Benefits of a Swimming Workout

November 5, 2015 by Adria Ali Leave a Comment

Even though the weather is turning away from the heat, there’s still one sensible reason to jump in the pool: exercise. Water aerobics has been around for a long time, and it is one type of resistance training that has not gone out of style.  We’ve added a simple exercise routine that anyone can do below.  Winter doesn’t have mean hibernate, keep the calories burning all winter long while you stay warm inside.

Aerobic exercise is basically any physical exercise that increases the heart rate as well as increasing the body’s intake of oxygen long enough to benefit the condition of the human body. Things such as walking, running, dancing, and swimming are defined as aerobic exercises, and these of course have been around for decades. What’s special about water aerobics are the several advantages one can gain from doing it, while also receiving the same benefits as regular aerobic workouts. It is an exercise that specifically conforms to your needs as an individual, while also conforming to your abilities and restrictions.

These are just a few of the benefits of a Swimming Workout

  • You can adjust the speed of your movements and change the level of exertion to make you feel as comfortable as possible.
  • You’re able to exercise every joint and muscle at the exact same time.
  • Because you’re in water, it will cool you off as you exert.
  • There is no age limit or restrictions for water aerobics.

The water supports your weight and ultimately causes less stress on your muscles and joints. And with the added benefit of the list of devices that keep you afloat in the water, you don’t even have to know how to swim! But what kind of exercise can you do that’s aerobic in a pool? Walking, jogging and running, for starters. All 3 are going to strengthen your quadriceps, your hamstrings and your glutes. In addition to that, it will help develop cardio respiratory fitness. You can add ankle weights and arm weights and use a ball to push down for added resistance.

Simple Swimming Workout Anyone Can Do!

As soon as you’ve developed a consistent technique that is comfortable for you, try to walk or jog in the water for between 10 to 20 minutes per exercise session. Water aerobics has an added benefit: it enables you to burn up calories much more efficiently.

Compare the following estimates of calorie consumption for a 30-minute workout:

  • Land walking: 135 calories
  • Deep water walking: 264 calories
  • Jogging on land: 240 calories
  • Deep water jogging: 340 calories

How many calories you burn swimming for 60 minutes.

Winter doesn’t have to be a time for you to slow down on your fitness results.  Use Fall and Winter as a way to change up  your routine and stay indoors.  This swimming exercise routine will help you avoid the cold while still fighting the winter blues.
