Strength Training at Home Workout Series
With the pandemic sweeping the planet right now, most of us aren’t able to go diving. But that doesn’t mean that your fitness has to suffer. Suit up and see if you go distance with Italian instructor and cave and tech diver Caterina De Seta. You’ll be better for the exposure!
By Caterina De Seta
As we preach in our courses, physical activity is an integral part of our diving as it allows us to dive safely and efficiently. In this difficult period we are all experiencing, it is essential to keep in good physical shape in order to stay strong and healthy. I am not a fitness teacher, but I thought I would share my daily workouts with our community. If you would like to follow along with me I hope to stimulate your desire to move around a bit. Have fun!
