Other names of exercise Backstroke
Description of exercise Backstroke is a swimming stroke where the swimmer lies on their back and moves their arms and legs in a continuous motion to propel themselves through the water. It is often considered the easiest of the four competitive swimming strokes, as the face remains out of the water and breathing is easier. The arms move in an alternating circular motion while the legs perform a flutter kick. The backstroke is a great exercise for building strength and endurance in the upper body, as well as improving core stability and balance. It also helps to improve posture and can be a low-impact form of cardio exercise.
