How to get healthy in your pool this summer
Getting fit in your swimming pool is one of the best ways to build cardiovascular strength, lung capacity and do it all without risk of injury. You can even “sneak” exercise in when you’re having fun and getting fit with your children. They won’t even know they’re getting in shape!
You burn more calories in a swim workout than in most any other exercise routine because of the resistance of the water and the water’s buoyancy cushions your muscles and joints against injury — it’s a win all day.
Some of the many health benefits you will reap from a swimming pool workout include:
- No risk of injury.
- Better resistance whether you’re swimming, running from side to side or playing games with the kids.
- Your heart benefits
- Your lungs benefit
- You will strengthen your muscles and that will help with overall health, fitness and even balance
- The more you swim, the more calories you burn and in a shorter time
- It’s a low impact work out that your doctor will probably approve of, even if you’ve been leading a sedentary lifestyle
- Swimming release endorphins and leads to a reduction in stress levels.
- Swimming is great for all ages and activity levels!
- You’ll sleep better if you swim slow laps before bedtime
Have you been looking at your pool and thinking that you’re just not using it as often as you should be? Why not make this summer the one you commit to using it daily and to getting in shape!
