I am looking for suggestions on a fitness/conditioning regiment that will be compatible with my diving habit.
Over the past year, I have become highly involved in technical diving. I am diving deeper, longer, using enhanced mixes and of course have more nitrogen in my bloodstream. I am also divemastering for Open Water divers; and in that situation, do a lot of short dives of 30 ft or less on air.
I am also very much into fitness. I am currently an active runner and swimmer and used to be highly involved in cycling. I lifted weights, but have cut back because of the running.
I am in great health; not overweight; but in my forties.
What are the do's and don'ts for a workout regiment that will enhance my diving and keep me safe. For example as a rule, I don't run for at least 12 hours after a dive. What I am looking for are those exercises that would serve as good cross training for the diving. I need to create a new workout regiment.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice you might have for me.
