Odd way of swimming... does this work?
I swim every day, usually about 20 laps, but have been really dissapointed in my arms. I do lift a bit, but not as much as I'd like to as the pool is about a block from my house and the closest gym is about 20 miles.
Lately I've been tacking on an extra 10 laps every day, where I only use my arms, with my fingers spread in kind of a doggy paddle and just let my legs hang. It takes forever, and builds up a serious burn in my forearms and shoulders, and seems to be a good cardio workout as it really makes my heart race. Am I gonna see any gains from this, or is it just gonna exercise certain muscles, and not my whole arms?
