Exercise Workouts For The Pool (On YouTube)

Exercising is an important element for a healthy lifestyle. It keeps us physically fit. It is also good for weight loss and also maintaining our weight afterward. Exercise workouts, in one form or another, are healthy habits to have. If you are unsure of how safe exercise of any kind is for you, please seek out the advice of your doctor before starting out.

There are many forms of exercise to engage in, and doing an exercise workout that we enjoy will keep us doing it! We may also choose a few different forms of exercise to keep our routines fresh. This can be helpful to prevent boredom, and to give us another way to exercise when conditions aren’t suited for what we had planned. Think about days of inclement weather or closed facilities that prevent us from exercising.

Pool Exercise Workouts

A pool is a great place to exercise. We can enjoy the cooler water while working out. The water is also buoyant. It is less stressful to weight-bearing joints like knees and hips. The water also creates a lot of resistance when it’s in motion so consider it resistance training! It also is fantastic for balance and core strength. I wrote an article all about the benefits of aqua fitness, “The Benefits of Aqua Fitness-Let’s Dive In”. The benefits are many!

Whether you have a pool at your gym, a community pool, or one in your backyard, you have a place you can exercise. You don’t need any equipment either. You can use “water noodles”, ” water dumbbells” or water float boards if you have them. They are relatively inexpensive if you want to try them out.
