Cardio – Swimming
How to Do Cardio – Swimming
- (First time? Try practicing in shallow water.) Once in the water, begin by pushing yourself into a horizontal position. Move your bent right arm up from behind you and dart it forward into the water. You won’t make a full circle.
- Push yourself through the water as you simultaneously bring your left arm up in a bent position. Once it is next to your ear, dart it forward and again, push the water underneath you.
- Repeat on each side, alternating back and forth. At the same time, kick with medium strokes in an alternating pattern.
