Home Workouts

During the first lockdown, we sent out some information regarding creating a daily routine. Unlike Lockdown 2.0, school has now returned to remote learning from home. It is important to take the time each day to get outside, take in some fresh air and try and get into a routine with exercise, to keep you both physically and mentally fit during your time out of the pool.

As with Lockdown 1.0 and 2.0, we will be putting together a simple exercise routine made up of cardio training ideas, HIIT sessions for upper and lower body, Yoga and also mindfulness session ideas - to help you relax. The plans will be available below, with a short video clip for you to refer to, which will demonstrate exercises in a bit more detail, available on the WSSC YouTube and WSSC Facebook pages.

On some days we won’t necessarily follow a plan, you may just be asked to go for a run or follow a video such as a yoga class via an online link that you will be specified. Plans will be made user friendly and self-adjustable so that a wide range of our swimmers from ALL squads can get involved. Equipment requirements will be kept to a minimum as we will obviously be limited to what we have available in our own homes.

To keep content minimal and to avoid over complicating things, it is expected that you will use your normal poolside warm up routines for each home workout session. A copy of the land warm up routine can be found by clicking  HERE.

Each session should take you between 20 - 30 minutes to complete. When comparing that to the amount of time you would normally spend in the pool, we do not feel that this is a huge commitment make and therefore expect that you will push yourselves hard and make it challenging: “If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you”

The Videos for the for most workouts will be available to view via this club website, WSSC Facebook page & the WSSC YouTube Channel
