Are you a member of DAN? I believe there's a regular column in each issue of their magazine, Alert Diver, on exercises one can do to improve muscular fitness.Thanks for all the tips!
Just one thing to reiterate--I'm not looking for overall getting into shape (I'm doing ok with that), it's just getting over dive-specific sore muscles.
