Build a Pool
Those with a pool may not realize that they have a way of staying in good physical shape in their own backyard. There are many different water exercises that can help keep anyone in shape. In fact, a pool can be just as beneficial as a gym! From teenagers to senior citizens, everyone is able to take advantage of water workouts. Here are some of the amazing benefits of working out in the comfort of your own home:
Build Muscle
Any aerobic exercise will focus on your major muscles. Add the water resistance to your simple workout and the combination is one beneficial workout. The force of water on all directions of your body help create the feel of weights to help grow all of the major muscles in the body.
Simple walking laps in the shallow end of the pool can help keep someone in shape all summer long.
Improve Flexibility
Just like working out at your local gym or running/jogging around the neighborhood, the more someone works out, the more flexible they will become. The same goes for any exercise that takes place in a pool. Just doing laps for 15-20 minutes a day can go a long way over time.
Encourages Weight Loss
Any form of aerobic workout is a surefire way of burning calories and ultimately losing weight. Those struggling with weight issues may find it easier working out in a pool rather than going to the gym. Aquatic exercises are able to decrease more body fat compared to ground exercises. The added feeling of weightlessness may also allow you to do more in the pool compared to on the ground.
