How a Swimming Pool Installation Can Improve Your Health
Achieve Your Fitness Goals Exercising In Your New Swimming Pool
Are you looking to step up your exercise routine? Maybe you’re feeling bored with the gym, wanting privacy and quiet while you exercise, or prefer to avoid busy environments. If so, a backyard swimming pool is the perfect solution!
Swimming is a fun and effective way to burn calories. When adjusted for factors such as gender, body type, and weight, spending an hour in the pool can burn nearly 1000 calories! Plus you leave the water feeling cool and relaxed instead of sweaty and worn out. It’s a win-win!
Here are some more ways that the installation of a custom designed pool in Tempe can improve your health and help you meet your fitness goals.
Swimming Is Low-Impact Exercise
Some popular methods of exercise, such as jogging or biking, are hard on the joints. But swimming, while burning calories, also has an extremely low impact on the body because of the buoyancy of the water. It’s an ideal form of exercise for seniors, people who are at risk of injury, people who are recovering from injuries, people with back pain or joint degeneration, and people who have medical conditions such as arthritis, that leave them especially vulnerable to damage from high impact types of exercise.
Swimming Provides An Amazing Whole Body Workout
When you slip into your backyard swimming pool designed just for you by a San Tan Valley custom swimming pool builder, you may not feel like you’re exercising. But the reality is that swimming is a full body workout with the ability to burn calories unlike any other fitness routine. As you move through the water, you’ll be toning your entire body and making your way toward your weight loss goals.
The type of swimming strokes that you perform will affect how many calories you can burn per minute, and you’ll love relaxing between sets in the cool water and sunshine. For optimal calorie burning, try a swim workout routine that rotates sets of freestyle, breaststroke, and butterfly strokes with periods of cooling down and resting.
Get Cardio & Strength Training All In One
When you swim, you’ll be toning your cardiovascular system, which will ultimately help you breathe more efficiently and build up your physical endurance. One of the best parts of exercising in the water is that you’ll feel weightless but since water is actually 780 times more dense than air, you’ll be working every muscle of your body as you glide through this resistance.
A Safe Exercise For People With Injuries
Due to the buoyancy of water and its low impact, swimming is an ideal method of exercise and calorie burning for people who are recovering from injuries. People who aren’t able to swim can still take advantage of the water by doing exercises such as walking in the water, weight training in water, or kicking with a paddleboard. The options are almost endless!
Swimming Naturally Boosts Mood
We all know that any kind of movement or exercise helps reduce depression, but swimming is an especially valuable way to boost mood. Throughout history, medical professionals have recommended hydrotherapy as a gentle but effective way to promote wellness and help with both physical and mental health conditions. The tranquility of the water and the feeling of weightlessness soothes stress and anxiety and reduces feelings of overstimulation. Especially when combined with the aesthetics of a beautifully designed Chandler new pool build surrounded by landscaping and natural rocks, you’ll likely find backyard swimming to be an outstanding mood booster and stress reducer.
Swimming Is Fun Exercise For Everyone
There aren’t many family friendly activities that everyone, from toddlers to teens, adults, and grandparents can enjoy together. Learning to swim is a beneficial skill that will be used throughout life. Maybe the best part of having a swimming pool in your backyard is that people of all physical abilities, and of any age or level of athleticism, can enjoy the pool together.
Other Ways Your Pool Can Benefit Your Health
Even when you’re not in the mood for freestyle or laps, your backyard pool provides the perfect place for other fun, calorie-burning activities and water sports so you can stay active. Water aerobics, volleyball, polo, and even stretching in the water will add variety to your workout routine.
