Workout of the Week: Abs Circuit

Swim.com is BACK after a brief hiatus. Over the past few weeks we’ve spent time fine-tuning the inner workings of our app. We’re pleased to announce the arrival of our new update, Swim.com 3.1.

We are excited to bring you another installment of the Workout of the Week in the form of an all-out abs onslaught.

We’ll be concentrating on the abs and obliques in this one, with a bunch of swimming specific exercises and movements.

  1. Hi Jason,
    Can you show a streamline squat, Russian twist Etc…
    My daughter will be 9 this month and she really enjoys competitive swimming. In my opinion she is pretty good and she better be, lol.
    I’m an ex-NHL player so I know a lot of workouts but I don’t know the names of the swimming ones and yes I understand she is only 9yrs old so the workouts will be lighter.
    Sorry the txt is so long but one more question.

    I need to know the best place for her to learn and train, we are in Riverview Mi.
    She does not lose very often and she needs to lose a bit. In the Ohio championships she went
    5-0 so I need to get her somewhere she will have the best competition for her sake not mine. I am not one of those parents that think she’s going to be the best ever and win gold.
    Thank you,
    Larry DePalma
