Now that weather is heating up swimming pool workouts are great. Not only do you stay cool, you can get a very good cardio workout, and a resistant body workout too. The water provides resistants and buoyancy the best workout conditions. Resistants makes your body work hard which gives a faster result in a shorter time. Buoyancy takes the weight of your legs, knees, and back to make exercising less stressful on your body.
Here is a list of exercises
- Jogging around the pool
- Leg lifts
- Step ups using a set of plastic steps or if you have build in steps to the pool
- Jumping jacks
- Holding the side of the pool an treading water
- Scissor steps (one leg in front the other in back switch legs while stand in place) like stiff leg jogging
- All forms of stretching (Waist bends side to side, front to back) (hands on the hip and twist slowly side to side) all of these a great for your core. aka waist.
- Balancing on one leg at a time
- Using a paddle board to swim around the pool
- If you can swim do laps. This is the best overall body workout in the world. Have you every seen a Fat swimmer in the Olympic
- Once in the pool you can come up with your own workout routine. Give it a Try.
I find using a pool adds more fun and a lot less stress on my body when working out. I get a better workout in less time the plus factor is I say cool doing it.
