glide technique

The glide technique is a method for maintaining smooth and controlled movement, often used in activities like swimming, skating, or skiing. It involves focusing on conserving energy by reducing unnecessary movement and allowing momentum to carry you forward efficiently. For example, in swimming, it means stretching out and gliding through the water with minimal strokes once you’ve gained speed, rather than constantly stopping and starting. This technique helps improve overall efficiency and endurance by optimizing how you use your body’s momentum, reducing fatigue, and making your movements more streamlined.
