Swimmers, want to practice your stroke when you can't get to the pool? Try working out on the elliptical machine. It's the best way to simulate a freestyle or backstroke on dry land. While pedaling with your legs, you pull with your arms, alternating them. I discovered this while watching the Olympic swimming events while working out on the elliptical. I felt like I was swimming along with Michael Phelps!

OzzieOcean “ "What you talkin' bout Willis?" Sorry! Love the way you spelled the title. Very cool tip... I MUST try this out. Not sure if Phelps and I are in the same league, but I am a gamer and I will give it my best! ”
