Everyone is enraptured by water in some way or the other. Some like turbulent and roiling currents of the sea while others enjoy calm and tranquil blue water of the swimming pool. And, with a wide range of aqua exercises to choose from, the swimming pool is the best place to shed those extra kilos. In fact, pool exercises are adventurous, fun-filled, thrilling, and exciting too. These aqua exercises are effortless, motivating and there’s nothing like spending extra hours in a pool.
Here are some benefits of burning your extra flab in water:
# 1 The heavier resistance against water will help you burn more calories in a shorter amount of time. Aquatic exercise is a great way to indulge in a cardio workout, while it also helps to increase your strength, endurance, and flexibility.
# 2 Aquatic exercises are incredibly easy on the joints. A principle, known as ‘buoyancy’ means that you can experience as much as 90 percent less weight when in the water. This makes water exercises an ideal activity for a low impact water workout thereby, making it possible for those who are overweight, pregnant, injured, or experiencing chronic joint pain.
# 3 Swimming is a complete exercise in itself. It offers flexibility and strength to your muscles and at the same time, it tones your inside system too. Pool exercises make your heart and lungs strong. Studies have shown that aquatic exercises may help lower blood pressure and control blood sugar.
# 4 People with Asthma and Multiple Sclerosis (MS) may also find aquatic exercises beneficial. Water makes the limbs buoyant, helping to support them during exercise. Besides, water also helps with the improvement of symptoms like fatigue, depression, and disability.
# 5 Pool exercise is an efficient way to burn calories & keep you fit as a fiddle. Water also has greater resistance than air, which means walking in water requires more effort and ultimately burns more calories than walking on land.
Water workouts are thus an effective way to boost your cardio fitness while also strengthening the major muscle groups in your body.
