I'm new here and perhaps you can excuse me for asking a somewhat stupid question that probably gets asked all the time. We all know swimmers have amazingly toned bodies. So what do the top competitors such as Michael Phelps or other Olympic swim athletes do to get such desired results?
If I could follow a specific training schedule, there would be much more motivation for me to actually do it.
