TRX Triathlon Training - The Best Way To Improve Your Swim

Many weekend triathletes consider swimming to be their weakest discipline.

This is just a natural consequence due to several factors. The obvious one is lack of pool time. In most areas its not easy to find a heated pool in the winter, so swim training is something that can only be done once the weather warms up, which is usually the beginning of the triathlon season.

If you don’t swim regularly it is easy to become deconditioned in the water. Swimming requires the use of certain muscles that simply do not get trained when you are running or cycling.

Triathletes must maximize the efficiency with which they perform their swim workout by preparing themselves prior to getting in the water. “Dryland” workouts that emphasize strength, flexibility and core stability are the key to getting the most out of your swimming workout.

The TRX Suspension Trainer workout for triathletes makes it easy for triathletes to get this kind of workout at home. One of the Suspension Training exercises that can be done using the TRX is called the “Oblique Body Saw”.

In this TRX Suspension Training workout routine for triathletes, core performance and stability in the frontal plane (predominantly used in swimming) is emphasized.

Performing the Oblique Body Saw exercise as part of a 30 minute TRX Suspension Training workout at home will help the triathlete become a better swimmer by strengthening those core muscles that tend to fatigue quickly during the swim.

Watch the video below to see how the Oblique Body Saw exercise performed with the TRX Suspension Trainer can help you.
