Here are some general workout concepts to consider
Improving your technique can yield greater benefits than sheer effort alone; focusing on stroke development will pay off significantly in your performance. However, it’s essential to challenge your body to stimulate growth—without hard work, strength gains are unlikely.
Incorporating "dryland" stretching and weightlifting into your routine is helpful to this process. Remember, progress comes from a balance of hard work and recovery. As you age, your body may require more recovery time to adapt and grow stronger.
Pay attention to your body to find the right balance between effort and recovery for optimal results.
