I don&#39;t exactly have access to a pool when I want it, but I can run, and go to the gym.

Anyone have any out-of-water workouts? I don&#39;t exactly have access to a pool when I want it, but I can run, and go to the gym. Thanks!! I had a friend recently inquire the exact same thing. After we thought of all the options, all we came up with was the elliptical, low impact, high cardio. I&#39;d suggest 3:30 repeats (2:50 work, :40 EZ) set on high climb, high resistance. If you can, alternate that with :30 on a nearby rowing machine that might help also.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
