@markus_marthaler: Resistance bands are one of the most convenient exercise tools for swimmers. Among many benefits, athletes and coaches use resistance bands because it is much easier to store and bring around. It is a “no excuse fitness tool” that swimmers should take advantage of. Furthermore, resistance band exercises engage more muscle groups (like the stabilizer muscles) due to the constant tension it creates. This is relevant because swimming tends to isolate smaller muscle groups in the body, thus causing imbalances that the athlete needs to address. The resistance band also helps to train the correct movement of an arm stroke as such and can be specifically used to only train that without the need to also focus on breathing and kicking 🏊♂️! #swimmingskills #swimtraining #swimstagram #swimminglove #speedousa #markusmarthaler #waterlover #swimmingtechnique #tri #swim #swimdrills #swimmingdrills #swimtip #swimvideo #triathlonswim #swimmer #swimming how to swim, how to swim freestyle
