I recently joined a gym that has a pool which I'm overjoyed about because I love a good dip but had no idea how quickly this would become my favorite way of getting fit. See, I have problems with aching joints after a hard workout or run but that gets totally eliminated when working out in the pool. So I did some experimenting with kicks and swimming laps and then decided to come up with my own set program. After just a couple weeks I lost almost all of my gained vacation weight and was feeling toned without all the aches and pains. Best of all, it works nearly every muscle in your body and it's actually fun to do!
So there, beat the heat whilst getting fit at the same time. Now theres no excuse. Back to the pool!
Ps...Swimming can burn around 700 calories an hour!
