I understand that swimmers at U of Texas use a homemade wheeled device for core training. Does anyone here know about its use? design? could you share that information with me. Apparently, they use these devices while pulling themselves up the ramps into the football stadium.
I would like to train using one of these. Any help is greatly appreciated.

You may be interested in getting the power wheel. It's just a larger wheel with pedals you can strap your feet into. I think it requires more side abdominal strength as your core has to balance to keep you from drifting too much to one side. "Alligator walking" is one of my favorite strength workouts, basically you just pull yourself forward on your hands. Except when you pull forward with one hand, you do a pushup. Then you move your other hand forward and do another pushup, repeating until you collapse (Which doesn't take long! :)
