GROUP EXERCISE TIP OF THE MONTH:
TABATA TRAINING
Come to one of our Cardio Sculpt, Cycling and/or Boot Camp classes and ask about
TABATA training. It is a high intensity interval training lasting 4 minute long for each
round. You will push yourself at your highest fitness output for 20 minutes than recover
for 10 seconds. You will repeat this 8 times in the next four minutes.
GROUP
EXERCISE
& FITNESS
The following drill is an example of TABATA training and will be featured in Dolores
Montenegro’s Cardio Sculpt classes. Please check the Group Exercise schedule for her
class times.
The intent of this drill is to alternate efforts
between half-squats (not full and pulse style)
with bicep curls. As a High Intensity Interval
effort, this works biceps and legs. There are 8
cycles in TABATA training. Each cycle is comprised
of a 20 second effort followed by 10 seconds of
recovery using the 10 seconds to transition; start
with 20 seconds of resistance band squats, then 10
seconds to transition to 20 seconds of bicep curls;
continue alternating between efforts until you
complete 4 full minutes of this effort. When done
correctly, you should feel ready to transition between
each segment and at the end of the 4 minutes your
muscles should feel completely fatigued and ready for
full recovery.
MASTERS SWIM TIP OF THE MONTH:
PUSH OFF
After your dive, you’re never moving faster than when you push off the wall. And you want to keep
this speed with you as you start swimming. It’s so easy to make this an advantage at every wall if
you think about it and make it a habit. First, always set your feet at the right depth—roughly 20
inches below the surface, knees bent about 90 degrees (don’t tuck up too much). Then be sure your
hips and shoulders line up in the correct trajectory—pointing you toward the far wall—before you
squeeze and streamline, toes pointed, as you power off the wall. Trajectory, streamline, power. You
should be able to keep this speed well beyond the backstroke flags every time before breakout. And
remember, you can’t kick as fast as you can push off, so don’t be impatient. Ride your streamline
on every push-off.
A word about trajectory: The faster you can get streamlined, the faster you’ll get off the wall and
the farther you’ll travel. For flip turns—free and back—this means piking sharply and tightly while
using your hands to press down behind you. Then, as your body reverses, continue pressing with
your hands, through and up, toward your forehead. For open turns—fly and breast—it means
dropping down into trajectory on your side, not on your stomach, to present the least resistance
and line up faster.
Come try our masters swimming group at Los Gatos Swim and Racquet
Club on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday 5:30am - 6:30am or Tuesday and
Thursday 9:30am - 10:30am or 7:00pm - 8:00pm. We have a great group
of people who love to swim and have a good time. We are looking
forward to a great year with many fun events!
