Tipton Pool Builders, serving Knoxville, TN offer swimming pool get-fit tips

As any swimming pool owner knows, the pool is the best place to have fun while frolicking with the family. It is also a great place to “sneak in” some exercise while you’re at it! Swimming lengths may seem like work, but playing Marco Polo or water volley ball.  A pool, in addition to offering your family a backyard vacation spot and a place to cool off in the summer, is ideal for exercise.

Talk with your swimming pool contractors from Tipton Pools about various in-pool exercises you can do and what kind of pool exercise equipment they may offer. spot for not only fun but getting in shape as well. In the hot, water aerobics hazy days of summer a water workout is a great way to keep up with your exercise regiment regardless of the temperatures.

Consider adding a set water aerobics routine to your daily pool time. Why? Because working out in the water provides a way to build muscle strength and flexibility in a non-impact way. A water work out also helps build healthy lungs and is great for cardio.

Even more benefits to a water workout routine:

Build muscle strength. The resistance of the water as compared to working out on land gives you a stronger workout and use your muscles more effectively than an on-land workout.

Minimal strain on your joints. Running, walking and weight training are beneficial but can be hard on the joints. Water supports up to 80% of your body weight and this means less of a chance of injury. Senior citizens can benefit from working out in water and the workout can even help with arthritis sufferers.

Water exercise keeps your body temperature regulated — unlike if you’re running or jogging or biking in a hot and humid day and you can get overheated. Exercising in a swimming pool keeps your body temperature constant when the weather is hot and/or humid.

Build heart health and strength. Putting your all into a water aerobics exercise routine greatly helps strengthen your heart.

Even though you’re exercising in water and you may not feel the effects of a hot, humid day you need to remain hydrated even while you’re swimming.
