aatlas:Hi, all. I'm a new diver...7 dives so far. I want to tackle my air consumption rate, and I decided that getting in shape couldn't hurt. I'm thinking that my goals should be:
1. Lowest possible at rest heart and respiration rates
2. Quickest possible recovery to rest rate after 10 - 15 min. of moderate exercise (e.g., a few hundred yard surface swin).
Right now I'm working out 3 - 4 times a week. Swimming 400+ yards and doing 25 minutes of cardio training on the treadmill. I'm getting in better shape for sure, but I wondered if there was a particular regimen that would work best for this.
Thanks in advance!
Pick a few sports you can fit into your schedule. Doing something you enjoy while staying in shape is an excellent way to form good habits. Just keep moving! Working out with a buddy team also helps. If one individual can't make it you always have another workout buddy. This foster better communication both in and out of the water. Finally, low on cash? Grab a skipping rope, a friends bike and do simple exercises like sit-ups, push-ups and walking those stairs. Shovling snow is a five month workout routine in Canada.
Cheers!
