dry-land routines in addition to improving athleticism.
The article says strength training builds muscle, helps prevent injury, teaches proper biomechanics, helps generate more power, and improves tapering, which generally refers to the practice of reducing exercise, especially in the days just before a competition.
Great for individuals looking to improve their mobility and strength, the Coordinate Strength class at the Rose Bowl Aquatics Center is from 7 to 7:45 a.m.
