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!]]> Sat, 16 Aug 2008 03:48:40 GMT
