Olympic Swimmer Workouts

Hey guys

Have you seen the latest cover of Sports Illustrated? Now that swimming is in the spotlight, we should take a look at how swimmers train. In fact, according to Ben Greenfield, head trainer of Pacific Elite Fitness, for swimmers, heading to the weight room is actually a good alternative workout.

He says that it can be both fun and challenging. In addition, “for an extra boost to your multi-sport training”, you can pair swim-specific workouts with a spin class or bicycle workout. For a challenging workout, try Ben’s complete workout at About.com, Alternative Weight Room Workouts for Swimmers and Triathletes.

For more swimmer-specific workouts, stay tuned.
