Advanced Pools, Inc. share workout routines for pool owners
Working out in a swimming pool usually doesn’t feel like work at all! The best pool workout routines for you can take place in the water where you will have the buoyancy of the water to alleviate any risk of injury to joints or muscles. Even though the water makes you bouyant, it still provides an ideal resistance training when you’re swimming laps or doing water aerobics.
Going from couch potato to workout maven is easier to accomplish with a pool workout than it is to get off the couch and think you’re running a marathon the next day! You can get in better shape with less risk of injury with a pool workout.
The best pool workout routines for you
There is no stress or strain to contend with with your joints and hips and knees and that makes swimming a great workout for those with arthritis, back pain, joint pain and those recovering from an injury. Check with your doctor to make certain you’re healthy enough to begin a swimming workout.
Here are benefits of a workout routine:
- If you have your own pool, you can exercise in private and you won’t have to travel to a place to work out.
- You don’t really even need equipment, but you can get some if you’d like to amp up the workout you’re getting.
- Swimming and using the natural resistance of the water amps up the cardio benefits you receive.
- Swimming laps and playing games with the kids in the pool gets your lungs stronger and healthier.
- Swimming builds strength and endurance.
- Use swim fins to build the strength in your legs.
- If you have arthritis you benefit from being in a hot tub or spa as the heated water provides relief. You can do aerobic exercise while in the heated water of the hot tub or spa.
- Use the pool to get in a walking workout using the resistance of the water to build strength without worry about injury.
- When you play with your kids in the pool, they will get in a workout without even knowing it!
