Have you started thinking about what your New Year’s resolutions will be for 2016? Whether you want to start living a healthier lifestyle, lose some extra weight you put on throughout the year or just spend more time relaxing with friends and family, look no further than your pool to help you achieve your goals!
Swimming is a fantastic way for you to look better and feel better in the New Year. It is one of the greatest low-impact exercises for you and it’s perfect for everything from weight loss to keeping your heart healthy. A low-intensity swim can burn around 500 calories an hour, while a vigorous effort can burn almost 700. And because water is nearly 800 times denser than air, each kick, push, and pull is like a mini resistance workout for your entire body—especially your core, hips, arms, shoulders, and glutes. So, in addition to blasting calories as you swim, you build lean muscle, which jumpstarts your metabolism so that you burn more calories once you’ve showered and dried off.
Besides the obvious health benefits that swimming provides for your body, it is also a great way to relieve stress. The regular rhythm of the stroke, the immersion in the water and the concentration on the technique quickly feel like a relaxing meditation in the water. So if your goal is to live a more stress-free lifestyle in 2016, make sure to hit the pool for regular swims!
